    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

      Did not expect the ethoslab shout out, I fell off a while back but I followed his videos pretty religiously for many years back in the 2010s; even when I was going through times where I burned myself out on playing MC.

      Dude is super wholesome and I loved how his videos kinda just felt like hanging out with a friend. Ive checked on him since and I respect that he has not changed at all, love him dearly. But it just doesnt hit the same for me as it did back then. I hope he keeps doing what he loves as long as that’s still the case!

        Very well put, he makes an effort of bringing you along, which is a nice thing for a younger audience. I never stopped liking his relaxed style, though. His videos are one of those things I always reserve some time to enjoy.

      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 guess a lot of people on Lemmy indirectly know Tantacrul, he’s the product manager for Audacity and head of design for MuseScore.

        Yeah, I suppose. His channel has less than 500k subs, though, so I always like to recommend it :P
