I watch Wendover Productions and Half as Interesting, as well as RealLifeLore. I listen to channels like Be.Busta and Lazy masquerade, which narrate scary stories. I also watch numerous Dash cam Channels that all have "Bad Drivers Of" series, My favorite of which is Bad Drivers of Albuquerque.

I regularly follow three channels: AmbuChannel 112, an ambulance-dashcam channel from the Netherlands, Bad Drivers of South Carolina, a dashcam channel from South Carolina, and Monica Church, a vlogger who grew up very close to me (otherwise, I'd have no interest, as I don't give a shit about clothes and home decor). I don't really use YouTube to follow users, I much as I use it to find content that's related to other content.

Haven't watched either before, but after watching a couple videos, they seem pretty funny! I've seen PoliceActivity videos before, but not because I follow the channel. Their videos just popped up in my "suggested" list.

Not a series per se, but I mostly watch videos by a group known as the Sidemen, a British gaming group consisting of seven members (although only five consistently game as of now). All seven members have more than two million subscribers apiece, while two of the seven have more than 10 million subscribers. Games they play include FIFA, GTA 5, Golf It (mini golf), and Fortnite Battle Royale. There is a lot of banter that goes on in their gaming sessions.

Knowledge Hub - similar style as CPG Grey, Wendover Productions etc
Nerd(cubed) - computer game reviewer. I don't give a shit about gaming, but this British guy is funny as hell and I especially like watching his Rollercoaster Tycoon and Planet Coaster series, as well as his reviews of simulators.

I watch a lot of roadgeek YouTube channels (with the ones I watch the most being BigRigTravels, CrossCountryRoads, and Freewayjim), and road videos take up a pretty good percentage of what I watch on YouTube.


But aside from that, I watch a lot of things on YouTube that have to do with Social Studies (Geography, History, Current Events, etc.), Gaming, and videos that just make you die laughing, mostly regarding the "dumbest people on the internet."

Regarding 1), I watch a lot of Wendover Productions, Geography Now, RealLifeLore, AlternateHistoryHub, and more.

Regarding 2), I watch a lot of stuff, but mostly PeanutButterGamer, Chadtronic (heavily based on both gaming AND reaction videos to some pretty funny stuff), and Nathaniel Bandy.

Regarding 3), I watch just about anything regarding the dumbest people on the internet, but what I watch the most is probably the Dumbest Tweets series by MostAmazingTop10. That stuff is just hilarious. You see stuff posted on the internet with people holding huge brown rats thinking it was a cat, people saying stuff like "told me cousin he got me pregnant as an April fools joke, he was scared af," "yay, the test came back positive so I don't have HIV," "somebody told me there was 50 states in America, nope dumbass, cause the scientists found out Pluto doesn't exist so there's 49," and more. There's also other funny stuff I watch like DangMattSmith's "Funniest Test Answers" series. All that stuff is comedy gold.  :-D  :-D  :-D

If anybody wants a high-quality example of a video showcasing dumb people on the internet, here is one (skip to 1:00 for the rat):

https://m.youtube.com/watch?t=30s&v=J9rCm_FP6XI

:rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :banghead:  :banghead:  :pan:



Also, I too, absolutely love and watch the new, rising channel Company Man. He makes excellent videos on companies and business and the sort. His channel is actually and has been growing at an incredibly fast rate, and he definitely makes high-quality material. I watch his channel all the time as well.

I haven't used YouTube to watch any roadgeek videos...well, excepting old FHWA and state DOT videos that occasionally get posted (if we consider those "roadgeek videos" ).

Out of curiosity, I took a quick look at FreewayJim's channel, and his videos all appear to be through-the-windshield footage of driving on highways. Is that the extent of it? OK...I'll give him some credit: the footage looks to be well-shot, and he puts some effort into adding graphic overlays.

But is that what passes for a good roadgeek channel? If so, I don't get the attraction. Flying down freeways at Munster speed so that everything's a blur–except for a horizon that slowly creeps toward you–doesn't make for rewarding viewing, in my opinion. Nor does it scratch any of my roadgeek itches.

What would make a good roadgeek channel? Really, all good video is about storytelling.

If you had a historical focus, you'd dig through old maps and aerial photography, old photos, newspaper articles...whatever you can find. Then you'd add footage you've shot of the location in question, tell the story visually, and write a narrative that ties all of the pieces together. Imagine something like one of Adam Prince's blog entries (http://surewhynotnow.blogspot.com/2017/12/the-new-pa-48-unbuilt-eastern-allegheny.html), but expressed through photos, maps, video, and narration instead of text.

Or if your focus was more regional and current, you'd take photos and video of a local road under construction, interview a representative of the state DOT, add relevant images from project plans and maps, and tie it together with a narrative that brings viewers up-to-date on what's happening.

Along these lines–but in the realm of electronics, not roads–the best YouTube channel I've found is Techmoan (https://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan/). This unassuming guy in the UK will get his hands on some unusual orphaned gadget from decades ago, give the backstory on what was going on in the electronics world when it was conceived, document his struggles to get it working properly, show how it works, then wrap it up with an assessment of the gadget's place in history. He obviously writes out the narrative carefully for each episode (with good measure of sardonic humor included), but it never comes off sounding stilted or staged. Production values are very good, almost TV-like, but actually within the grasp of a savvy person with a basic minimum of equipment.

Same here!

Don't really watch any other YouTube series except for Dan Bell's Dead Mall Series (and his "Another Dirty Room" series back when he still posted those on YouTube prior to the Adpocalypse) and a few online reviewers. Most of what I watch though tends to be train, railroad crossing, or tornado siren videos, a good 99% of which couldn't really be considered a series.

Pecos Hank (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAQpSHsgUcNt6uCOjpgD8kw), a storm chaser, nature photographer, and musician. His storm chasing videos are incredible.

ElectroBOOM (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ0-OtVpF0wOKEqT2Z1HEtA), an Iranian-born electrical engineer who builds stuff. A little technical, sometimes, but the knowledge isn't needed to enjoy his content.

Finally, Doug Polk's poker channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyI7FNTudkyALBh9N7hwI9Q). Probably a little specialized here, but if you enjoy poker and understand the basics, his hand breakdowns (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFZTVU_cpCnsE_KqKYjAE132HywfN1vrt) are fantastic.

I'm subscribed to hundreds of channels, but here are a few I watch regularly:

VIDEO OPTION CHANNEL (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCryItMG5CX-iF_7OzRTn9SA) - YouTube outlet for the video side of the Japanese drifting magazine Option, mostly old D1 Grand Prix events, but also other Japanese car culture content.

Noriyaro (https://www.youtube.com/user/noriyaro) - An Australian drifter living in Japan, lots of excellently-shot videos about various aspects of Japanese car culture, and POV drifting videos.

WhatCulture Gaming (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvO9Xk3bheuxEemvknCj72g) - "Top 10" style videos related to gaming, as well as gaming news and humor, etc.

The Slow Mo Guys (https://www.youtube.com/user/theslowmoguys) - Excessively high-end high-speed cinematography for comparatively pointless subjects. Also features Gavin Free of Rooster Teeth and Achievement Hunter, both of which I also used to watch pretty frequently, but I've slacked off in recent years.

Regular Car Reviews (https://www.youtube.com/user/RegularCars) - Irregular reviews of regular cars. Probably NSFW.

Please, feel free to watch the whole video, but that is where the start of "Sorry, but you're SOL regarding your traffic problems!"  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

While I have this thread, here is a Modern Marvels documentary on America's Super Highways (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIhnYZEt_Cw)!

For the inner roadgeek in us all! (The whole forum?) Hehe, I know! :bigass:

I'm now waiting for the 2018 season of the Appalachian Trail hikers. They should be starting by mid-February. I follow a few of them on their way North from Springer Mountain in Georgia, and I usually go with the faster, eventually arriving at Mount Katahdin in Maine by early August.

Already in with this. This time I started following a couple hikers already in early February. One is now at Erwin TN, and the other at the Fontana Dam in NC.

I watch Foor Your Success every now and then.  I love his hiking Videos.

I'm pretty sure his fix is "get everyone in self-driving cars".  Actually, his REAL fix is probably "get everyone in airplanes" ;)

Surprised there hasn't been a mention of Kurzgesagt here. It's a really interesting youtube channel with rather captivating videos on various topics, primarily science, although sometimes philosophy and other topics. They only upload one video a month, though, but that's the tradeoff for how good their videos are. They explain some really interesting and complex concepts like string theory and quantum computing in cartoon animation. If you're ever curious about something and want to know more, it's a good channel.

Recently started watching the channel FIlmCow.

I started with "Llamas With Hats"

"Whitey's gotta pay.  And that payment is baby hands."



Then I moved on to "Charlie the UNicorn"...



And "Detective Heart of America"





And then "Detective Heart of America: The Feature FIlm"  This is batshit insane, and I loved every one of its hour 16 minutes running time.

FilmCow's Charlie the Unicorn was a thing back when I was like 8 or 9! That was the shit! Where have you been? The most memorable episode was Candy Mountain.

I remember being absolutely obsessed with Charlie the Unicorn as a little kid, I wouldn't ever shut up about it. I would take my father's phone and watch it wherever I went... Why??

I just got around to reading this thread.  I'm assuming you watched Reddmage and Early Riser 71 last year.  I really enjoyed watching both of their hikes.  I have yet to find a good southbound channel.  I'd really like to watch someone complete a hike that direction for a change.
