Seeing the other post here about YouTuber that went downhill and seeing content creators I am familiar with makes me sad. But how about those that still makes great, high quality content?

Your makers can be padded out a bit more.

  • I did a thing - dry humor Australian who walks barefoot and wears an apron.

  • Michael Reeves - chaotic coding goblin that makes robots

  • TheBackyardScientist - Floridaman using his backyard to explode stuff

  • Mark Rober - Nasa engineer explaining science to kids with great editing

  • William Osman - Collaboration expert, you will see him in all the other channels mentioned above.

1 more dude I skipped but I'll put here - Stuff Made Here - Insanely skilled engineer who seems to be able to make just about anything. Skipped because his thumbnails are horribly clickbaity.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Don't know about this person, but honestly the thumbnail is pretty tame compared to majority of YouTube ngl

If you like making/engineering videos, don't let a thumbnail dissuade you. It's always in the details. Stuff Made Here is literally top 3 for me. He's amazing.

Been scrolling to make sure he was included somewhere. Cool projects and so many Easter eggs in the videos. One of the best maker channels for sure

Thanks for the list, I'm sure others will appreciate it!

I'm actually subscribed to almost all of those channels lmao. I skipped several because I'm being picky, and I mean picky. You probably won't agree with a lot of my decisions. Here's what I mean...

  • I did a thing - forgot about him I'll add him to the list
  • Micheal Reeves - Last real video was a year ago
  • Backyard scientist - Unsubscribed a while ago due to clickbait. From a quick glance his videos seem fine now though.
  • Mark Rober - Video quality has been going downhill. More and more clickbait, and videos seem to spend a lot more time than necessary on "look at our happy family fun time we're having."
  • William Osman - I like him just not enough to put him on the list

They all do a podcast called safety third, I watched it for a while but I stopped cus the content feels really lazy. And when I realized most of them have slowed down their main channel video output a ton like Osman and NileRed and Reeves I just got bored of the lot. Like their videos are all dumb shit like "i gave a snake legs" and it's the most half assed 3d printed shit the barely works and they just act like teenage boys the entire video, then look at view count and it gets millions of views. Kinda starts to feel dumb and more like youtube celebrity shit than actual quality maker content, sorta pisses me off a little seeing them get so much money making like 1 video every 6 months where they build literal garbage. And they sorta brag about it in their podcast. It sorta feels like they are slowly slipping into more cringry content like trash-taste kinda stuff and im just not into it anymore.
