So I watched all the Analog Horror channels that was recomended in the earlier videos

ECKVA
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjkdBwVhMa6VSjlGnlmmvYw
This is what Clear Lakes 44 became, literally. The ECKVA station took over CL44 recivers and began it weirdness. There's either references or connections to Marble Hornets, but I doubt this is going to turn into a new Slenderman series. It's ongoing so no one knows whats actually going on, and what they've released is real good.

Monument Mythos
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChpTxCrmfHNYo2jkt4rR6Rw
Videos from an alternative world, presenting an interesting narrative. Though they use the same spooky thing in a video a few times that lessens its impact.

Analog Archives
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFK_a9FW9BdtumHxTLaAV_Q
Like the Minevra Alliance, its a bunch of short subject horror stories. I really like the one that's community meeting vote by phone that takes a disturbing turn,

If anyone knows any other really good Analog Horror channels I'd love to hear about them.

Remember that video contest cadbury did like 12 years ago to smash a creme egg in the most elaborate way?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrCb_fNmSTA

Joseph Herscher won with a Rube Goldberg machine, it went viral, and turned into a big fad for a couple of years, but he never stopped making them. It got him an appearance on Sesame Street, and later his own children's show, but his best work is still the ever more elaborate machines. He's the only one who ever really 'got' Rube Goldberg, imo. He incorporates weird stuff like live animals that appeared in the comic strips all the time but you never see in other machines, and everything he makes actually accomplishes a task instead of just, like, raising a flag at the end that says subscribe to my youtube channel or some poo poo

This is my personal favourite, because almost every piece has multiple functions in the machine, and also all the hosed up evil things that happen in it

/r/analoghorror is pretty much the only place I know that's solely dedicated to Analog Horror. That said, the Night Mind index (nightmind.info), run by the same-named Youtube channel, would probably be your second-best bet.

That's horrible. This is why i build my own computer from parts i get. I know i could probably save some aggravation by getting someone else to build it (I always forget to attach the power button or something really important but really small) but it saves money and also I don't trust that it will show up on my doorstep in one piece.

Seconding this, her stuff is really good. Despite the loud makeup, her content and style isn't over the top or particularly personality-based, so don't let that throw you. I particularly liked her exploration into the depths of Garfield fandom.

Some channels I've been enjoying lately:

Supervoid Cinema
Breaking down the history and plots of movies that were never made, like Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian and the many iterations of Ghostbusters III.

Extremities
Extremely well-produces videos on the most remote inhabited places on Earth, created by the Wendover Production folks.

Bentley House Minis
A woman makes spooky pop culture-themed dollhouses from scratch and walks you through every step of the process. she spent years making the The Addams Family mansion and now she's doing the Beetlejuice house.

The Templin Institute
Videos breaking down the lore and history of fictional universes—presented as if they were real. From the monsterverse Monarch to Blade Runner's Tyrell Corporation to Federation starships and Galactic Empire victories.

TheHoofGP is a channel about a Scottish cow hoof trimmer. He spends all day every day visiting farms and checking on cow's feet, and films it for us. The videos all have gross/shocker titles and the content can be graphic but he goes into the details about how/why he's doing what he's doing, and most importantly: how it helps the cow. He's VERY into making sure cows and bulls are in no pain.

He's a little long winded and tends to ramble but has a lot of interesting stories of his time in the mob and reviews of mob media.

He basically started the channel during lockdown in March last year and the early videos are a little rough but he's sort of turned more into a chat/podcast kind of thing where he gets actors from those shows and talk about it all.

May I request some calm/relaxing/soothing YouTube channels? To get the ball rolling I'll post some that may or may not have come up already.
  • AUNZ RAILFAN: Videos of train rides in Japan. Kinda fun to see what small towns in another country are like.
  • Drachinifel: Naval historian (or maybe just a nerd) talks about old warships and warship adjacent topics. War history may not sound relaxing but in practice it's someone giving a mildly interesting lecture while showing old black and white photos.
  • Rambalac: Someone who goes for walks in Japanese cities with a nice camera. Bit of a trend here I guess.
  • Bob Ross: I'm serious. Most folks may know Bob Ross more from parody than his TV show these days but if you've never actually watch an episode from start to finish without distraction then give it a shot. He helped millions of granddads nap on the couch over the years. He also really does say stuff like "happy little trees" all the time though. They weren't exaggerating about that part.

This guy is such a knucklehead. He managed to burn down one of the buildings pretty early on and he does a ton of incredibly dangerous and irresponsible poo poo like getting himself lost in a snowstorm in the mountains and exploring decrepit old mine shafts with minimal safety gear or knowledge. I fully expect him to die but I can't deny there's something compelling about his channel (probably the fact that he's such a knucklehead).

It seems like he at least realized how dangerous it is to explore an old abandonded mineshaft while alone.

Also, I'm somewhat confused whether he owns the property or not. He keeps on talking about the owner of the property, but has also said he owns it at times.
