Seeing the other post here about YouTuber that went downhill and seeing content creators I am familiar with makes me sad. But how about those that still makes great, high quality content?

Gaming
EthosLab - most authentic Minecraft YouTuber around. No trash clickbait, cringeworthy attempts to appeal to children, ad spam, etc. Just a dude chilling out and playing Minecraft.
Battle(non)sense - Tests various input lag reduction tech + strategies. Input Lag: Low DPI vs High DPI - turns out increasing your DPI can significantly reduce input lag! AMD AntiLag+ vs Nvidia Reflex - turns out not only does AMD’s solution trigger anti-cheat, but it also offen increases system latency.
Marblr - High quality analysis of weird game behavior. Mostly Overwatch for now. Overwatch: The Effectiveness of Shield Spinning
People Make Games - Videos about games and the gaming industry. Highly accessible to folks not familiar with the industry. Making Sense of VR Chat, the Metaverse People Actually Like
NoClip - Crowd funded feature length video game documentaries. Making of Horizon Zero Dawn
Makers

I Did a Thing - Australian man with a great sense of humor. Makes ridiculous stuff. Giant Beyblade destroys stuff

Science + Technology
Applied Science - In depth videos about random science-y things this dude finds interesting. No clickbait, just an excited dude talking about a project he tried.
Atomic Frontier - A lot like Tom Scott. He’s also a rare case where the video is more interesting than the title/thumbnail. Generally focused on science-y topics + has shockingly high production value considering the dude seems to be an overworked college student.
NileRed/NileBlue - Crazy in depth chemistry videos. Personally find NileBlue more entertaining as he tends to explore things he’s not that great at.
Practical Engineering - Explanations of various civil engineering concepts.
Other
Krazam - Legendary comedy channel focused on software engineering related topics. Most famous video - microservices.
You Suck At Cooking - Short videos presenting recipes in an entertaining way.
Studio Binder ; High quality videos about all things movie/video production. Owned by a movie production software company so you’re gonna see ads for it in every video but SponsorBlock gets rid of that with no issues. Ultimate Guide to Camera Movement - Every Technique Explained
Your makers can be padded out a bit more.
I did a thing - dry humor Australian who walks barefoot and wears an apron.
Michael Reeves - chaotic coding goblin that makes robots
TheBackyardScientist - Floridaman using his backyard to explode stuff
Mark Rober - Nasa engineer explaining science to kids with great editing
William Osman - Collaboration expert, you will see him in all the other channels mentioned above.
Thanks for the list, I’m sure others will appreciate it!
I’m actually subscribed to almost all of those channels lmao. I skipped several because I’m being picky, and I mean picky. You probably won’t agree with a lot of my decisions. Here’s what I mean…
I agree. There are not many YouTubers making and people enjoying the absolute tiny niche content I enjoy.
With your high standards you may like Huygens Optics an old optics engineer who does videos about light simply because he enjoys making them. But the content is niche.
