I went through my subscription list on FreeTube and filtered these out (the list was much lengthier initially :p)
- Alt Shift X — well detailed and narrated videos about fantasy series such as Dune, ASOIAF.
- Captain Disillusion — very well made videos about VFX.
- Computerphile — computer science twin of Numberphile; neat videos about the field with a wide range of guests.
- EthosLab — pretty much the only Minecraft creator I still watch; witty, quiet and virtually the same for a long time.
- hbomberguy — well known video essayist, easily one of the best in the platform
- Jacob Geller — another quality essayist, exploring different themes, such as horror
- Lemino — very well known creator focusing on mysteries, with incredible narration and stunning visuals
- LockPickingLawyer — very simple, to the point and informative channel about locks and lockpicking; also virtually unchanged for years
- Oversimplified — great overviews of major history events and periods, with funny narration and visuals
- Tantacrul — fairly unknown essayist on music, with well researched material and nice takes :P
- Then & Now — possibly my favorite atm (alongside hbomberguy); extremely well researched and presented video essays about history, politics and philosophy; very underrated imo
Did not expect the ethoslab shout out, I fell off a while back but I followed his videos pretty religiously for many years back in the 2010s; even when I was going through times where I burned myself out on playing MC.
Dude is super wholesome and I loved how his videos kinda just felt like hanging out with a friend. Ive checked on him since and I respect that he has not changed at all, love him dearly. But it just doesnt hit the same for me as it did back then. I hope he keeps doing what he loves as long as that's still the case!
Very well put, he makes an effort of bringing you along, which is a nice thing for a younger audience. I never stopped liking his relaxed style, though. His videos are one of those things I always reserve some time to enjoy.
I guess a lot of people on Lemmy indirectly know Tantacrul, he's the product manager for Audacity and head of design for MuseScore.
Yeah, I suppose. His channel has less than 500k subs, though, so I always like to recommend it :P
Wish over simplified was still a thing. They moved to patreon for getting demonetized having videos about war.
Oh really? Was not aware of that at all. Their recent videos about the second Punic Wars were incredible.
I agree, but go to their channel and see how often they release content now vs a couple years ago. It’s like he covers one thing a year now.
True, it's been much more slow paced. Thought it was because the videos took much more time to make, wasn't aware he was quite active on Patreon.
I wish there was an actual alternative to YouTube. I believe arm chair historian is going through the same thing but I think he gets paid more for sponsors so it doesn’t affect him as much. I’m also getting tired you YouTube blurring our minutes of video when they show dead bodies from war or other visuals they deem necessary to blur. I watch a ton of ww1 and ww2 documentary’s on the timeline channel and even some of mark feltons videos are getting blurred. It’s insane.
