Great list! I have a lot of overlap so here are some of my additions:
RedLetterMedia - movie and series reviews and shows, usually with s lot of snark and cynicism
The History Underground - history videos, mostly war / ww2 related topics, with a lot of on site visits
PBS Space Time - Physics and astronomy videos, complex topics sometimes on the verge of being too difficult to follow for most mortals, very interesting!
Hot Ones - interviewing celebrities while eating increasingly hot wings, amazing host, great questions.
CuriousMarc - restoring and fiddling with vintage tech, famous for rebuilding an Apollo spacecraft guidance computer
Ben Eater - building computers and in depth explaining the components using breadboards, super interesting stuff!
Everyday Astronaut - spaceflight and engineering, very in depth videos about various rocket engines
Like Towan - building model railroads and dioramas with great detail
Primitive Technology - a guy building huts and shacks and stuff with only self made tools, no voice over. classic!
GxAce - photography and equipment related videos, incredible production quality with a cyberpunk themed twist
3Blue1Brown - beautifully animated math videos
SmarterEveryDay - engineering related videos
EC Henry - Star Wars and Star Trek themed videos about models and ship lore
Finally someone mentioning dunkey
This comment is almost as good as Knack 3
Nexpo is also a good mysteries channel
Really like Jacob Geller. I think his video essays are worth watching even if you're not into video games or haven't played the specific game he mentions (some videos might have spoilers, but usually there's a warning about that).
Just wanted to add DIYPerks to the list because he makes some cool stuff
Great list, I follow a lot of the same channels! I'd add EmpLemon and Bright Sun Films if you don't already follow. Solar Sands is exceptionally good.
