Livestreams of installing Linux and ricing the desktop. It's like c/unixporn but longer and better. The buildup into the final result would be way more satisfying than just a still image.

I want modern Marvels to be revived. Not an easy task as that show had tons of interviews and behind the scenes type footage. Closest we've got is practical engineering which I aslo love.

He pulls apart cheap electronics to see how well they are built and how it could be done better or how dangerous the item is. Sometimes there is the occasional Will it Sodastream to cleanse the pallet of electronics.
One video had a camping lamp that bridged mains voltage to the metal casing so if you touched it while charging you for a nasty shock.
Thank you for the recommendation. I'm trying to find what is worth watching on YouTube and this looks entertaining
Nothing really, YouTube is not really interesting anymore.
I uae youtube like a podcasting site nowadays, i only use it to listen to in the background
Other than a music video here and there, or an affinity designer/photo tutorial I cannot find anywhere else, I largely ignore YouTube.
I miss matpat's golden era of Game Theory, back before it because fnaf lore the channel. There was a genuine level of creativity and earnestness to everything he made and while I desperately wanted to like the new hosts, they feel hollow and the content is shallow. I would watch a thousand sans is ness videos over another "it's another analog horror project!"
Same for binging with babish, it went from earnest cooking channel that made you confident in your abilities to "I ate food in places you can't afford"
Cenefix got bought out by IGN and now it's just advertising.
Above all else, I would love an SCP reader that does them in order and explains the finer details. The Exploring Series is my absolute favorite because he actually goes back and explains the details, gives small blurbs when another scp is mentioned so you don't have to go look it up and guess why scp-#### is mentioned off handedly in scp-####. Unfortunately, he does the same thing everyone else does and only reads the current popular entries. There are thousands of entries that have never been looked at publicly, someone should cover them.

Thirteen years ago, this small youtube channel made imo very high quality meta comments about literary stuff and video games on youtube. (starting with the mass effect 3 ending and why it's bad)

Everything from low quality text, to selection of music, footage and the literary content is just... so good. And they're a comfortable 10-20 minutes each.
But I am also not sure if after he did what he did, there is really that much to say. The important part of that work is mental work and writing, and it will take forever to make even a single video.
