https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLfFWXUNJ_I It’s more of one playlist than a channel about quantum mechanics on Russian, but as I see it has English subtitles. A fairly clear explanation with a small amount of simple mathematics, probably the minimum that is possible. It helps to understand at least a little such a complex and illogical science for the average layman.

My husband recently found this gem of a cooking channel that we both love. Chef Jean Pierre He’s hilarious and the food looks amazing.

Inside China Business

Its a chauvinist doing 10min reports on China’s business practices. Its mostly a guy presenting well researched information about how China is eating the us’ lunch and being frustrated about it.

Blind Drunk. I know for a near fact that nobody’s heard of them because they have like 2K subs, but they’re good as hell. They make a drinking game out of reading trash right wing books by people like Boris Johnson, Ben Shapiro, and the dork who wrote the Turner Diaries. But despite how messy and dark things could get with that premise, it’s some of the funniest, best put together and most insightful content I’ve ever seen on the subject of fascism and fascist psychology.

Love me some Peach Cobbler too.

Combo Class is a neat math education channel where things are often on fire or falling apart in the background in a way that’s fascinating on top of the math itself

Side note, I have no idea how many subscribers counts as obscure. It seems relative to the size of the niche. Or maybe I have no idea how big people are relative to how much I care about them. Like I would expect Ben Levin (music theory and production creator) to be closer in subs to Adam Neely (same) but he’s an entire order of magnitude lower. Like is CJ The X (video essayist) obscure enough at 341K subs?

Matt Brown - security researcher and bug bounty hunter

Robert Murray Smith - general mechanical engineering tinkering, lots to learn

TheCod3r - console and other electronic repairs

Wesley Kagan - builds cars but is just an overall genius and entertaining

Joe Grand - hacker, genius

There are more popular/sometimes better people and channels in each genre but I’ve stuck to those with under 1 million sub’s. I’ll assume people like Colin Furze, Ben Eater, Computerphile are already too well known for this thread

Bobby Fingers. He makes diaramas of weird things and then buries them in the woods for people to find. Doesn’t make videos too often but they’re hilarious.

Kyle the Scott. A Scottish cisman with a kinda effeminate voice who once did a dramatic shirt rip to prove he is in fact cis, in the middle of a half hour essay about why it shouldn’t even matter and “transvestigations” are bullshit.

But his normal schtick is media criticism, covering franchises like Star Wars, Halo, and Assassin’s Creed. They’re just genuinely good reviews that aren’t afraid to get into the politics where appropriate (including explicitly rejecting some of the more popular bigoted takes) but honestly feel it’s about the way that particular lens affects the media, rather than being an end into itself.

A really tiny channel I like is Don’t Look East. Currently less than 3000 subscribers and most videos just get a few hundred views. He does unscripted travel vlogs about rarely visited destinations, mostly in Asia and Eastern Europe. For example he recently travelled the entire Thailand/Myanmar border by motorcycle.

Aussie Wood Shed

twoodfrd - the guy repairs guitars with his soothing voice and lots of technicial knowledge
