SciShow and their other channels are rather informative in many subjects.
What are you looking for? Taskmaster
I like baertaffy, and his football show 3 guys and a bear talk about football.
Puzzles and chess Cracking the cryptic, chessnetwork
Videogames skootie, Northernlion, juzcook, ryukar, freak and geek, let's game it out and real civil engineer, pangaeapanga
Food, epicurious and binging with babish, protocooks with chef Frank
Skit shows, afk and deerstalker pictures
Trivial content did you know gaming, mental floss, lock picking lawyer, watch mojo, caption disillusion, taskmaster
Science, stand up Maths, Sabine hossenfelder, Scott Manley, Professor Dave explains, PBS spacetime, 3blue1brown, electroboom, Steve mould
Talk/Interview shows, first we feast, Mundo, good mythical morning, taskmaster
Random shit I recommend: zefrank, taskmaster (seriously try taskmaster!!)
That’s a great list. I think you may have missed thabeast and barberousking in your Mario section. Also, if you like taskmaster, you may enjoy Would I Lie to You?
It's not on YouTube (officially) but if you can find Qi somewhere it's an amazing show
Qi used to be on YouTube, some channels even had the xl versions! If you listen to podcasts check out the Qi elves weekly hour long show "no such thing as a fish"
I love would I lie to you, but the YouTube channels with it are a bit sporadic. Discovered it after watching Lee Mack be an old man on taskmaster, if there's a good channel for getting fresh episodes that'd be wonderful info.
Thanks for the Mario recommendations, I think I've tried the beast once I'll give them another shot, barberousking (that's not "barbs" is it?) I've not heard of, I'll definitely check them out.

Internet Comment Etiquette with Erik
It really depends on what kind of content you want to consume. So I'll categorize some of my favorites.
Funny/Comedy
Official George Carlin YouTube Channel
Informative
Asianometry - "Video essays on business, economics, and history. Sometimes about Asia, but not always."
The B1M - Videos about constructing buildings, dams, canals, city areas, traffic tunnels, etc.
ColdFusion - "This channel aims to let you experience the cutting edge of the world around us in a relaxed atmosphere. Learn the captivating stories about how our world came to be and also learn what's happening in the cutting edge today."
DW Planet A - "Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change."
Long Form
Theo Von - This Past Weekend w/ - He runs a podcast that isn't really like anything I've seen/listened to before. His podcast runs as a freeform podcast. Meaning that he has people from all kinds of backgrounds and statuses come on and they talk like they are hanging out. They don't really have key points that they 'have to get to.' It's more free-flowing and gives you a feeling like you're getting to know the person across from Theo Von.
Steve-O's Wild Ride! - Podcast - A wilder podcast and topics than Theo Von's podcast, but they share a similarity in actually getting to better know the person next to them.
Kristen Dirksen - "Videos about simple living, self-sufficiency, small (and tiny) homes, backyard gardens (and livestock), alternative transport, DIY, craftsmanship, and philosophies of life."
Second Thought - "Second Thought is a channel devoted to education and analysis of current events from a Socialist perspective."
I have plenty more to suggest if anyone is interested. And of different topics or types of content. Ask away.
I would not recommend Second Thought. I watched his "alternatives to capitalism" video and he offered no alternatives, just a constant rant of "America bad". Personally I think he's a tankie masquerading as a socialist
