Inspired by this post but the other way around. Which channels (any subject) do you think have stayed true to their beginnings and are still worth watching today?

My pick would be Gamers Nexus.

Everything by Jupiter Broadcasting. Not really a YouTube channel, but they stream there.

I quit listening after the meltdown that caused Noah to leave Linux Action Show. That was an amazing podcast while it was running.

What meltdown? I was deployed and came back to find him gone. He's been on since then and they were perfectly amicable. Or do you mean lunduke?

Legit Street Cars - just great high quality and extremely consistent.

Dawid does tech stuff - guys just funny as shit.

Red dead restorations - absolutely amazing how consistent he's restorations are truly talented.

LSC as a car-tuber is just such a gift. No click bait, no rage bait, no being a dick in his cars. Just a love of vehicles and working on them. Him and Doug DeMuro are like the only thing keeping me sane in the car community since all the others turn to super cars, buying insanely expensive stuff, and just constant environmental shitting and debauchery. I know my cars aren’t great for the environment, but the way other car-tubers just open pollute and destroy the environment is disheartening.

I feel like Ethoslab deserves a mention. He’s basically making the exact same great fun Minecraft videos as I, a grown ass man, remember from my literal childhood!

Post10.

11 years of posting videos. No politics, no ads, no culture war bullshit. Just camping videos and unclogging culverts.

[–] El_Scapacabra@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 days ago

Post10 is so wholesome. His enthusiasm for everything he sees and does always makes me feel calm and happy.

Good Mythical Morning/Mythical Kitchen.

They've maintained their high quality since even before YouTube and they hosted their own content.

Same with Cinemassacre (James Rolfe aka The Angry Video Game Nerd's channel). Er... If you can consider purposely being low-quality for B-movie nostalgia as actually high quality 🤔

I have subscribed to a few skateboard channels that I have followed for a long time. Not because of the tricks, because quite frankly, these guys are not the best skaters, but they make good content for old skaters like myself who don't care much about the latest tricks.

Ben Degros. Perhaps better known for his other channel The Vancouver Carpenter. Well, he's also a skateboard product connoisseur, who can smell the difference between different presses of deck concave and wheel sizes.

Jon Bishop. An old fart from UK who started skating at an old age and walks through all the basics and thoughs of beginner and intermediate tricks.

And obviously: The Skate Nomad. Mike Boisvert. A (relatively) young Canadian dude who quit everything and set out to live the dream of skateboarding in every country in the world, while couch crashing at locals the entire way. It's interesting to see the differences and similarities in cultures world wide from this perspective.

A channel that's missing here which I personally really like is TimeGhost history and their other channels World War Two and The Korean War. Their coverage of world war two in real time (which they finished already) was especially great. I'm not necessarily the biggest history nerd, but there's something quite enjoyable about following history "live" this way.

The Wonky Angle for IDM/electronic music coverage

Gtrippin for trip sims

Badempanada for anti-status-quo takes

Jacob Geller for video game content with a touch of breadtube

[–] Thalfon@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Cracking the Cryptic would be my top addition to the list. Daily solves of quality human-set variant sudoku puzzles and weekly cryptic crossword solves.

Many A True Nerd for gaming, History Buffs for historical accuracy in movies and timmmm, a small channel of which I'm still surprised it's so small because his videos are really well produced.

Tom Grossi. I'm not an NFL fanatic but his videos are well written and very entertaining. No sponsors or mid-video ads.

Ailaughatmyownjokes. Silvia wanted to name her channel "I laugh at my own jokes" but someone else had it, so she just added an "a" to the front. Very funny stuff. Lots of shorts if you're attention span is dead. Like mine.

Adam Savage and Xyla Faolin have been mentioned and I agree. The PBS channels also.

pReview'd. They do movie/TV reactions and just started producing a travel show. Two besties watching stuff and having a good time.

Coy Jandreau. Total comic book nerd.
