Seeing the other post here about YouTuber that went downhill and seeing content creators I am familiar with makes me sad. But how about those that still makes great, high quality content?
I love watching Lets Plays and HCBailly is the best let’s player. His quality has only gone up over the years and his consistent upload schedule leaves nothing to be desired. He’s under rated and deserves 3 million subs.
Lets get Steve1989mreinfo out onto a comment… nice.
Nice hiss
Let’s put this out onto a tray.
Seems like he’s been doing his thing for the entire existence of the internet. Silly little flash animations and games in the early 2000’s and now his ‘true facts’ of animals videos. Seems to keep true to his own style, ever evolving as it may be, but always similar- and maybe thats what I find comforting- he’s been there for most of the 20+ years I’ve been ‘surfin the web’, as the kids like to say.
I was hoping someone would post ZeFrank! His True Facts series is exactly what education content should be - entertaining, interesting, funny, and most importantly, rigorously sourced and credited to the real life scientists and researchers he bases his info on.
For more animal facts, check out Isabella Rossellini “Green Porno”. A little more risqué, and a different kind of humor, though interesting and educational as well. It was a Sundance thing from about 10 years ago that was semi ‘viral’ at the time.

Technology Connections
One of the most informative channels I’ve ever watched. I recommend his dishwasher video, because everybody is doing it wrong.
Been on reddit for over a decade, never heard of this channel. On lemmy since a few weeks, I keep reading about him and his dishwasher video at least twice a week.
And yes, I’ve watched it a couple of weeks ago, it is good. I’ll have to watch some of his other videos sometimes
His one about basic style rice makers is fantastic
Always knew those pods sucked for more money. He did convert me to the powder tho
He’s a big Fediverse guy, too. Very active on Mastodon.
Was going to comment this
Absolutely love him.

Love most of your suggestions but I wouldn’t recommend Internet Historian. Dude is a plagiarist at best and a Nazi at worst.
Can you explain this?
Sure, here it is. As for the plagiarism accusations look no further than the latest Hbomberguy video.
Stumpt. Despite having 540k subs, they aren’t one of the super high energy balls to the walls energy where every 5 seconds they zoom in on a small part of the video. They usually have a much more calm energy about them and one thing I really like is how they aren’t telling you to like and subscribe every few minutes, let alone at all in their videos usually.
I used to watch all their gang beasts episodes. They were amazing. Lovely to hear they are still around.
Edit: the videos are 9 years old now. Holy fuck.

He’s mastered the bronze age and is making progress on the iron age, all by himself.

Makes great visual math videos. Without him I would have never studied electronics.
Haven’t seen Summoning Salt mentioned yet. He does great videos on the history of speed running a video game.
An example video would be Super Mario Bros: The Human Limit where the difference between a tool assisted speed run and what a human is capable is discussed. And how Super Mario Bros has an interesting mechanic allowing humans to be imperfect but still able to tie a perfectly executed speed run done using essentially a script of commands.
