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.

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.

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.

Post10.

11 years of posting videos. No politics, no ads, no culture war bullshit. Just camping videos and unclogging culverts.

I feel like Ethoslab deserves a mention. He’s basically making the exact same great fun Minecraft videos as I, a grown ass man, remember from my literal childhood!

Air crash reconstructions using flight sim software, with real ATC or CVR audio where available, but no stupid dramatic acting or filling time. Amazing content, hundreds and hundreds of videos

He passed away from a car accident a few months ago.

Esoterica is really one of those channels that seems to gain in quality over the years. This summer's seminar on Merkabah literature was just bonkers ! If you like religious history the whole channel is a must watch.

Cracking the Cryptic would be my top addition to the list. Daily solves of quality human-set variant sudoku puzzles and weekly cryptic crossword solves.

Granted it’s only 3 years old, there’s a channel called Little Chinese Everywhere. It’s a travel vlog of a Chinese woman and her German boyfriend. I like the channel for three reasons:

  1. They are currently traveling the ancient silk road and retracing Marco Polo’s travels along Central Asia. The area is fascinating and they’re going to places I’ve never seen before or even thought about.

  2. Their vlog format is great because they use forward-facing, POV style filming, and gorgeous drone shots. I hate videos that focus on travel and sights but 80% of the time the camera is on the vlogger’s face.

  3. They actually research the history of the places they go to, and they’ve studied enough languages to be able to get by. So their videos are not the “out-of-place foreign person visits xx country” style.

Ashens. Released a video the other day about microwavable burgers that I couldn't immediately tell whether it was brand new or 10 years old.
