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.
Numberphile and any other channel by Brady Haran.
Computerphile as well.
Some of these channels have changed over the years, expanding and adding hosts and things, but they consistently make good content and have either improved or maintained that quality.
Wendover and Half As Interesting
Real Engineering
Mustard
Legal Eagle
Mentour Pilot
Not a channel, but a creator: Yahtzee Croshaw (was Zero Punctuation/Extra Punctuation on The Escapist, is now Fully Ramblomatic/Semi Ramblomatic on Second Wind.
CGP Grey
SciShow (and many of the other projects from the vlogbrothers, including Crash Course and vlogbrothers itself)
Technology Connections
Shaun
HBomberGuy
ElectroBOOM
Videogamedunkey
Primitive technology. There are many imitators, but the original is a man on his own in Australia. His videos focus on building structures in the woods. Starting with river mud, he will make a furnace in order to make bricks in order to make a building to sleep in in order to use it for kiln drying for larger structures etc…
Be sure to watch with subtitles to read his explanation of things!
Edit to fix: he is based in Australia, not new Zealand.
All true, except he’s in Queensland, Australia.
Also needs to be said that he’s been creating for a decade and every video is consistently as good as the last one. The man single handedly spawned an entire genre and he just kept doing his own thing, algorithms and influencer culture be damned.

If you don’t really care about exotic fruit adventures, at least watch his feature length Nutmeg documentary it’s most excellent.
Boomer shooter comedic…retrospectives? I like him.

He repairs very old electronics and is soothing to listen to.
I don’t even really care about motorcycles, but their video editing skills are incredible.

Accurate, he will do everything possible to avoid spending money on a project.

His sense of humor doesn’t get old for me.

Mad scientist.
Taught me more about language than any teacher in my life ever did.
I find a lot of obscure old games to play via this guy and his videos are high effort.

Every video is a work of art. It doesn’t matter what the subject is, you’ll be entranced.

Smarter Everyday (space, slow mo, manufacturing), PBS Space Time (space, quantum physics, astrophysics…), Xisumavoid (Minecraft Let’s Play), Magnus Midtbø (Climber), Asianometry (technology, manufacturing, science history)
Smarter Everyday has only gotten better and better as he has grown in notoriety. Fantastic content, and not beholden to sponsors.
except him spouting more and more religious shit
Except for all the American Armed Forces stuff
