Linus Tech Tips (Tech stuff)

Not really a top ten as such... I have too many subs I follow and no "top 10", not all of them upload new stuff week round, I just so happen to catch ones that do, doesn't make them top anything, just they are more regular uploaders.

But....

 

[adolf hamster]

I really don’t get YouTube. The videos have pretty poor production, they constantly beg for you to follow them, everything seems very staged, the acting is poor. Yea, I watch the odd video but I’ve yet to find anything I’d watch a lot of. A few three minute videos are grand but people are seriously giving up TV for it? I don’t get it.

/oldman

honestly some of the stuff on there has pretty good production values, at least for non-fiction stuff.

a big part of it is that you can get shows that work as a youtube channel where they can distribute to a worldwide audience with minimal effort that simply wouldn't work as regular tv.

take for example c&rsenal, i challenge you to find a tv network happy to dedicate an hour to the detailed history of the 1886 lebel.

just like regular tv or [insert streaming service here] there's some good stuff, some ok stuff, all swirling around in a big pool of absolute dross.

 

[drakulton]

How come 'Foo the flowerhorn' hasn't made it into a list yet?

They were good but then started to get too preachy rather than sticking to the facts.

Eh? Where do you get your content from then? I watch more YouTube than TV by a long way, and seeing what others reccomend is some of the best way to get new interesting content.

 

[SixTwoSix]

Off the top of my head without going through my subs, got about 250 assorted subs across youtube. I find myself watching more and more these days as the quality a lot of folks can do independently has increase massively in the last few years.

- Critical Drinker - nails a lot of my own thoughts on TV/movies
- Shiey - travelling a lot of the world and exploring unseen areas / URBEX
- The Toe Bro - morbidly fascinating ingrown toenail and wart removal videos
- Kurzgesagt - great digestible chunks of information across multiple categories
- Aculite - most chilled gamer you're ever likely to come across
- Alien Theory - massive amount of fan theory around the Alien movies
- Alt Shift X - Deep analysis into a some TV shows I really enjoy
- CB Media - guy is living my dream in Thailand
- Dytto - girl with some amazing dance skills
- Wendigoon - fun extreme horror movie/conspiracy theory iceberg breakdowns
- Dust - occasionally great short movies

 

[wildman]

Metal Jesus Rocks - retro games
Tavarish - Amercian dude that does mental car projects and rebuilds
Gamesack - retro gaming
Everard Junction - dude that started posting videos of his train layout and how he builds it - 100% worth a watch
Duncan Rhodes Painting Academy - ex GW painter
Global Cycling Network
DivKidVid - eurorack and modular synths
AudioPilz - worth it just for the bad gear review series
Doctor Faust's painitng Clinic - Warhammer and other model painting
Demis Hellem - great music production resources

 

[VincentHanna]

- Critical Drinker - nails a lot of my own thoughts on TV/movies

Critical Drinker mainly bashes Marvel and Disney, or states the obvious.

Starship Troopers was satire! What a revalation.../s

I saw that movie at the cinema when I was 15 and "got it" then.


I only have 40 subs and a lot aren't that active, but these are the ones I watch most often:

RedLetterMedia - Movie Reviews (new and old)
Digital Foundy - Games deep dives/performance analysis
Fully Charged - Electric Vehicle news/reviews
Harrys Garage - Car reviews/restoration
Explosm - Dark Humor cartoons
