Inspired by this post but the other way around. Which channels (any subject) do you think have stayed true to their beginnings and are still worth watching today?

My pick would be Gamers Nexus.

    I think a whole lot of “maker” type channels have all stayed pretty solid, off the top of my head

    This Old Tony
    Adam Savage
    Xyla Foxlin
    Clickspring
    Blondihacks
    Colin Furze
    Inheritance Machining (though compared to some of the others he’s relatively new)
    Stuff Made Here
    Jeremy Fielding

    Branching out a bit

    How to drink
    Caitlin Doughty (ask a mortician)
    LockpickingLawyer
    NileRed (and NileBlue)
    Tasting History
    Townsends
    Useful Charts
    EDIT: Almost forgot Technology Connections

    Some of them have changed their format a bit over the years, I don’t think that’s been a negative for any of them. Also due to how YouTube revenue works these days a lot of them have had to rely more heavily on sponsors, patron, merch etc. don’t hate the player for that, hate the game.

      Clickspring is absolute gold. The guy is crazy talented and to be fair most of the time I don’t know what he’s talking about, I just enjoy watching a master at work.

      I watched Colin Furze for the first time in some time, recently. I was surprised by how much more calm and measured he seemed. And then I realized it was likely because he was a little older, had more people in his life to be careful for, and probably moving a little slower in general. And then I felt old. And sad. And surprisingly irrelevant.
