For me it’s DJ Peach Cobbler. I’ve been watching his videos since he had around 2,000 subscribers. Now it’s nearly 450,000.

He used to mostly make videos on games, now he does a lot of history stuff too. He also has a little satirical news show, and a few tasteful shitposts. A really diverse YouTube channel.

What’s your favorite YouTube channel that’s not a mainstream big-name like pewdiepie, mrbeast, ksi, etc…?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLfFWXUNJ_I It’s more of one playlist than a channel about quantum mechanics on Russian, but as I see it has English subtitles. A fairly clear explanation with a small amount of simple mathematics, probably the minimum that is possible. It helps to understand at least a little such a complex and illogical science for the average layman.

    Fresh from the Farm Fungi - he is a mushroom farmer from Colorado. He has a ton of valuable information on growing mushrooms and running a business. He also has a few series of videos on very interesting experiments such as growing boletus, morelles, and cordyceps.

    Microbehunter - he is a biology teacher that runs a microscope channel. His videos are very useful for learning the basics of microscopy.

    Huygen Optics - I’m not sure about this guy’s background. He worked in R&D for Phillips in the 90s and he knows a lot about optics and chemistry, but I don’t know much more. He has built some equipment in has garage for sputtering metals on surfaces and has some pretty cool videos.

    MissOrchidGirl - she is more popular than the others. She has great info about caring for orchids and a fantastic orchid collection.

    Ben Felix - he is a portfolio manager with very solid financial advice. He supports his claims with research articles.

    CGP Grey kicked me off on this intense obsession with getting rid of First Past The Post voting, but he has many other very well made videos. Cannot recommend him enough.
