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.
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...
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.
