The AliExpress thread introduced me to the world of tech videos by lovable weirdos that rarely show their faces and inexplicably all have accents and their website addresses emblazoned on their tables, they tend to be low-key and run long but they're very chill and fun even if you know nothing about electronics. Big Clive is a scottish dude who works a day job doing pyrotechnics at a stadium and then makes videos showing how cheap chinese crap can electrocute you, AvE is a foul-mouthed chinook who loves weird Canadian slang and hates corpo shills, and Techmoan started out doing relatively dry consumer electronic reviews but now makes lots of fun videos about dead media formats and odd old electronics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9as5wfHV6rk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Cp-BGQfpHQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyOKgLtUxto volts5000 posted:Captain Disillusion is awesome. The character is a cocky alien who debunks viral videos by explaining how it's done with visual effects. Then goes deeper to explain why the video can't be real and why other explanations are wrong. The best ones are: For the longest time I ignored this guy's videos because of the clickbaity thumbnails and the fact that he dresses like a villain in a cheap eastern european Power Rangers knockoff, but they really are great and all that is just something he does to try and get kids interested in science and special effects. One of my favorite things he ever did is a presentation at a science conference where he drops the Captain D persona entirely as is still really funny and engaging at explaining how and why he does everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQrzcwsGYy8

Arcade 60fps Attract Mode isn't the kind of thing you actively watch but it's cool to load up to play muted in the background at nerd parties or whatever. Retro Pals mostly does gameplay streams with live commentary which is really hit or miss, but they still archive a bunch of really weird video game-related poo poo. Especially if you like the early CD-rom era, they have a bunch of obscure FMV titles from CDi and Sega CD and weird Japan-only stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoX6UMh5wYs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iwmdDenZwo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEONTOhRIz8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-BgRXBWcc0
