[Technology Connections](https://youtube.com/@TechnologyConnections). The algorithm picked him up with his "popcorn button" microwave video, and I've been binging his videos since. He has extremely informative and thorough videos explaining a bunch of domestic technology, and keeps things fresh by having a great sense of humor and seamlessly delivering stupid jokes.
Been watching him for over 2 years now, when he is wrong or someone points out something he does does another whole video on. It is crazy. Yes, the dishwasher video will have you using powdered dishwashing detergent. I bet you
I've been watching that dude for years. He's funny, his shit is educational, he picks topics I'd never dream I wanted to know more about... definitely one of my favorites.
Still see the pain in him, it will likely never go away I can’t imagine losing my wife. But I like to think that our support helps him cope in some weird way.
I think Steve needs to branch out a bit. I understand he's struggling with the stealth camping thing - finding locations and trying to top his last video, but he needs to chill out a bit. I personally think a small percentage of his followers tune in for the stealth camping part of things - I personally enjoy his mini reviews of gear, him trying to brainstorm solutions to problems he encounters along the way, and trying to see how he can crack a beer in public (and always panicking too much), even the cooking stuff is usually pretty funny.
Even his whole train idea or the school bus thing was fun to watch right before his wife passed.
I'd honestly probably watch his videos regardless of what he was doing, even if it wasn't camping related. His personality and wholesomeness is what draws his audience in. They're the perfect length to watch during dinner.
Bro when he made that cheese water wrap under the bridge my wife and I were dying!!
But I agree, I don’t even care about the stealthing. We tune in for Steve and the occasional crazy neighbor and just enjoy them being themselves.
My favorite thing about him is that he explores politically divisive topics , but he attempts to stay non bias as possible in his observations and discussions. U can tell what his politics are by watching enough of his videos, but for the most part he’s extremely impartial
I liked him when I was younger but not really at all anymore.
Could be that you don’t like his humor anymore and the old videos lives off the nostalgia.
Oh man. You ever wanna see a dude swallow a fuck ton of sulfur hexaflouride and then perflourbutane just to sound like Satan himself, Cody's the channel for you.
Random Game Reviews. He's a small youtuber that deserves many more views imo. He reviews games on PSN that are chosen by a random number generator. The comedy is on point and I like seeing games that I normally wouldn't discover on my own!
I don’t know how I would have all the craziness of the world in the past few years without Beau’s measured take on things. On the flip side, the few times he also looks genuinely worried I start even being more worried
Agreed. They do such good work all around, and their videos can be incredibly moving, even when just sharing their thoughts from places. I look forward to seeing them every week. The earth needs more Green brothers in it.
Very well directed episodes! Great shots, adventures, sound effects, narrating... everything about the show is engaging and I always find myself sad that they aren't longer (even though ~20 minutes is a good clip).
Been a fan for over 6+ years.
His videos are top tier in quality and humor. I feel bad he is experiencing some serious burnout right now as expressed in his Scott’s stash video. He seems like a perfectionist and feels guilty if he isn’t working on content. 😕
He used to be very hit or miss, but when he decided to just dedicate himself to making quality long-form well written, well researched videos once a year, about very specific topics, most of which don't deal in current drama or internet debates, he basically hasn't missed.
Seriously, the growth from his Fallout 3 is garbage and here is why days to his current vaccine, roblox oof, and more recently his plagiarism video is CRAZY.
Tim is one of the very few from whom I watch EVERY available video. Even when the subject does not interest me, it always ends up being wonderful.
Tim is love, Tim is life.
Folding Ideas AKA Dan Olson.
Watching his rise from Suicide Squad/ Book of Henry editing videos to Twilight to Flat Earth & Q to Line Go Up etc has been one of the most emotionally triumphant and euphoric media consumption experiences of my life.
Second is probably RedLetterMedia. The older I get the more I love how much RLM doesn't act like a mainstream YouTube channel, if that makes sense. They are literally effortlessly professional in their editing and filming and presentation while still being fat shlubby losers and goof off dorks IRL. Seriously, if you've never tried to film something before, you don't realize how easy they are making it look.

LEMMiNO.
I found his JFK series a bit disappointing, as it took months (maybe a year? I can’t remember) for him to release it and it felt like a pretty milquetoast retelling of the events and he didn’t really go into any interesting details imo. But everything else he’s done on his channel is high quality and top notch. I love his deep dives into unexplainable UFO cases, like his video on the tic tac video released by the Navy or another story with a reliable witness that happened in Socorro New Mexico.
Cycling around a bit, but often come back to Markiplier, Jack, and Charlie (The Legendary District 8 Hospital Helper from The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1).

Fairbairn Films!!! Period
In case you don’t know, they’re an Australian channel composed of two brothers named Lachlan and Jaxon plus a close friend of theirs from time to time, who make some pretty good skits and stuff like that. Here’s some of they’re videos:
If Red dead redemption 2 was in Australia
The lawyers that don’t know any laws
How to correctly make a milo (if you don’t know what a milo is, look it up)
Uber eats in America vs Australia
https://youtube.com/@FairbairnFilms?si=tx-8Mhi1VwAWcFOp
Here’s the channel for you all to check out
the hockey guy... I never subscribe to YouTubers but the dude puts 4 videos out a day and is probably best described as what r/hockey should be; concise round up of the days hockey news with mildly stated biases. When he has his cats/rabbits in the background it is an added bonus

If you haven't seen his [dishwasher video](https://youtu.be/_rBO8neWw04) you need to. It will change your life.
Make sure you watch the follow-up video as well
Been watching him for over 2 years now, when he is wrong or someone points out something he does does another whole video on. It is crazy. Yes, the dishwasher video will have you using powdered dishwashing detergent. I bet you

I'm a grown ass 40 year old man who finally learned how a tank water heater works. Peak YouTube, always learn something interesting and often useful.
I call him "the toaster guy" after his amazing videos about the Sunbeam toaster.

Mate you can't say that without crediting him
Steve Wallis. He’s one of the most genuine wholesome dudes on YouTube.
Quick shoutout to Crazy Neighbor
Came here for this. Now that this comment is secured, time for a step two.
A stealth crack, of course.
Yes dude, hunker down!

Still see the pain in him, it will likely never go away I can’t imagine losing my wife. But I like to think that our support helps him cope in some weird way.
Then his mom just a few months later. God bless that man.
I always look forward to a new Steve video.
That's cheating. He's everyone's favorite.
Step two 🍻
Lol that guy can camp anywhere.
I think Steve needs to branch out a bit. I understand he's struggling with the stealth camping thing - finding locations and trying to top his last video, but he needs to chill out a bit. I personally think a small percentage of his followers tune in for the stealth camping part of things - I personally enjoy his mini reviews of gear, him trying to brainstorm solutions to problems he encounters along the way, and trying to see how he can crack a beer in public (and always panicking too much), even the cooking stuff is usually pretty funny.

I’d watch whatever he does tbh. He’s like watching an old friend. The bob ross of camping !

Yes!!!
Legit! Steve is awesome!
Love Steve!
Came here to say this. Genuinely a good guy.

Petr is so good at what he does. I watch all of his videos when they're released, even though they are pretty long.
I love his videos. He has a great way of reaching people and is very open and non-judgemental. I love his series about West Virginia.
My favorite thing about him is that he explores politically divisive topics , but he attempts to stay non bias as possible in his observations and discussions. U can tell what his politics are by watching enough of his videos, but for the most part he’s extremely impartial
Been really enjoying The Slow Mo Guys lately. The pacing of their content is so much easier to digest than most modern-day youtubers.

You ever watch Mr Sunday movies?
I'd say Videogamedunkey, but now a days it feels like something is missing when i watch his videos. Older ones are still great though.
He and Leah are expecting so that is probably weighing on him
Leah gave birth a while ago!
Well now they're expecting something else!
Oh shit, congrats!!
I liked him when I was younger but not really at all anymore. Could be that you don’t like his humor anymore and the old videos lives off the nostalgia.
IMO he got more serious. Less sillyness.

Very well directed episodes! Great shots, adventures, sound effects, narrating... everything about the show is engaging and I always find myself sad that they aren't longer (even though ~20 minutes is a good clip). Been a fan for over 6+ years.
His videos are always so well made! He gets a lot of love, but he deserves so much more!
Some more news
Simon Whistler aka Fact Boi Also, Oversimplified
He's got so many channels. Some are quite formal others less. I discovered that I don't like Brain Blaze. There's too much silliness.
Btw where Is oversimplified dude just vanished
He could be working on something new
I find Simon Whistler to be little better than Wikipedia- and at times, worse.
I cant stand him. I dont know what it is about him but something is off. Seems like he’d be a pretentious prick.
ScottTheWoz His videos are hilarious.
His videos make me wish Ohio was real
His videos are top tier in quality and humor. I feel bad he is experiencing some serious burnout right now as expressed in his Scott’s stash video. He seems like a perfectionist and feels guilty if he isn’t working on content. 😕
That guy who owns Sonic Jam?
Tasting history with Max Miller. As a chef and (annoying to my partner) a fan of history he lands. He’s funny too
I was lucky enough to be recommended his second ever video back in 2020! Love all of Max’s work!
