Default What's in your YouTube subscriptions?

The Big Guns for entertainment- Slow Mo Guys, Corridor Crew, How Ridiculous, Mark Rober, Taskmaster

"Hmm, that's interesting" stuff - Tom Scott, Vox, Vsauce

Things I like - Liverpool FC, U2, Sigur Ros and some channels who upload Irish/UK TV

And then onto the more esoteric stuff -

Joolz Guides - cheeky bowler-hatted London chappie gives interesting tours of London

John Rogers - almost the polar opposite of the above channel, as it's very low key and relaxing, but it's essentially the same thing except with long walks through the outer areas of London rather than the city centre.

Geoff Marshall - train nerd. I'm not into trains (I enjoy travelling in them, but couldn't tell you one type from another) but I like watching his journeys to far flung stations in the UK.

Cruising the Cut - guy drives (?, sails?) his canal boat throughout England. I have no experience in this but I daydream about doing it. Another super relaxing channel, I got into these when the lockdown first hit last year and I needed something unchallenging.

Steve Donoghue - professional book reviewer talks about books. Super opinionated and occasionally ornery, but also extremely, extremely knowledgeable.

Anybody watch Camping With Steve? Dude's YouTube channel is Steve Wallis. He's an Albertan that goes camping in random places. He's a lovely guy and I can watch him for hours. He's my go-to right now.

Car Stuff: The Straight Pipes, Savage Geese, and Doug DeMuro, although I'm getting pretty tired of Doug and I don't particularly like exotic cars, so he's not my favourite lately.

I believe I was recommended a few of his videos for a while and watched a couple. He was sleeping in his SUV in an airport parking lot, and behind the town sign in Camrose (?), right? Fun videos.

I recently cut down on subscriptions to just the ones that I'm actually interested in seeing almost all of their vids. Too much uninteresting filler from most channels

Guns: C&Rsenal, Forgotten Weapons. (Gun nerd channels. History and technical info only, no politics)

Cars: ChrisFix, ErictheCarGuy (Car repair focus, both will do interesting miniseries going over a specific car or build)

Sports: AC, Spittin' Chiclets (AC self-explanatory, love Spittin' Chiclets golf vids)

Interesting: History Buffs (Historical movie reviews) OverSimplified (simple history) ErikJohnston (Aerial photography, aircraft walkarounds) Rick Beato (Music)

I'm getting mad just thinking about their stupid faces, their stupid voices, their terrible attempt at comedy and their awful reviews.

I like to hunker down and watch his videos now and again. He's been tripping around southern Alberta for the last few weeks. My wife couldn't understand how I can watch him for hours. She watches with me now! She even surprised me and ordered a hoodie and t-shirt for me a couple of weeks ago. Good wholesome viewing.
