Strange and surprising YOUTUBE channels that you subscribe to

[Jingthing]

Why did it take so long for this topic to happen?

 

Can be weird and wonderful, guilty pleasures, or serious stuff too.

 

To tell us, I suggest that you include a sample video of the channel instead of linking to the channel's summary page. More fun, no?

I'll start. 

Hello Adorables!

Their target audience is mostly Americans who they hilariously call Adorables. 

Why Americans? Well idealistically you could say because they love America, and cynically because the U.S. google Adsense ads pay best there. (Ha ha.)

I don't think I've even met one American who would describe Americans in general as adorable. 

From Russia with Love.

Channel: Dan Sheekoz

I could go on all day with some of my odd channel subscriptions, but I'll wait and see if people want to play along and tell us theirs. If not, another dud!

Not sure how strange, or surprising, but I enjoy many of the After Skool videos.

Numerous well done animated hand illustrations of presentations by some really interesting speakers.

The fruitcake who thinks  Trans  women should  be  allowed into womens weightlifiting. Should be renamed the lookatme channel. 

Like the canal series 

 The  problem with alot  of these channels  is  as  they start to be more   successful they tend  to change and start promoting junk, straying off their  original, subject and becoming crpa

Because it is of no interest to many people perhaps!

Here's something different.

Usually people subscribe to content creators that they like.

But in this case I watch this guy because I hate him. Hate watching. Somehow I find that entertaining.

 

Channel:   Our Retire Early Lifestyle

A while back I went through a phase of watching a bunch of Africa wildlife hunt, kill, and eat videos. Also stuff like big frogs eating little frogs

 

This Channel is the best of the bunch. 

 

Channel: Kruger Sightings

This is a smart guy who covers developments in energy generation and storage, climate, etc.  

 

 

[cmarshall]

This guy is teacher and Labour supporter in Yorkshire who explains British politics, especially Brexit.  He provides a very good way to get a handle on the arcana of British politics and media for us outsiders.

Very therapeutic  when he strips it down and reassembles . Love seeing things repaired.

 

 

 

The Nakid watchmaker.

 

Repairing old but valuable watches. Taking them apart , restoring then putting the hundreds of little pieces together again.

Folks, I'd like to suggest a rough general format for the posts here.

 

Along with the SAMPLE video from the YOUTUBE Channel that you're sharing, please include some comments about the channel which many people are doing already, but ALSO the name of the channel.

 

For example.

 

Channel: Bulgarian Nose Pickers

 

That makes it easier for people to find the channels on YOUTUBE.

 

That would be great.

Insights into wacky things happening in China. Should we be watching them ?

If they click on the video and then on YouTube they will see the Channel name, can click on it, and and and.

That's the beauty of the internet. Just click on the next link. ????

Yes of course. 

It was just a suggestion.

I think it adds to the posts.

I want to emphasize this is about sharing entire channels not about one off videos.

The posted videos are only a sample of the channels.

Stefan Milo has a channel named after him about prehistory.  He's not an academic, but he reports on current research in the field in a thoughtful and well-informed way.  A good antidote to the pyramids-built-by-aliens crowd.
