Ask HN: What is the one YouTube channel you recommend I subscribe to?

3•chirau•1h ago
My YouTube algorithm throws me the same stuff all the time, so I now exist in an echo chamber.

I opened a new channel today to start afresh. I want it to be as diverse as possible, with content across all subjects. I just want it to be good quality content. No matter how obscure or niche. Learn new things, find new interests. Every single subscription will be crowdsourced, nothing of my own picking. Then I will just let it flow and watch.

A quick summary of what the channel does would be helpful too, but not mandatory.

Inheritance Machining - https://m.youtube.com/c/InheritanceMachining?ra=m

A guy inherits a bunch of old school, manual machining equipment from his grandfather.

Every video is a part or project he makes by hand, from start to finish. Incredibly satisfying. Typically 15-30 minutes each. Great camera work, with quality voiceover.

I walk away from every video having either learned something new, or stuck in a fascinating thought exercise.

Rick Beato's. If you are not a musician now, you will be one soon. Entertaining, informative, and packed with actual human content.

Dr. Chris Edward's. Guy repairs retro computers mostly for free. Brilliant work, and quite funny. Has a lot of Amiga videos. His wife's name is Mona. ;-)

Speaking of music, check out The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets, a Vancouver band that's been together since the early '90s. Most of their stuff is based on H.P. Lovecraft stories. They rock hard. Fun lyrics.
