I went through my subscription list on FreeTube and filtered these out (the list was much lengthier initially :p)

Alt Shift X — well detailed and narrated videos about fantasy series such as Dune, ASOIAF.
Captain Disillusion — very well made videos about VFX.
Computerphile — computer science twin of Numberphile; neat videos about the field with a wide range of guests.
EthosLab — pretty much the only Minecraft creator I still watch; witty, quiet and virtually the same for a long time.
hbomberguy — well known video essayist, easily one of the best in the platform
Jacob Geller — another quality essayist, exploring different themes, such as horror
Lemino — very well known creator focusing on mysteries, with incredible narration and stunning visuals
LockPickingLawyer — very simple, to the point and informative channel about locks and lockpicking; also virtually unchanged for years
Oversimplified — great overviews of major history events and periods, with funny narration and visuals
Tantacrul — fairly unknown essayist on music, with well researched material and nice takes :P
Then & Now — possibly my favorite atm (alongside hbomberguy); extremely well researched and presented video essays about history, politics and philosophy; very underrated imo

Wish over simplified was still a thing. They moved to patreon for getting demonetized having videos about war.

Oh really? Was not aware of that at all. Their recent videos about the second Punic Wars were incredible.

I agree, but go to their channel and see how often they release content now vs a couple years ago. It’s like he covers one thing a year now.

True, it's been much more slow paced. Thought it was because the videos took much more time to make, wasn't aware he was quite active on Patreon.

I wish there was an actual alternative to YouTube. I believe arm chair historian is going through the same thing but I think he gets paid more for sponsors so it doesn’t affect him as much. I’m also getting tired you YouTube blurring our minutes of video when they show dead bodies from war or other visuals they deem necessary to blur. I watch a ton of ww1 and ww2 documentary’s on the timeline channel and even some of mark feltons videos are getting blurred. It’s insane.
