Also I didn’t think it was a small channel but apparently he only has just over 1m subs: Karl Jobst, he mostly covers video game speedrunning achievements and cheating https://youtu.be/AFrQ1_2bbsI

CGP Grey kicked me off on this intense obsession with getting rid of First Past The Post voting, but he has many other very well made videos. Cannot recommend him enough.

Notable runners up:

Steve1989MRE (let’s get this channel out on the tray)

JoergeSprave (“welcome to the slingshot channel” evil genius laughing)

Campingwithsteve (for info on how to be homeless more effectively)

My husband recently found this gem of a cooking channel that we both love. Chef Jean Pierre He’s hilarious and the food looks amazing.

Kyle the Scott. A Scottish cisman with a kinda effeminate voice who once did a dramatic shirt rip to prove he is in fact cis, in the middle of a half hour essay about why it shouldn’t even matter and “transvestigations” are bullshit.

But his normal schtick is media criticism, covering franchises like Star Wars, Halo, and Assassin’s Creed. They’re just genuinely good reviews that aren’t afraid to get into the politics where appropriate (including explicitly rejecting some of the more popular bigoted takes) but honestly feel it’s about the way that particular lens affects the media, rather than being an end into itself.

Matt Brown - security researcher and bug bounty hunter

Robert Murray Smith - general mechanical engineering tinkering, lots to learn

TheCod3r - console and other electronic repairs

Wesley Kagan - builds cars but is just an overall genius and entertaining

Joe Grand - hacker, genius

There are more popular/sometimes better people and channels in each genre but I’ve stuck to those with under 1 million sub’s. I’ll assume people like Colin Furze, Ben Eater, Computerphile are already too well known for this thread
