TWIV This Week in Virology (although much goes over my head)
I have stated this before, but I like the channel Bald and bankrupt. Mr. bald is quite the character. He can make things that have been overlooked in the world and bring it to life. He just has something, I am not sure what it is , but people can't get enough of it.
+1. I have fixed all sorts of things around the house that I never could have before YouTube how-to videos. Saves quite a bit $$$ and very satisfying. Impresses DW too, even though she’s fully aware I’m using YouTube to do it - I guess she’s surprised I know how to use tools!
And just as important, it also tells me in advance when I’d be over my head trying to fix something, and therefore when I should call a pro.
Main ones I watch are:
- NDYakAngler
- Sam the Cooking Guy
- Ghost Town Living
- Simple Living Alaska
- Outkick
- Dr Sam Baily
- SUV RVing
- Slim Potatohead
- Experior Golf
I'm not sure what you mean. I listed some channels with pandemic content that I watch regularly.What feed do you watch Covid channels on?
I subscribe to two of these Cricket and will check the others out.Well,most of what I watch are channels that "transport me" to something/somewhere else for a short period of time.
Kylie Flavell - an amazing videographer and traveler though she is currently settled in Tuscany with her boyfriend. She covers different topics (she and her boyfriend are currently starting to renovate an old chicken coop on his family's property) but I find her "eye" amazing and her voice relaxing.
Sailing Magic Carpet - young couple that sails and recently (2019-20) traveled from the Mediterranean to the North Sea through inland waterways. So interesting especially their experience with dealing with Covid in France. They are quite knowledgable and entertaining.
Good Simple Living - young couple with four kids who sold their property in WA, he quit his job as a policeman, and moved to purchased property in Idaho(w/stunning views). They proceeded to build a tiny home inside a pole barn and are now building their forever home. They are an interesting and funny couple. And they had no building experience when they started all of this.
The Indie Projects - British couple who travel(ed) and lived in their van for 6-7 years but are now converting an old stone barn into a tiny home on property they purchased in Portugal. They also had no previous building/renovation experience when they started and they are delightful and never seem to get dismayed no matter what happens.
Nate Murphy - he is a rock climber but I actually got interested in his channel last year when he decided to find a place to live vs. in his van in between his climbing activities. He purchased a place in a small village in Spain and completely renovated it himself. The views are simply stunning and again he had no experience in building/renovating but he taught himself how to do 95% of what needed to be done to get the place renovated. The views alone make me want to run off to the same village to live.
Living Off Grid w/Jake and Nicole - American/Canadian couple who met in AZ, traveled a bit, and then purchased property in BC(with access by boat only).Building their homestead and living off the land.
GoWithLess - retired couple, early 50's, sold their home in 1/20, and planned to start their global travel plan....then covid came along. They set a mo. budget of $3000/mo to live on so they were scrambling early last year to try to stay within that budget when >200 + days of house sitting commitments went away.
Subscribe doesn’t result in ANY notifications, notifications are a separate function. I subscribe to many, but I don’t turn on notifications for any. Subscribe makes it easy to see what’s new of channels I know I like, instead of wading through other garbage and relying on algorithms to recommend other things I might like - while that’s of value occasionally. Subscriptions is one way YouTube content providers get paid for their work, I don’t see anything wrong with supporting them in that way - it takes considerable effort to produce a quality video.Personally, I don't subscribe to any and youtube seems pretty good about posting newer videos from channels I frequent at the top of the home page. I find it kind of annoying to get constant notifications if I subscribe and there's obviously some kind of algorithm that knows what I'm watching anyway and pushes them up.

I’ve been a subscriber to many channels for many years and I’ve never gotten a single email - NONE. AFAIK you don’t get emails unless you choose the “Notifications” bell.YouTube used to send email notifications when channels you subscribed to uploaded new videos. However, they ended that last year, so I'm not sure if the notifications do anything anymore. I subscribe and click the notification bell to every channel I follow and don't recall being notified of anything. So, I just click "Subscriptions" in the left panel (after logging in) to see all the new uploads for the channels I follow.

Subscriptions feed, available on both mobile and a computer, will show all recently uploaded videos from your subscriptions.
Notifications tell you when there are new videos and updates from your subscriptions. We’ll send emails, notifications on mobile, or inbox notifications on your computer. When you subscribe to a channel, you’ll automatically get personalized notifications with highlights of activity.
To get all notifications from a subscribed channel, tap the Notification bell . The bell will then change to a ringing bell to indicate that you've selected all notifications.
