Viva La Dirt League, their skits are still good as a decade ago

Steve Wallis. He is an all around great down to earth guy. He does stealth camping and regular camping.

Andrew Camarata and Foresty Forest are one of the few no-bullshit YouTubers that I know of who simply focus on making good content and nothing else.

EDIT: Steve Wallis and post10 aswell

GoodTimesWithScar ... if you enjoy Minecraft content the dude is a beast, so talented ! and also funny and entertaining

Knowing Better Dude does amazing deep dives into topics that's we should know more about that explain things that are a bit controversial.

I still get excited when I see a notification for Applied Science after several years. Breaking Taps doesn't miss, either. They both do really interesting stuff.

Perun is making great videos about military economics and light geopolitics. High quality, powerpoint presentations that are 1 hour long. He is knowledgeable and tries to be as factual as possible(though because of the nature of his videos, it is often difficult to find hard data). And more importantly, while he is pro West/Ukraine, he is pretty objective in his analysis.

Well, after looking through, I saw that some of my favorites are not on here.

Kraut: makes well thought out video essays on politics, history, culture and everything in between. He also tells you his reading list that went into making a particular video.

Adam Something: bit of politics, bit of urban planning, bit of shitting on Elon Musk, bit of shitting on stupid ideas.

The Great War: started in 2014 doing week by week of the first world War, 100 years after it began. Now is doing a similar series on the second world War.

The Operations Room: breaks down historical military operations minute by minute, incredible level of detail.

Korean Englishman/ Jolly: Josh and Ollie a couple of British guys introduce korean food to people and on Jolly they go get into other foods and hijinks

Townsend: showing what life was like in early colonial America

The Dungeon Dudes are always solid if you want DnD content. Even their episodes where you wouldn't expect great talking points they somehow pull it off.

Hey all! Scott here

ZeFrank

Welp, there goes several dozen hours or more of my free time.

A lot of the old "Golden Age" League of Legends content creators have moved on to making really good content about other topics and games. Basically Dunkey and everyone who was at one point accused of being a Dunkey clone lol

Dunkey obviously still makes content and it's still good. I've never personally been a huge fan of the short length goofy one off gag style of his but I know people still really like his content.

Skooch does miscellaneous other games now (mostly Mario and sonic lately) but the content is the best it's ever been

Bricky does Warhammer mostly but also makes long form analyses of big AAA titles that are sequels to franchises from the 360 days

Keyori (now Barny/Maddy) rebranded, transitioned, and now makes literally the best World of Warcraft content I've ever seen

FrostPrime streams I know but I think his YouTube is literally exclusively just stream VODs now.

Outside of that group I still get a kick out of Game Grumps 10 years later but I know the old school let's play thing isn't really for everyone. Also Alpharad still makes good content, though lately it's been a lot of mid, sponsored or otherwise kinda forced out stuff.

I feel like Markiplier keeps improving, over time his videos have cut out a lot if padding and fluff that was the standard in old school let's plays, but it's not a smash cut fest like some newer youtubers are.

He also is diversifying his mediums, like the movie that he's currently making (not a "youtuber movie", an actual movie adapted off the game Iron Lung).

The only real controversy of his that I can think of was when he stood up for PewDiePie when he said the n-word. Mainly because they were friends. With how many years he's been going I'm surprised there's not more.

Berd, danooct1, Huggbees, Hugh Jeffreys, Michael MJD, NileRed, Ordinary Sausage, Sam O'Nella (barely), Tapakapa

At least that's what I find great.

MrMobile(Michael Fisher) - His video presentation skills 10/10, I specially love his series named when phones were fun, where he fondly talks about yesteryear phones and gadgets.

Harald Baldr - I may not go to all the places he goes, but the way he interacts with different people irrespective of the barrier of communication is commendable. The way he presents himself in his videos, I believe that's him in real life as well. No fakery.

Bobby Fingers. Drunk Mel Gibson has quickly become a classic amongst my friends.

Probably one of the most creative and talented makers I have ever had the pleasure of coming across. Every single thing he's done has been fucking hilarious to boot.

Nothing to add here, but wanted OP to know I saved this post for all the good info people are giving.

Wendigoon, he doesn't post as frequently as a lot of others but his videos are like an hour long and he researches the fuck out of a subject. He did one about the unabomber recently that he had to break into a two partner because one part was just an hour long interview with the lead FBI investigator on the case.

Kurzgezagt - In a Nutshell

acollierastro — Angela Collier

Astrophysics, science communication and random rants

Would like to throw in Atomic Frontier, he makes on-location video essays about random science and engineering topics that are edited with great supporting infographics

• Kathy Loves Physics & History. I like that she stays in her lane and hasn't deviated from electricity and history.
• freecodecamp, each video is a course that's several hours long.
