i am talking about the best ones suggest video name , channel and a description. Some of my recommendations are nile red , vsause and sometimes ididathing.
I’m a big fan of any of 3blue1brown, his videos are university level math explained and visualized extremely well.
I’m A Very Big Fan
I’d add “@WelchLabsVideo” to that. His series about neural networks and imaginary numbers (though 8 years old) are so enlightening.
Can’t believe there’s this many comments with Technology Connections being listed.
He somehow became known as the Sunbeam Radiant Control Toaster guy
Nawh, I deffo can believe it.
Folding Ideas
Clickspring - An Australian horologist who not only builds clocks from raw materials by hand, but his series on the Antikythera mechanism is a must see. He actually added to the historical knowledge about it. Plus he has one of the most soothing voices on the planet.
Steve1989MREInfo - Not only the history of military rations, but culinary critic also. And who among us isn’t fascinated by watching someone open and eat a 175 year old ration on camera…
ANTI-CHEF - Watch a normal Canadian person attempt recipes from Julia Childs and other Micheline Star Chefs in his New York City apartment. Complete with sirens and his failures.
Stand-up Maths - A more irreverent look at mathematics then Numberphile
NES Hacker is a newer channel that explains low level programing in the context of retro games. Easily one of the best channels I’ve seen for this stuff.

Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan
His latest series starting with San Francisco Streets is fantastic. It’s filled with great interviews, stories, and information. Andrew does an excellent job of storytelling while being humane I thought.
He’s a modern Louis Theroux (Who also makes banger documentaries)
Lemmino,
The Why files
Whatched some of his videos and they are solid
If you like Nile Red + I did a thing, you’ll probably like the Safety Third podcast. It’s hosted by William Osman and a bunch of other YouTube scientists
Lemme add: breaking taps, thought emporium, and nighthawkinlight.
Folding Ideas is my favorite channel, but since someone else already recommended that, I’ll also recommend Thomas Flight. He’s a film nerd, but its all really beautifully explained and he also puts a lot of effort into highlighting things that he likes. His video “Why do Movies Feel So Different Now” was really enlightening.
I’ve seen some of his analysis videos and agree they are very well done.
Practical Engineering has a lot of civil engineering videos explaining how a lot of the infrastructure we rely on works/was built.
He uses a lot of well filmed practical demonstrations in his garage to explain the concepts.
Really Great Guy and Great Videos, he ist definitly a reason I choose an engineering career

A few channels that lie around a specific topics I can remember:
- jc : A professor at IITK, has highly informational videos for aspiring students in the context of motivation and studying for examinations.
- No boilerplate : Videos on increasing productivity and the occasional rustacean (programming) shilling.
- Ryan Chapman : Mainly long format information rich video essays related to politics/political systems and how they came to be.
The topics they cover are highly specific and cater not that large an audience but the quality of the content is quite c.ommendable.

I have a couple, completely unrelated ones.
alex lennen - Great channel on comic books, especially Marvel. Presenter is also really funny and full of energy.
BobbyBroccoli - If you’re at all interested in academia and science in general, check him out. Really nice information presented in a visually pleasing way.
lambdaxx - Super niche, but if you like the game EU4, he’s probably the best one to watch to really get better.
M. Laser History - Great channel on medieval European and Slavic history, with some forays into other periods. Great quality overall.
Tasting History - Cooking show with a history segment. Overall nice quality and you learn a lot.
M Laser is top notch - not a large library of videos but quite well done.

everyday astronaut has some extremely in depth videos about space and rockets, order by popular and go!
Not particularly useful in every day life though.
FortNine
Mostly motorcycle related info.
I love NakeyJakey, Sage Rain, ThorHighHeels, and Jacob Geller. They mainly talk about games and stories with a few random videos here and there and they do an excellent job at making hours-long entertaining videos with lots of passion for the topics they cover.
