Wendover Productions. Smartly made and most interesting. You'll definitely enjoy if you take a look.
Nutritionfacts. I have two computers going. When the moderator flashes a study I click the pause button and type the study's name in the search bar on the other monitor. That way I can either read the whole study, or at the least, an abstract.
The Luxury Travel Expert--for me, it's eavesdropping on the wealthy.
Serpentza--this is a South African who has been living in China for several years, speaks the language and is married to a Chinese woman. The govt is cracking down on those who document life inside China, so I'm not sure if Serpentza is still in China. But his videos are real and he's just a normal guy who tells it like it is. He also has a partner/friend he does videos with while riding motorcycles.

I am amazed at the talent and creativity by people posting adventures and how things work on You Tube.
This weekend, we used You Tube to find out and perform eclectic things like cleaning our dryer vent and replacing a voltage regulator on DS ML350. Of course you have to watch several to find the best techniques of DIY to avoid producer bias.
Convinced that with You Tube, a razor blade, mirror, whiskey, needle and thread I could remove my own appendix unassisted.
Not currently a brewer, but this one is kinda cool.

Looking at videos of people playing with lithium batteries, I have seen things done that make me cringe. It's not that they are daredevils who willingly take risks, but ignorant people who do not understand that what they do will lead to catastrophic failures down the road.
There are always more knowledgeable commenters who warn them, but these are often dismissed.

I recently stumbled across this guy's videos, and then his partner's ones. Serpentza's friend is American, and also has a Chinese wife.
They both have been recently making videos that would not be well received in China, particularly by the mainland government.
Whatever their motive for posting these videos, they would not be safe there now, as there is no freedom of speech in China. I don't think they are still in China, but wonder about their wives' whereabout, and their safety.

Currently watching C&Rsenal. Seems to have two primary programs, Primer and Anvil. Primer provides historical context to old firearms, recently small arms of the Great War; Anvil is gunsmithing done on relics. I’m enjoying them both quite a bit.
The democratization of media is the real miracle of the 21st century, imho.

"great canal journeys" An octagenarian English couple cruising on canal boats mostly in Europe, but also all over the world. It's a British television show (channel 4 I think) but lots of the content is on YouTube.

As far as the Englishman who goes to Eastern Europe that sounds like Bald and Bankrupt. I am a subscriber. I wouldn't be surprised if he has over a million subscribers by the end of the year and quite possibly before then. He is that popular. Mr. Bald has Russian language skills I can only dream about.
