Haven't checked these out much, but they were recommended too:
Technology Connections
Household tech tips

Cathode Ray Dude, CloudCuckooCountry, Distant Signal, Jacob geller, Jay foremen, patriciantv, power pak, technology Connections, train of thought
History Matters is absolutely hilarious if you like world history and British humor.
Little Chinese Everywhere
I've traveled in China a lot and she goes to places I've never had the opportunity to, asks so many well thought out questions to the locals, and does an excellent job editing it together. Great channel if you like travel stuff
The B1M
Incredible channel about construction and architecture. Because they cover worldwide you get a big of regional information. The videos are high quality with tons of business details you would have to pay for premium subscriptions to get before.
Maigomika
New channel about a couple who moved to a very rural part of Japan and their challenges. It isnt stuffed with info, they let the environment lead the pace and fill in little details here and there. Beautiful imagery with a bit of home cam style that really brings the viewer into their world.
Nick Zentner (@GeologyNick) has been delivering college level lectures and seminars in geology for years. He has several lecture series ranging from 101 level, senior College level, to breaking research. He also has many shorts and onsite presentations.
Noraly (@ItchyBoots) has been traveling around the world via motorcycle for 6 or so years. She's currently traversing western Africa, and has hundreds of hours of backlog. She has previously traveled from India to the Netherlands, and then from Argentina to Alaska (with a break for COVID).
Quality is realllllly subjective. What are your interests?

TLDR News
Haven't seen acollierasto mentioned yet.
She's a scientist with a PHD in Astrophysics and does deep dives on specific topics, generally from the angle of science communication and how it often fails that topic in some way.
Her videos are very simple and low production value, but packed with information. She's a great communicator and you walk away from each video, not just with better knowledge on a topic, but also with a sense of where the holes in that knowledge are. Like where the limits of the metaphor being used to covey the topic to you exist.
From the bandwagon: GothamChess. He's a bit too dramatic at times, but it's fun.
When it comes to food, stay away from non-professional channels like Tasty or even websites like Allrecipes.com. The recipes may turn out to be disasters - pro sources always test and retest their recipes.
I can recommend these food channels:
Thai cooking by a Thai https://www.youtube.com/@PailinsKitchen
Soul food by Momma Cherri https://www.youtube.com/@MommaCherri
EZ Asian cooking https://www.youtube.com/@adamliaw
Italian https://www.youtube.com/@NOTANOTHERCOOKINGSHOW
Keto recipes https://www.youtube.com/@KetoConnect
Baking https://www.youtube.com/@BrianLagerstrom
Food Lab https://www.youtube.com/@JKenjiLopezAlt/videos
Ethan Chlebowski https://www.youtube.com/@EthanChlebowski/videos
Advoko Makes is my favourite. Russian guy building stuff in the woods. Posts new videos rarely but the quality is top notch
Overly Sarcastic Productions have a fun mix of history and entertainment, combined with a nuce art style
Captain Disillusion (vital video debunking and general videography/effects)
Jim Can't Swim (criminal interrogation psychology)
Village cooking channal
love me some Drawfee
Sampson boat co (incredible rebuild of a classic sailing yacht)
Andrew camerata (crazy construction projects and equipment)
If you like artists and nonsense comedy to distract you from reality, I highly recommend Drawfee
Content Warning: M (Millennials)
I'm basically copying most of my subscription list here:
I think that should be good enough...
Smartereveryday is incredible educational content, and he's been making them for years.
Dr. Becky - really informative and interesting astronomy news and info
Michael Reeves - Hilariously ridiculous projects usually involving code and technology of some kind
Kyle Hill - Love his Half-Life Histories series, even if he is a bit clickbait
I dunno what kind of channels you wanted.
Just wanted to say that steve1989mreinfo is posting again!
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/channel/UC2I6Et1JkidnnbWgJFiMeHA
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
check channelcrawler dot com, but the main thing about any social media is you get on look at what you went there for in the first place and get off never scroll and watch recommended videos best case scenario you lose 2 hours scrolling or get mk ultra'd into buying door dash every night
@ecoboy if you're into some educational vids on semi-serious but delivered in a humorous way,
ClimateTown is right there (https://youtube.com/@ClimateTown)
Sort of in the same vein is NotJustBikes, who has really great insight on subpar American infrastructure compared to other developed countries.
(https://youtube.com/@NotJustBikes)
EngineeringExplained with some cool insights on the intersection of nature and engineering (https://youtube.com/@PracticalEngineeringChannel)
Kill Tony (1 minute stand-up comedy peformed by mostly amateurs)
One Bite Pizza Reviews (try and guess the pizza score before it drops)
Astrum Decoding the Unknown NOVA PBS Official
Haven't seen anyone mention Posy. The guy made an entire video on mouse cursors, it's great.
That feels like it should be boring but for some reason I am totally up for looking up a video about mouse cursors.
Not a channel, but some resources. The addons are all open source. Also unfortunately many subreddits that had quality channel suggestions have been either banned due to being "unmoderated" or are lost to time. Please post any finds here or help archive them if you can. The Datahorders community is a great place to start!
List of resources to find more gems. Note many posts and subreddits have been lost/banned/removed. Here are the ones I found.
