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.

One I haven't seen mentioned yet is Marius Hornberger. Awesomely talented young German maker.

Bad Obsession Motorsport ! I've been watching them build a Mini rally car for 12 years. They keep getting distracted by perfectionism and I'm very here for it.

Workshop Companion is great for beginner-friendly woodworking, and I've been really liking HomeRenoVision DIY for home renovation content.

I've been watching TheCrafsMan explain DIY techniques for almost a decade now.

The topics and explanations have always made for great videos but the effort put into videography and music has definitely skyrocketed as the channel grew. He's never strayed from the wholesome, zen-like tone or given clues about his real identity.

Mighty Car Mods are a pair of Australian blokes who have been doing car-based videos for 15+ years. Everything they've done has been high quality and entertaining.

I honestly don't know how they do it.

SBPlaysGames, super tiny lets play channel, but has been consistently uploading for 10 years and she picks some really good indie games (as well as board games) that i would otherwise never would have heard of. Plus pretty good analysis of the games, though of course the lets play format means it's pretty spread out across episodes. And by analysis i don't mean reviews, but more like movie analysis level. Though I'd love it if she'd lean into that part a bit more.

and i specifically picked her because it's one thing to consistently produce good content when you have millions of views (and dollars?), but doing so with 28k subs and maybe 100-200 views, for over 10 years, that takes real dedication.

Oh and on the topic of video game channels, AnyAustin is amazing. Fucking weird but amazing. He also does video game analysis but not how you'd think…

science based channels(research, discoveries), although you have to correct the info from time to time, so it doesnt sound like misinformation, occurs quite frequently with biology, phylogenitcs. influencer channels however degrade/decline over time, especially when they become annoyingly political.

i watch pbs eons, deep look, have to comment on them making mistake about species, phylogeny accuracy from to time. one time i commented on the "acoelomorph" video, and said they are unrelated to flatworms.

LSC as a car-tuber is just such a gift. No click bait, no rage bait, no being a dick in his cars. Just a love of vehicles and working on them. Him and Doug DeMuro are like the only thing keeping me sane in the car community since all the others turn to super cars, buying insanely expensive stuff, and just constant environmental shitting and debauchery. I know my cars aren’t great for the environment, but the way other car-tubers just open pollute and destroy the environment is disheartening.
