What are some quality YouTube channels that you recommend? - eviltoast

Kind of tired watching trash from YT.

Edit: Thanks for all the replies. It’s good to see that there are still gems in YouTube.

        He had to rebrand as Channel 5 News. The initial investor for AGNB retains the trademark to that name.

        He’s since left YouTube and is Patreon-only now. A real shame too, he does some really great work, but not enough that I’m willing to pay a sub for it.

            He hasn’t released anything on YouTube since his movie came out. After that he went Patreon only, though Im sure the public scrutiny played a large role.

              Most likely. The allegations appear to be at least partly disputed, but not really clear if it’s all going anywhere. His journalism is pretty solid despite his personal conduct, at least what he’s admitted to, being fairly shitty and/or gross.

      Gotta give a shout out to Oculus Imperia for warhammer content! Not exactly for watching so much as listening, but his narration is impeccable and all of his stuff I’ve seen has been of top quality
