For me it’s Skallagrim. This is a channel of a guy who specializes in ancient armory and weaponry, he also reviews swords and stuff that’s sold online and tests them. Pretty cool.
But then I started to not like him for some reason and it took me a while to put my finger on it. Until I saw the video where he tried criticizing weapons in video games. Then that was where I found problems with him as a channel.
His personality comes off very pretentious and one of those pseudointellectuals you know, who try sounding smarter than they really are. He even has the voice tone to back that with.
So yeah I really once loved his channel. Though whenever he goes on tirades about things that are meant for fantasy purposes which aren’t supposed to make sense when translated to reality, as well as try to poke at fictitious things that borrow from ancient history, I feel he misses the plot of his entire channel and why people like me once subscribed to it.
We didn’t subscribe to your channel for your stupid takes on - anything. We subscribed because you seem to know your melee weapons and historical backgrounds of said weaponry. Stick to those.
Are there any good science/education channels left? Veritaism, smarter every day, Kurzgesagt all seem to have fallen off. Didn’t like Johnny Harris from the start.
3b1b, perhaps?
Depends on what exactly you’re looking for. Technology Connections, Steve Mould, ElectroBOOM, Practical Engineering, Hank Green’s various enterprises, Cody’s Lab, and the various “mad scientist” types like StyroPyro, NileRed, and the various people William Osman hangs out with.
Technology Connections is brilliant. You truly learn something when you watch his stuff.
I know it’s his brand, but it’s mostly useless stuff that you learn. His recent video about 8-tracks was fascinating, but I can’t imagine a single scenario where that info will be useful.
That said, I still recommend it to everyone.
Tech ingredients is really good too. The anti drone laser, radiant cooling, and various diy evaporative cooling projects especially. Homemade hootch too, but I tend to doze off during those.
They also got better during the pandemic, instead of worse, like AvE and some of the bigger channels. And have had some good protester related experiments like protecting from microwave and audio type police dispersal weapons.
Me getting a 1 hour long crash course on dishwasher powder (I do not use dishwasher powder) and enjoying it
I saw a great comment that he really enjoys boxes that make things hot/cold/wet/dry
A great channel that ive been really enjoying is alpha phoenix. His old videos inside his crystal growing lab are super cool. I’d recommend air tight vs vaccumn tight that was cool
so, just scrolling through my subscriptions. this isn’t a list of just science channels, lots of maker/diy stuff in here, but sometimes there’s videos from those channels that overlap with the topics the more educational-type channels might have

also shout-out to Hunter Direction for just making amazingly beautiful videos lately, the algorithm delivered him to me recently and holy shit does his newer stuff just tickle me in exactly the right spot
yea i follow some science channel, mostly around biology, paleontogy, not huge influencers. im not “fluent” in physics content so i barely follow those.
All of those are still pretty good, honestly.
