I enjoy YouTube
I watch it a lot. Ask my wife.I think, at it's core, YouTube is a great place. As with anything there are goods and bads, but I want to focus on the good. There are a few channels I really enjoy, and I though I'd share a few of them.
Ill break them down into categories for you, however a few of the channels bleed into one another. There are other channels I watch, but these are my favorite.
Give them a look.
People/Life/Vlogs
Casey Neistat - I have followed him for years. Very creative person, who shares his daily life in New York, as a creator. Beautifully put together videos. Well filmed and edited. Almost daily uploads. Semi inspirational. Very random, and I like it.AvE - A Canadian with a horrible mouth. He has an incredible amount of knowledge. He tears all kinds of things apart, tells you why they work (or don't), and then puts them back together and tests them to see if they can do what they say they can. Performs other tests as well. Very mechanical/shop oriented channel. Skookem.
Hamish Patterson - This guy is a wonder. Kind of an inspirational/good vibes guy. Californian who tries to stay with the high frequencies. Also can teach you proper bowl cut maintenance. Channel is more of a personal vlog.
Wranglerstar - Homesteading Vlog. I originally stated watching this guy for his review and usage of old tools. He does some woodworking, and other homestead like things. While he still does this, he has slowly turned his channel into a semi inspirational/life coachy/opinion vlog. He mimics Casey Neistat's form a lot, and it drives me crazy. He also has starting using click bait titles, which annoy me as well.
Makers/Repairs/Tinkerers
Cooking with Shotgun Red - Random cooking channel I stumbled across. I think I've seen this guy before, but cant place it. Cooks food you want to eat. Full recipes.Jimmy Diresta - This guys is awesome. He makes things. All kinds of things.
Primitive Technology - Very interesting channel. Young man builds huts and homes, and all the things primitive man would. He does not use anything but what nature gives him. He has built forges, weapons, tools, all kinds of things. He only posts once or twice a month. Also, he never talks. Turn Closed Captions on because that's where he does his commentary. Real life Minecraft.
Project Farm - Just subscribed to this channel. This guys tests a lot of myths car/mechanical guys toss around. He test things like the effects of certain motor oils and additives, whether or not Seafoam works, and other things like that.
This Old House - It's This Old House. Lots of videos on home repair and home improvement.
Cars/Automotive/Motorsports
84hachi - Guys has an 1984 Toyota Corolla SR5 (Non 4AGE) He works on it. I like him because he did not go the typical 4AGE route, but instead decided to work with what he had. He is currently doing a side draft carb build. He kinda sounds like Strong Sad.Cars and Cameras - a karting channel. "It'll be fine". Where I get a lot of inspiration from with my go karts.
Donut Media - Videos on the history of certain cars (Always funny and over the top). Also take the time to explain how certain things on cars work.
Jafromobile - This guy builds DSMs. While he sticks to the 4G63 engine, his approach to building and modding is amazing, and can be applied to any engine build. Very detail oriented. He hand builds all his engines, and has an old school way of doing them.
Mighty Car Mods - It's MCM. I have been with them since episode 1. An Australian car show, that originally started with basic DIY car mods, they have since moved to bigger builds. They still throw in a DIY episode here or there. They occasionally make short movies as well. I love them so much I have purchased DVDs of their free YouTube videos.
Regular Cars - an interesting car review show. As the title suggests, they review cars. Mostly regular cars. However, sometimes the episodes can get... perverted/weird. Think a "Ren and Stimpy" car review show.
Sloppy Mechanics - Take a 100+ k mile GM 6.0 out of a Van in a junkyard, reuse every part you can, and add a Chinese turbo. Get 1000 WHEEL horsepower. That's pretty much it. This guy takes the most homebrew DIY cheap methods he can to make as much HP as he can, and shows you how you can too.
Tom's Turbo Garage - another car building show. This guy's attention to detail is OCD like. It actually annoys me quite a bit. BUT. He builds some awesome cars. V8 Miata, Galant VR4, and others. He hasn't posted in awhile, but there are plenty of videos to watch.
Other/Entertainment
Air Force Proud 95 - a pilot in real life who plays Microsoft Flight Simulator. He messes with people. It's funny. Sometimes he vlogs while flying to local airports.Bill Wurtz - he makes weird music videos. Very catchy, amazing, weird music videos.
First We Feast - Food oriented. They make other videos, but the main thing I watch is the "Hot Ones" videos. They make hot wings that range from mild to insane heat, and sit down with notable people and interview them while eating them. It's a pretty great show.
Hydraulic Press Channel - this channel takes things an squishes them with an industrial press. If you fold paper more than 7 times it EXPLODES.
Seth Everman - pretty funny guy that plays the piano.
Skippy62able (LA Beast) - a nonsense channel where the LA BEAST trys to eat and drink things you shouldn't, or in quantities you shouldn't. Food challenges and other things. Pure gold entertainment.
Videogame Dunkey - hilarious reviews and opinions on videogames.
