I couldn't find a thread about this, so here are some of my favorites.
1) Mustie1 - The BEST gear head channel out there. He has 500K+ subscribers and for good reason. He goes into detail as to how he rebuilds just about anything with an engine. He does a great job explaining what he's doing and does a good job shooting and editing his videos.
2a) Rick Beato -Music producer that shows how songs are developed. Music history and theory but not to the point of being boring. Really gets into the evolution of popular music over the past 60 years. Lots of excellent content with good video production and editing.
2b) Rhett Shull - Friends with Rick Beato. Does videos on his life as a professional guitar player for hire. Lots of videos about being on the road, etc.
3) The Bearded Butchers - As you might have guessed it's about a family that operates a fairly large butcher shop. Lots of details about breaking down a carcass into various cuts and then taking them out to the grill. Good info on quality of meats and what to buy and what to avoid.
4) Virtual Railfan - I've always been in to railroading. Lots of good content showing things like derailments and their causes/fixes. Several live 24/7 cameras at locations around the US, including one at Santa Fe Junction in KCMO.
5) Living Traditions Homestead - A family of homesteaders in SE Missouri. Lots of content about a small farm and the daily operation dealing with animals and crops. Well done videos.
That's a few I enjoy.
What do you subscribe to if you subscribe at all? I'm always looking for the really good YouTubers that know how to develop content. I'd rather watch real people doing real things than the crap that passes for prime time TV.
BTW, I stream YouTube over my TV via Roku. Much more enjoyable than watching on a computer or phone. [Reply]

Watched walker - a guy who takes his camera and walks down city streets of popular travel destinations. Other travel stuff too.
Some channels with content for relaxation.
A lot of vid suggestions I get are historical stuff, some vintage comedy, really all range of themes that I've thumbs upped. Most I watch are random that aren't necessarily subscriptions.
Beato is exceptional in his musical knowledge. His recent video breaking down Seal's Kiss from a Rose is great. He calls Seal to comment on how he came up with unique phrasing and chord changes. Good stuff.
Beato's really good at immediately pick up a songs structure/key changes/chords etc.. He doesn't have perfect pitch, but his teenage son does. Beato will play a complex chord on the piano and his son immediately tells him each note. Beato is impressed, but his son is like "it's easy". Typical teen. [Reply]

So yeah youtube is a huge part of my tv diet, to be honest if I didnt need the CBS station out of Quincy Il to show me most Chiefs games every year, I'd have cut cable a LOOOOOONG time ago
Between it, and free over the air tv... I could be just fine, but I just GOTTA have that CBS station that can't be had without cable for my Chiefs games
I've looked into Roku, but there is no guarantee of getting this particular CBS station either :-) [Reply]

Dude is one of the slickest, most interesting, smartest talking people I've ever listened to... razor sharp guy, he could've been the greatest Boss ever had he stayed in that life
Sammy the Bull Gravano is awesome as well, tells awesome stories... has more of a raw talking street muscle style than Franzese [Reply]
Subscribe to tons, mostly to 'feed the algorithm' and not miss out on key postings.
But so far as key subs, in order listed. Bolded are the ones, where if something new pops up, I generally stop everything and check it out.
