This is more inspired from the Brave Wilderness thread where some people didn't know about the channel until it was linked. Thought there might be more YT channels that are worth checking out we could share. I'm really into astronomy, cosmology, and just science stuff in particular so I'll probably be linking a ton of those YT channels. The Royal Institution https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYeF244yNGuFefuFKqxIAXw They generally bring in leading experts in various fields of science and mathematics and break down the more complicated stuff so that a layman can understand. Most lectures typically range from 40-60 minutes with a 30-40 minutes Q&A session with the lecturers. Numberphile https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoxcjq-8xIDTYp3uz647V5A Again various experts in the field of mathematics explain complicated math and their applicable uses to everyday life. For example I didn't know knot theory was so useful to understanding DNA. Periodic Videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtESv1e7ntJaLJYKIO1FoYw Chemistry Professors at Nottingham University cover all the elements in the Periodic table and perform various chemistry experiments. It's meant to be a channel aimed more at middle school and high schoolers that maybe have a little interest in chemistry but don't exactly know what it all entails. Videos are generally shorter and not as in depth as the Royal Institution Sixty Symbols https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvBqzzvUBLCs8Y7Axb-jZew They break down complicated physics in both quantum and classical theories. They explain the purpose of various mathematical symbols like Newton's constant big G, and Planck's constant among other topics. Again the videos are shorter in length than a lecture but are very informative to a layman. SETI Institute https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzQdkHKOTVT_chwgDcau4sg Astronomy and Cosmology lectures from experts in different specific fields of astronomy. They bring in people that specialize in studying exoplanets from other solar systems. Experts that solely study the sun. Experts that study galaxy formation. Experts in the study of dark matter. DeepSkyVideos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo-3ThNQmPmQSQL_L6Lx1_w Astronomy and Cosmology experts that break down complicated astronomy topics for a layman. They also go to the various telescopes around the world we use to study the night sky. If only for the tour of the various telescopes, it's worth a watch. LaughFactory https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxyCzPY2pjAjrxoSYclpuLg Comedians that make you laugh. Audiotreetv https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWjmAUHmajb1-eo5WKk_22A Recorded live studio sessions of various musicians. KEXP https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3I2GFN_F8WudD_2jUZbojA Recorded live studio sessions of various musicians from the Seattle based radio channel. FitnessBlender https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiP6wD_tYlYLYh3agzbByWQ Married couple out of Washington state that produce workout videos for you to follow. They do mixes of strength training, yoga, pilates and HIIT to try and keep your workouts from going stale. I like them when allergy season is bad for me and I can't really go outside to run or anything. The Last Harpy https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtBHNjsLzlU3QC6X5zA7R8A Game of Thrones fan theories discussed at great length from both the book and TV series. ComicsExplained https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKxQmKgrkUv4S7P5w0pLayw This guy breaks down the history of various comic book characters and keeps up with both DC and Marvel universe continuity so you don't have to. Also covers the biggest storylines from both DC and Marvel comics like the Infinity Gauntlet series or World War/Worldbreaker Hulk.

Personally, mine are: Daym Drops Forensic Spider Cinemassacre Gaming Historian And while they don't do much at all these days, Retroware had a fun history of Video games on their channel. It goes all the way into the 90's, but I'll post the first one in their series.
checkercycle He hasn't put out much content lately. His ratio of subscribers to views is high because the videos take a ton of time to setup. I hope he isn't dead.
