Hyperspace pirate is currently working on making a cryocooler to make liquid nitrogen, out of cheap and readily accessible components. He's not done yet, but the progress videos are very interesting to watch. https://www.youtube.com/@HyperspacePirate

The only person I'd trust with finance stuff is Joseph Hogue cuz he doesn't seem to be a scummy bastard, unlike most others.
Also, I think he's the only Certified Financial Advisor on YT Link: https://youtube.com/@josephhogue
The only cultural people I follow are The Critical Drinker for film reviews and Better Ideas for inspirational content, also Nate O'Brien for both investment stuff and life advice stuff.
Everything else I follow is tevh-related, and in a niche without a lot of pushy sponsor crap.
To avoid Sponsors, use SponsorBlock.
It seems that everything turned into scams, aggressive self marketing and just click bait irrelevant content.
Oh, maybe the newest video of one of my most favorite youtubers can even answer you why that is! Introducing Tom Nicholas: Griftonomics: Why Scams are Everywhere Now

I use the ASMR channels. They're very relaxing when I read. I also watch Trixie Mattel and Katya's show which is hilarious. Today I watched one where Trixie asked Katya if she were to have a child would she send it to boarding school, and Katya said "Yes, and then I would move away", which slayed me.
Jarvis Johnson, Atrioc, Pitch Meetings, Philip DeFranco
I really thought that Atrioc was done after the QTcinderella thing. Fair play to him for giving (what seemed like at least) a genuine apology and trying to address the problem itself.
Still creepy af though, she's your friends gf and previously your roommate. I didn't know people took porn trends so seriously!

You have to find your way past the 99% commercial, screaming crap and the toxic stuff that its algorithm recommends. Adblocking or premium is a must but even then the constant in-video ads have become a cancer. Itβs sometimes unbearable and makes me unsubscribe.
YouTube is like a bowl of shit with a few gems at the bottom. You just have to dig to get there.
There are already a bunch of good recommendations here so I wonβt repeat them but:
Recently I found HowardHandsTV, pop culture analysis, very funny and feels like an old school channel.
Also Common Sense Skeptic ripping apart Elon Musk and Andrew Tate lately has been entertaining.
I also fall asleep to Michael MJD and his weird and fun reviews/projects, I think itβs the voice that is soothing.
SUSD is the only thing good on YT
Breaking Taps - Makes lab grade equipment and other wild science shit...at home.
The Thought Emporium - Genetic engineering at home.
Technology Connections - Deep dives into the tech that surrounds us.

I like McNally on youtube. He's like The Lock Picking Lawyer with the agression setting turned up to 11.
A lot of great recommendations in the tread and I don't have much to add but for something a little different, here are my suggestions :
DayDream Gaming - Cool and/or relaxing walks through game worlds like Skyrim, Cyberpunk 2077, horseback riding in RDR, etc.
dulevoz - Cabview train rides full of cool details like the number of tunnels, elevation, engine types, etc. You don't need to be a train nerd, try it, it's absolutely fantastic and relaxing!
Virtual Railfan - Live cams at famous railroad crossings, just for the fun of watching trains go by or watch the scenery
StreamTime Live - live cams at various harbours in the US
M. B. Archives - Commentary tracks from various movies (the latest being The French Connection, rip William Friedkin)
I've got a few creators I subscribe to and only ever look at my subscriptions and never at the recommendations. My YouTube experience has been pretty consistent over the years. Still greatly enjoy it, subscribing to creators once or twice a year.
If i had to pick my top 2 YouTube channels...
Project Farm
Good Mythical Morning
Is Good Mythical Morning still going? I haven't watched them in years.

Johnny Harris just released a video on the history of the Mormon Church.
As an exmormon, it is awesome to see stuff this high quality from someone with the same perspective as me. I'll link the video: https://youtu.be/hUW7j9GmXjI

It's been going downhill for a long time. Popular content do the same as tv-cable network where they try to generate outrage. If the videos I watch start to change in ways I don't like I just move on which is what I think people should do. Decrease in viewership will definitely be noticed. Luckily, the creators I follow have stayed the same where they are a one person or small group who create videos to inform or for entertainment.

I'm subscribed to Linux Tech Tips and Givemeabreakman. I've been following both for over a decade.
Other than that, I use Youtube to listen to really long (10+ hrs) videos of walking across skyrim and other elder scrolls games to relax.
