What are some quality YouTube channels that you recommend?

Kind of tired watching trash from YT.

Edit: Thanks for all the replies. It's good to see that there are still gems in YouTube.

Veritasium
- Veritasium tends to push stuff that's relatively promotion - based. Not so different to kurzgesagt.
  I've seen a couple of rebuttals from his videos that were sobering.
  EDIT: That said he's a great communicator and his black hole video helped me a lot trying to make sense of it.
  
  Do you happen to have a link to any of the rebuttals? I watch him a lot so I’m curious.
  
  This is one I found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM0aohBfUTc, they go a bit with the Veritasium guy in the comments.
  A similar thing also happened before to CGP Grey with Adam Something (https://youtu.be/oafm733nI6U), though I would argue that I didn't think CGP Grey had any secret agenda, it was just overreaching.
  That said, even the people I mention here they are also biassed in their own ways or they tend to now and then throw a foul ball.
  I simply felt that both Veritasium and Kurgesagt are very good at convincing of certain opinions shared with their promoters.
  
  Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=CM0aohBfUTc

  Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
  I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
- The ISHITANI FURNITURE channel is a goldmine of craftsman info. One day I will make my own bed like his.
