Happy Landfill posted:Recently made an effort post over in the RGD Online Creators thread that I think might fit pretty nicely over here. Sideways has sadly been dormant for about the last two years, but he's still got great content. His channel is an overall examination of music theory and music in soundtracks, but if you enjoy examinations of musical theater, he has some good ones comparing the movie versions to their stage musical counterparts. He does have a tendency to talk kind of fast, so you may want to try setting the video playback to 1.75 speed. Why the Music in Cats (2019) is Worse Than You Thought Why the Music in Les Miserables (2012) is Worse Than You Thought How the Music Spoils Sweeney Todd (and why that's a good thing!)

Sideways is A+, I also highly recommend his stuff. I really hope he gets back in to it soon, but understand getting burned out doing the youtube hustle, especially since I think he was dealing with some one cribbing his stuff dor their own videos

Sideways would be twice as good if he yelled half as much. That overly exasperated angry thing he does constantly is unwatchable for me.

This channel just showed up in my recommendations and every single short stop-motion animation I've seen from them has both been incredibly made and fun. robot chicken this ain't https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-3Z5RWgjLQ&hd=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JI33wqqRaq0&hd=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7feorNiof8&hd=1

I wouldn't say Tribal People Try is one of my favourite youtube channels but it's definately worth a watch. It has 4 people, sometimes with special guests, trying food from all around the world. It's fascinating how they react to something they have never seen or tasted before which most people in the west would think are mundane. Watch them eat Mac&Cheese Recently they even started to travel with the earnings they made from youtube. For one of them it was his first time on an airplane. Youtube recently demonitised them from reasons they are not sure of. Likely some stupid copyright thing. To whatever company did that, this is free advertisement, you know? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVxsdSpF7eM&t=71s

If you like your cooking chaotic and (sometimes) successful, I recommend ANTI-CHEF. He has a series called Jamie & Julia where he cooks through a bunch of Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. He has other series too, such as Jamie & Chef where he cooks recipes from Michelin star rated chef cookbooks, and Cookin' Around the World - recipes from around the world, natch. He's charismatic and partially airheaded, so it's quite entertaining.

Crossposting from the PYF cryptozoology/conspiracies thread, British Cryptids 1974 is a youtube channel which creates fake 1970s documentaries about cryptids and world mysteries and for the quality of videos they've been producing they're criminally undersubscribed and deserve way more views. If you like old 1970s/80s shows about paranormal mysteries like In Search Of... and Arthur C. Clarke's World of Strange Powers then they'll probably float your boat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEALe-3CUCk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgGEJFUwReI

I found this one a couple of weeks back and it has become my chill zone. Itchy Boots is a channel from this absolutely great Dutch woman who decided the 9-5 of being a geologist was not for her, so she brought a motorbike and has been traveling around the world ever since. She is relentlessly positive and generally very cool. https://www.youtube.com/@ItchyBoots

Crossposting from my own post in the History and Educational podcast thread:Thwomp posted:Can I recommend history youtube channels here? My favorite old Dan Carlin podcasts were the Mongol series and I recently found this History Dose channel that has a similar vibe. It's two guys: one historian and one artist. The historian writes the scripts and the artist provides custom illustrations.

Music reaction videos are usually more miss than hit, but I did enjoy these guys, View from the 502 and their reaction to one of my all time favorite songs, "Year of the Cat". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tm7YVh_V-50 Watch them lose it at the 7:45 mark when the song goes into the extended solo part. The guy on the left really loves the sax. Mister Kingdom has a new favorite as of 01:53 on Jul 28, 2023 |

Programmers Are Also Human. Basically this guy makes videos that are funny, about programming, crypto, IT culture etc. Interview with an emacs enthusiast in 2023: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urcL86UpqZc The videos own description: quote:Pete has awaken from an Emacs coma and attempts to learn User Interface design by surfing the web. On his way he comes across many well-designed, purposefully slowed-down, colourful recipe websites that teach him how good and modern UX webdesign needs to be like. It needs to resemble an orchestral piece: It needs to have tension.

I'm not sure why I'm even recommending this, but here goes: The Why Files Surely a lot of you have had a crazy uncle forwarding them emails about Illuminati lizardmen living at the center of the earth, where they control the weather remotely. That's this guy, I guess I'm kind of amazed at just how credulous this guy is. He's like the Art Bell of youtube. He seems prepared to believe anything about faces on Mars or time-travelling federal agents or whatever. Admittedly the production values are quite good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rih9-80p0Ec https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0n1Q0CV-3A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laXhTcko-lg Accompanied by a wisecracking animated fish named Hecklefish.

I got some recommendations to make: TheRasteri makes videos about creating retro technology and repairing DJ equipment. fjamie013 takes photoshop fix submissions, and instead improves them. Beyond Ghibli is a channel dedicated to Japanese media (ie. anime, manga, video games, et cetera), but instead of being reviews they're just recommendations for where to start. FooneTuning is a channel for doing the absolutely weirdest things with hardware. Treasure (Re)Creation Channel is a DIY channel who does restoration of all manner of various things, and then (unlike most other DIY channels) use the restored objects to make something with. J. Kenji López-Alt is a SeriousEats chef who sometiems cooks for himself, sometimes at night. Archipel does documentaries about Japanese artists and craftspeople. SoloTravelJapan travels around Japan on ferries, trains, and even planes, alone. Lady Emily is the editor for Sarah Z, and does media analysis. Tom7 / Suckerpinch commits computational heresy and publish papers at SIGBOVIK, the association for computational heresy. Laura Crone does some media analysis, but also touches on acting and stage plays. Also, I'd like to touch on something from a few years ago: twistedmentat posted:Yup, it's kinda gross. From what I gather is if you're bisexual you should never marry, because that cements you as choosing one sex/gender. I guess you're supposed to be single and just looking for hookups? I'm not going to look to deep into it because how someone identifies themselves and how they choose to express that identity. Which makes me wonder, are there content creators who talk about this sort of thing?

Just a Few Acres Farm is a small farm growing pasture-raised chickens, turkeys, pork and beef in the Ithaca, NY region. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUEIE2GRp4o The host, Pete, is basically everyone's dad, terrible dad-jokes included. Generally cheerful and friendly, works hard, very smart and knows his business well - pay enough attention and you'll learn a thing or two. Occasionally dips into the philosophy of an aging small-time farmer, but does his best to avoid politics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLLFieFfL-s Pete likes to spend the winter, when farming is slow, indulging his passion for Farmall tractors with detailed top-to-bottom rebuild series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbS7_fE6mWI And of course, there's just something very Zen about cutting and baling hay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf9GywcopPE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn-ruaP0luU e.

Cactus posted:[Dr. Angela Collier stuff] Thanks for this, great channel. In a similar vein, you should check out Dr. Fatima, an astrophysicist speaking on systemic problems in academia and broader society. Specifically this video which I stumbled upon when doomscrolling (SA included) was really getting to me, and it gave me a good jolt. Also it got me to read The Parable of the Sower. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NCSY85FqVQ And in no particular order, some channels i like and don't think have been mentioned already: Chad Chad A commentary channel in the style of Danny Gonzalez and Drew Gooden, shorter form and pretty funny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGqy_gcuCgM Ryan Hale A polyglot who does omegle and travel videos. Chill and heartwarming content. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgzpVLD4ju0 The Katering Show IMHO the funniest show on youtube, surpassing even Sex House. Two aussie comedians named Kate who really deserved more recognition. They just made a TV show called Deadloch which I also recommend, a murder mystery set in a rural Tasmanian mostly-lesbian village. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J55vgxNaaBY New Zealand Today A comedian doing investigative reports on random stuff in NZ. The videos often go in unexpected directions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlu0foF3WBk Numberphile Educational math videos with various topics presented as interviews with a wide cast of mathematicians. This is one of my favorite videos, a beautiful exercise of the principle of circle inversion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sG_6nlMZ8f4 MrStillSmiling A criminally underrated channel, IMHO. Regularly uploads his "A film in 3 minutes" series, short form reviews of often less known or cult movies, many of which I discovered through this channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOKq8wRuch8 Mustard I suspect most goons know this one, beuatifully visualized documentaries about civil and military transportation projects. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVdH_dYlVB8 tomatoanus Videos of speedruns with detailed commentary about mechanics and technique. All scripts supervised by the runners themselves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23_1uqeLCGE

Please share your favorite minority Youtubers. I realized recently that the vast majority of who I follow are cishet white men algorithms pointed me at and seemed interesting in some way. I would rather not have pop culture commentary, cooking channels, music channels solely dedicated to covers in X style, media reviews, or vlogs dedicated to someone's day-to-day life unless that life is something not common. The only channel like that I follow is Tom Pemberton Farm Life, for example. If you think something is worth being an exception to these, convince me.

PBS Voices on YouTube has a few shows I watch, I just found out they got a new one called "Dead and Buried" which looks good, I'll give it a shot. The algorithm probably recommended because I'm subscribed to "Ask a Mortician" who has done some dives into black and queer burial in the USA. Death to America!
