    Not counting music, I assume - I have a gazilion artists I love if anyone’s interested.

    As for actual Content with a capital C:

    • PhilosophyTube Extremely interesting, well-researched and entertaining presentation of a wide range of philosophical and sociopolitical topics. From the UK.

    • Shaun Ditto, though with a different angle and a Northern accent.

    • Contrapoints Ditto, but American and quite a bit more… theatrical. Quite a strong focus on gender and transgender issues; check out her video on J. K. Rowling for one of the best treatments of the topic.

    • Dr. Geoff Lindsey - Linguistics and phonology stuff, deep dives into pronunciation, fascinating as fuck.

    • Middle Eats Really damn good middle-eastern cooking channel, no-nonsense presentation.

    • Brian Lagerstrom - Baking / cooking - good recipes, sensible treatment.

    • J. Kenji López-Alt of Serious Eats fame - damn good cook, nice guy.

    • Tom Bates Creator of Nigel and Marmalade. Dumb, stoopid, awesome.

    • Adam Millard - The Architect of Games - video essays on gaming

    • Noodle - very funny animated video essays on gaming

    • Ice Cream Sandwich - stoopid funny little cartoons about dumb shit.

    • Jaiden Animations Animated little essays about stuff, she must be protected at all costs. See for instance Things about Relationships I wish someone told me about.

    • Tom Scott has finished up his Things You Might Not Know series, but there’s like a decade of them and they’re amazing. Little investigative videos on everything from programming to wasp farming. You need to watch all of them.

    • Taylor Tries Videos on juggling. I have the hugest talent-crush.
