@FoundFootageFest

Random old clips edited and rearranged for comedy purposes. One recent example, a KFC training video done to look like Wayne's World.

@torscabinetofcuriosities

This is an old school YouTube channel, with a young guy talking at camera about various things. He is a bit Wikipedia-reliant but I like it.

@6u66legun

Take downs of mostly British pop groups narrated like a crime documentary. He has some good one liners. "Nestled between Black Sabbath and Black Flag is a curious creature called Black Lace..."

@NewThinkingAllowed

This consists of interviews on parapsychology, philosophy, religion and some art and culture. A lot of the interviewees are complete fruitloops to be honest, but there are also some of the best interviews I've seen on YouTube on here, if you are willing to dig about. James Tunney is an underrated figure and has much to say on William Blake and other cultural figures. Others discuss ancient philosophy from Greece, China, Persia, India etc. Also some good vintage stuff including interviews with Jacques Vallee.

The Lunduke Journal - currently the best ass-ripping journalist about tech news. Without him I would never been acknowledged about leftist totalitarians who agressively promote DEI in supposedly neutral projects as Linux kernell, some news the megacorps want to be absent, tech dramas about Xorg, Rust, Mozilla, different shit-on-fan explosions such as the question problem in C++ comittee, and the rest of the freedom speech news. David Lunduke is banned on a lot of forums of open-source projects driven by too evangelist-mood leftists and some of that forums can ban you even for just mentioning this person.

Any channel less than 1k followers. If you see anything like the high-quality content with low pop - don't think, just subscribe. Typically they are same as million-subs channels but less memes, less ads, less bb-creme on face but beware of slop.
