What do you like, and why do you like it?
Is it topic specific? Or do you just like the host or hosts, and dig on pretty much what ever they say
I think I've posted enough here to let folks know a bit about what I like. The list is currently @ 35. There are about 10 that I'll watch on any given week though.

I looked at my sub count and was really surprised to see that it's grown to over 90 over the years. A few of them aren't even active accounts anymore. I wonder if they just quit or if they were banned or something.
I've got a few categories I watch regularly. Mostly political stuff, movie and TV reviews for movies and shows I'll probably never watch, science/math related channels, computers/tech and video game related things. I watch a lot of DIY stuff too, but usually only things I'm trying to learn because I'm going to do it myself.
I know we've talked a lot on other threads about it and which channels we like and why, but not a bad idea to share them here. I'm always up for finding more. I kind of feel like I'm running out of stuff to watch that I like right now.
Rather than just throw a list out there, I'll probably pop back in here from time to time to add a new one with my thoughts.
But for now, Ryan George. 'Nuff Said.

Wow... that's a lot. One of my earliest subs was a channel called Red Earth. I picked up with these confessionals of a sort, vlogs, of a girl who was working in LA, living by herself, didn't know anyone... it was all part of a bigger story. She was a character, and I shortly bailed on it. The video is still up ,but the channel is long since inactive. No idea if it was just some film study or what, but the girl caught my attention. - LOL.
Funny to circle back and check in on some of those early channels. Some are still active, and wow, the people have changed. Grown up , married.. it's weird. But good on them for sticking with it. YouTube is so vast now, there are huge 'stars' who I've never heard of, who do quite well with their fanbases...
Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen
I'm just a red pill guy in a room full of blue pill addicts.

Yeah. I wasn't around much in the early days of YouTube. I think it was already 2015 when I ever even signed up for an account and actively watched anything. Before that I only ever watched videos somebody would email me or look up music videos from bands I liked.
I think it's kind of funny when you consider how many subs different channels have compared to each other. I know some channels that make some of the most mindless content, even if it's pretty entertaining, that have 1 or 2 million subscriptions or more. Then I also know some criminally underrated channels who are struggling with only 10 to 50 thousand and I can't figure out how they don't have a million already.

I guess I'll start the list then...
Filed under DIY and Consumer Reports:
ProjectFarm:
This guy is excellent, and it's no surprise that he has over 1 Million subscribers today. I found him when I had already fixed the oil leak on my car and I was looking for ways to flush out my entire system for better performance. I ended up sticking around once I realized how many videos he had already made and how often he puts out more. Not only are many of them extremely informative and could help you make better choices when buying a product, but they're also extremely inventive.
I'm not sure if it's him exclusively, or if by now he actually pays a staff to do so, but I've never left a comment on his videos that he hasn't replied to, and some of those videos were already a few years old. If nothing else already had been separating this great channel from other similar channels, this is a fantastic level of immersion and a sense of community that is fostered here. Nobody else I've ever subscribed to who has a fanbase larger than 10-50k even seems to attempt to do this.
This site is a Must Subscribe for any DIYer, anybody who enjoys somebody destroying engines and tools by putting them through ridiculous trials they'd never see in a normal lifetime, or even anybody who ever wondered how much better Gorilla Tape was than standard Grey Duct Tape.

Filed under Film, Commentary/Reviews:
EDIT: I changed the videos for both of these.
Georg Rockall-Schmidt:
Sometimes you just want to watch somebody who's intelligent doing some in-depth commentary on movies and genres, instead of some edgy hot takes. Georg makes this possible without coming off as pompous or elitist, and makes it interesting enough to stick around. The dry humor is also appreciated.
Although I'm happy to see that he's gone above 200k subscribers from the sub 50k when I first started watching him, he's highly underrated and deserves a larger audience.
What is Anti-Logic:
Criminally Underrated. This channel would be the definition of that phrase. At 50k subscribers now, it's about 10 times the size that it was when I first started watching, but this guy puts so much thought into lore of movies and poses some riveting theories on topics like "Why Does Jeepers Creeper Kill?" and why everybody in the movie A Quiet Place is "Too Stoopid To Survive".
Quality over Quantity is the name of the game here. With only 35 videos uploaded in the last 2+ years, this is not a guy who is sitting there trying to pump out four 10-minute videos per day with clickbait thumbnails. You can tell that he really puts a lot of love into them.

I like several, Zebra Corner, Ryan George who also does Screen Rant's Pitch Meetings. Also Voxis Productions and Lindsey Ellis is brilliant, and of course...Doomcock. There are also many automotive and sci-fi channels I like but are too many to list. I also like the channels with trains hitting cars and trucks...maybe I need help

All I know about HP Lovecraft is Cthulhu and he seems WAY ahead of his time. Certainly doesn't seem to have anyone in his time approaching the stuff he was writing.

Did you watch it?
Yeah. His stuff is pretty terrifying. It's a shame that his prose is so hard to sit through though. You have to be pretty dedicated to actually read any of his stuff. That's why I'm still hoping for some good movies or TV shows based off of his work in the future.
Also, I wanted to make sure that you guys are getting the fact that I'm posting one video per channel recommendation. Should I change the font size and bold it for the channel names?

Yeah, watched the posted vid. I think I've got tons of respect for HP but to be honest, his stuff isn't for me.
I fall more ( ok, totally ) into the Tolkien camp. I don't even bother w C.S. Lewis, so it seems going to the other extreme, Lovecraft, is right out.
Props, but no... not for me.
