There was a thread about niche YouTube channels, but it doesn't have a lot of traffic and honestly this probably doesn't belong in that thread. I am looking for more Youtube channels that are informative and do historical videos on certain segments. I know there channels like Crash Course about general history, but more into the history of smaller subjects like the examples below. A few of these were probably posted over in the Niche thread, but here are some example channels that I follow:

Bright Sun Film does a number of videos about abandoned buildings, companies, and other outliners (recent video about Split Second 2). There also videos on exploring said abandoned buildings that are neat to watch with some history attached to it.

Classic Gaming Quartlerly, one of two channels I follow that do history of video games. CGQ tends to focus more on what the launch of the console and first years were like, along with magazine videos that paint a picture of the times.

Gaming HIstorian the other histor of video game channel that focus more on events and game series.

My Life in Gaming, while not really about history like the others, does go into detail about topics on game consoles and retro gaming in general. They also have videos about game subjects like the history of Night Trap.

Pretty sure this is goon made, but Poparena makes a lot of great videos about the history of Nickelodeon, going into detail on each show. They have other content on the channel, but I admit that I not watch any of it yet.

Techmoan, a channel that goes into a lot of old technology, talking about the history of the product and trying to get it working in modern times.

Toy Galaxy, it usually about reviews of certain figures or latest stuff he got in the mail, he also does short videos on various old toy lines.
