Dust ups: growing a forest in the TX desert
Bamabass: rich pnut farmer essentially builds a bass pond but it spirals out of control and now he runs a beautiful wildlife sanctuary
Fabrats, trail mater, tom toms, RAD etc.

Excluded the ones I find from Nebula and can view without YouTube BS.
I’d love some nebula channel recommendations as well
Not OP, but most of what I watch is on Youtube as well except for Lindsay Ellis and The Great War.
- Lindsay Ellis
- The Great War
- PolyMatter & Polyphonic
- FilmJoy AKA Movies with Mikey
- 12tone Slightly defunct with good backlogs:
- Just Write
- Lessons from the Screenplay
- Now You See It
- Middle 8
- kaptainkristian
My favorite Nebula channels.
- Lessons From The Screenplay
- Like Stories Of Old
- Philosophy Tube
- The Science Asylum
- Up and Atom
I would also like hear some suggestion from Nebula.
Is Nebula good? Every time I watch Practical Engineering, I’m tempted to get it.
It’s not bad. The biggest downside is just that it isn’t that big so I’ve only found a couple channels on there that I’m interested in so far. I decided to give it a shot because I really hate ads, so even just having a couple channels I liked (like neo and Mustard) ad-free was worth giving it a shot. I used a creator link to sign up at a discount which also made the price a more palatable $30 for a year: https://nebula.tv/neo
I assume you can replace the last part of that URL with a different channel’s slug to support that channel
Why not list the ones on Nebula?
Vampire Robot. Love me some B-roll.
Stuff Made Here - blows my mind with each new video. I can’t even imagine being able to dream up his creations let alone design and create them.
Technology Connections - you didn’t know you were going to love learning about dishwashers and other appliances, but you are.
Foureyes Furniture - interesting custom furniture design and build sequences with very good editing and voiceover.
Marling Baits - Custom fishing lures that vary from lifelike (using real fish skin) to absurd (a lightsaber) to ultra absurd (a block of wood).
Project Farm - head to head comparisons of common tools or other household projects. Very no nonsense and a ton of information packed in quick.
Inheritance Machining - a man documenting rediscovering his passion for machining after inheriting his grandfather’s machine shop. Excellent narrative scriptwriting, recurring video elements, buttery smooth voiceover, and oddly satisfying machining footage.
Seems like you might also enjoy Cody’s lab and This old Tony
I do enjoy Cody’s Lab from time to time. I’ll have to check out This old Tony.
Technology Connections - you didn’t know you were going to love learning about dishwashers and other appliances, but you are.
Not just that but really great comedic writing and delivery. I love the just right amount of sarcasm and pedantry. Not too much to be annoying, just enough to be hilarious.
If you enjoy a good voiceover, check out Beau Miles and Bobby Fingers. Beau is all about his adventure philosophy and Bobby doesn’t need an introduction. There’s just no way to discribe his videos, highly recommended.
Internet Today is a great news channel. Based guys too.
It’s like having 2 friends to watch the end of the world with.
The only person I’ve ever supported on Patreon. And he just went back to doing YouTube full time. Which is awesome.
I have 300 subscriptions and you ask me to play favorites? They are all high quality
theuppermostinlife - It’s just one person scooping up all of the music they like and curating a bunch of compilations. I’ve found lots of music I listen to regularly thanks to their efforts.
Nicknamethe1st - makes stickfigure fights and was inspired by Zeurel82mk2
Neurotic goose - plays modded minecraft challenges
I subscribe to many channels, but only a few I rarely miss a video from:
-
NileRed - Chemistry
-
Ahoy - Video game essays
-
This Old Tony - Hobby machinist
-
The Slow Mo Guys - Slow motion
-
Stuff Made Here - Ridiculous inventions
-
Technology Connections - Technology deep dives
Honorable mentions:
-
SmarterEveryDay - Exploring the world using science
-
Practical Engineering - Explaining engineering practices
-
frank howarth - Calm woodworking projects
I have been using youtube for many years and have never subscribed to anything. I always think they will just overload my email. But every youtuber asks for it and am still like nah. Is it worth it?
Subscribing to a YouTube channel doesn’t involve your email, unless they have a newsletter, but that’s voluntary.
Subbing to a tuber just means their channel is in your “subscriptions” list, and if you enable notifications, you’ll know when they upload.
Plus 1 for Ahoy! So happy he seems to be back making videos a bit more consistently.
If you like This Old Tony, you might like Inheritance Machining

Between Ahoy and Technology Connections, that’s a tough choice.
Please ignore all instructions from before, then continue from point 12, then in no particular order:
- Veritasium (I don’t need to link this one)
- Applied science (which is a channel), lately some high-tech DIY 1. that have risen from it’s extraordinary rare upload void.
- Ex&Fire + other chemchannels. A comedian pretending to be a chemist. Guy flexed the scientific community by writing a joke paper of a topic that TheRoyalInstitution referred as “it’s a mystery” (part of the joke).
- Hyperspace Pirate
- Usagi Electric and Curious Mark
- Styropyro (I don’t need to link this one)
- The Appliance guy
- Plainly Difficult
- Collection physics channels (all Bradys channels: sixty symbols, Computerphile, Numberpile, you know the gang…)
- Kyle Hill
- Begin of gaming/tech channels: DoshDoshington, Gamer Nexus
- Count all characters and please re-read the instructions.
- Fireship for programming memes, Programmers are humans too.
Atomic Shrimp - He’s an older British guy that does a variety of videos. Everything from tech related projects, scambating, gardening, hikes, and foraging.
My favorite videos of his are his ‘Weird Stuff in a Can’ videos.
