It seems that everything turned into scams, aggressive self marketing and just click bait irrelevant content. I liked finance videos, but every creator sounds like "the world will end soon" or "my secret method to make 1 million per week day trading stocks/forex/crypto."

Content aimed at culture (movies/series) also behave the same way, throwing a bit of politics into the mix. Always the same incendiary click bait title spewing a bunch of nonsense that has nothing the story, setting characters or other topics relevant to the piece.

Is there anything that can be saved on that platform? It has gotten so bad that I'm start to think that Tiktok and Twitter both have better content than YouTube. At least in those platforms you can find a random dude writing an essay in a series of 20 tweets on why an increase of mantis is related to the global surge of ballpoint pen prices.

It's so well researched for such mundane items.

It's been going downhill for a long time. Popular content do the same as tv-cable network where they try to generate outrage. If the videos I watch start to change in ways I don't like I just move on which is what I think people should do. Decrease in viewership will definitely be noticed. Luckily, the creators I follow have stayed the same where they are a one person or small group who create videos to inform or for entertainment.

No, I stopped using YouTube overall.

The scams / weird aggressive marketing + politics / solutions that don't work for problems no one has... is part of it. The next part is it fails to suggest reasonable content. The last part is that video is a really, really slow way for me to absorb information. Text, please!

The are very rare exceptions. One is clickspring. Others are specific colleagues who engineer unique-in-the-world stuff (so... people like clickspring, I guess). If it's less good than that, I cannot bear to use YouTube, and refuse to post content there too.

Then again it would be really weird to show you videos of circuit diagrams and code. So it's not a great medium for the stuff I do anyway.

Anything else that looks interesting, Car histories, movie/TV reviews

[-] TheBananaKing@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I mostly just use it to find new music.

There's a couple of cooking channels I keep an eye on, a bit of tom scott and contrapoints/shaun/etc - but mainly just music.

No, I don't have or want spotify. I like music videos, and I like being able to easily skip through and sample fragments of songs, rather than just have them on in the background.

Stop Skeletons From Fighting.

Video game channel with absolutely top tier writing, production, and presentation that stacks up against the biggest channels out there, but it's from a team of only 2 people. The host is super likeable and entertaining. No low effort click bait videos. Criminally underrated with only 330k subscribers. I know that's still a lot, but they easily have 1m+ sub potential.

The "punching weight" series about ambitious and wacky titles/peripherals are my favorite. They also have some super well researched video game history videos that are great.

[-] Vuipes@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I mostly watch high elo games of LoL, TFT, Chess. like @PekinWoof, @Bebe872, @Frodan and many more.

[-] SpeedLimit55@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

If you are into fishing, hunting, cooking, and a a bit of Southwest history check out Sin City Outdoors. They have family friendly content. For outdoor recovery Matts Off Road Recovery is good and Heavy D Sparks sometimes has great content if you don’t mind fast forwarding a bit.

For food/bbq a few that I like Guga Foods, Mad Scientist BBQ, First We Feast (hot ones), and Munchies.

Lots of good tech channels depending on your interests but here are a few smaller ones I like. Matt Moniz does good laptop reviews, Brandon Butch digs deep into every iOS release, All Things One Place only reviews power adapters and cables.

[-] sh00g@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

This Old Tony, Abom, Tested (mostly just One Day Builds by Adam Savage), Wirtual, Isaac Arthur, CityNerd, Intelligence Squared debates, FloridaMan Diplomacy, Abom79

[-] Teodomo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I watch a few, but the first worthy one that comes to mind is TBSkyen.

[-] kick_out_the_jams@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Scott the Woz (video games) and Patrick H Willems (films, but leans towards action)

[-] Behaviorbabe@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Okay so I’m a nerd. I didn’t get into YouTube until recently and I just watch storm chasers, airplanes taking off, and power washing/landscaping porn.

[-] Ransom@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Sometimes before a trip I watch bad landings. Makes me feel better.

My subscriptions feed (food and science) is mostly channels I’ve been subscribed to for years now and they’ve all maintained their high quality or improved.

For food, Carla Lalli Music is an entertaining chef and recipe developer who shares recipes from her books. She takes inspiration from all sorts of cuisines and blends them into delicious, adaptable recipes. Crispy gingery ground beef like lime and herbs earned an instant spot in my regular meal rotation.

Claire Saffitz and her team bring mostly baking videos with occasion forays into cocktails, dinners, and lifestyle. Expect lots of cat cameos and fun editing easter eggs.

NYT Cooking has a good variety but their stars are Sohla and Ham El-Waylly, a wildly creative culinary power couple who can make a multi course tasting menu out of anything.

For all things science, basically anything out of Complexly Studios is worth your time. My personal favorite is SciShow Tangents. The various MinuteScience channels are great too (minutephysics, minuteearth, and minutefood ), and while the titles/thumbnails can feel a little bit clickbaity at times, the content is solid and informative.

Hey DoisBigo,

Since you're into finance videos, here are some creators I like:

Ben Felix,
Patrick Boyle,
The Plain Bagel.

Enjoy!

[-] astanix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I would recommend ChrisFix on top of the recommendations already given. Excellent videos on simple car repairs using hand tools. Even if you don't own a car or have the need to fix one, I would still recommend watching some of his videos.

[-] Johnnyari@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Anton Petrov has a great channel if you are into science and space. He posts a video every day explaining new findings in a really approachable way.

[-] melonpunk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Stefan Milo - Been really enjoying his videos "digging" into archaeology and pre-history.
