Nakey Jakey is so funny.
I recommend Special Books By Special Kids. It's a special education teacher who meets with people, kids and adults, who have disabilities. It's a great channel that helps us understand what struggles a person may face. A lot of the adult ones who are sound cognitively but face physical limitations who bring up dating and loneliness get me every time.
Another mention forThis is Dan Bell, specifically for his "Dead Mall" series. It's so enjoyable to watch.
One I tune into frequently is Wintergatan. Last year, they (or rather just Martin, I'm not sure) posted the Marble Machine video that went viral. Now Martin uploads a video every Wednesday that documents the successor machine that he's building.
LOL @ alt-right racists like Pewdiepie and Jontron being "leftist". I'm guessing that was the joke...but whoosh.
Some really good recommendations in this thread...and then this post.
I just sub'd to a bunch of channels because of this thread and watched entirely too many Great Big Story videos last night.
A few that I sub to that I haven't seen mentioned here are:
Crooked Media: The video versions of Pod Save America and some other panel type discussions.
Retrontario: 70's-90's Canadian TV commercials/TV shows
Caribbean Pot: Caribbean cooking
JoeRussos Almost Dead: Some pro-shot videos of maybe the best touring live band right now...well second best.
LazyLightning55a: A bunch of 4K concert footage. mostly Phish, some other stuff.
Earwolf: Not very active these days, but some good archived Comedy Bang Bang's, Improv 4 Humans, etc.
Keep 'em coming though.
I just want to highlight the emotion and sincerity he puts in his videos. Its a refreshing perspective since he focuses on feeling rather than criticisms of the form.
One video that show cases this in particular is his "Dark Souls saved me" video. The tone and everything feels personal, like he's inviting you into his space. It has no clips of the game- the video is just of him, bundled in a blanket speaking his feelings. Its quite amazing.
Some other channels I discovered recently
Strip Panels Naked
Essentially "Game Maker's Toolkit" for comics
Townsends
A historical channel about colonial life, with a large focus on cooking recipes from the era
The Loam Ranger
A mountain biking channel with GoPro-filmed adventures along various trails

Yeah, I'm guessing that's the joke. Basically everyone he listed was an alt-right shithead. I think Jake Paul and Logan Paul are just regular shitheads though.
I'm going to add Shaun to the list of quality Youtubers
NakeyJakey, as others have said, is an absolute treasure. He feels like a friend.
In terms of "commentary youtube": Cody Ko and Noel Miller, Drew Gooden, Danny Gonzalez, Eddy Burbank, Nerd City
ProZD for comedy voice over
Lindsey Ellis and Folding Ideas for video essay content
Contrapoints for my sjw-ing
Funhaus, of course.
Safiya Nygaard does buzzfeed style videos (as she worked for them) but they are so bingeable.
If you want to hear sax covers, Bari S has you covered.
Bill Wurtz for... whatever the hell it is he does (the History of Japan/The World guy)

i follow 2 music ones RoughNX a small channel with a guy that pumps out alot of electronic ambient music thats all royalty free. he also occassionally does anime covers. and post modern juke box that does modern songs in an older style, like swing, lounge and a bunch if other and its a very good production
I was gonna start a thread but this one looks good. I need to more channels to watch.
Theres a bunch of these 'primitive life' videos on youtube where people build stuff without modern equipment. Its just so interesting to have on in the background. Might even teach you a thing or two if you ever get stranded on a deserted island.
https://youtu.be/SBljWDJFe7c
Honestly the best food show on youtube. He's like a non creepy(but awkward) version food ranger. Or a broke anthony bourdain.
https://youtu.be/cXiOMqyDRrU
Matt Stonie eating videos. Non gross version of LA beast.

If you're looking for something closer to Lindsay, with more in depth analysis, I would recommend Movies with Mikey.
His look at the Cornetto Trilogy was great.

Well, everybody's probably gonna be putting up a list of generally popular gaming channels.
I myself sub to quite a bit but I think for my filter here I'm gonna focus on channels related to my niche - retro game archival research. Many of these are considerably smaller channels, so givin them a sub would be nice.
Unable to make urls from where I am at currently, so I will say for now you can find these folks by searching them on YouTube. Links will be edited in later:
1) Gaming Historian
2) LSuperSonicQ
3) nensondubois
4) Skawo
5) The Cutting Room Floor
6) Nintendo Era
7) GameHut
8) LuigiBlood
Oh, and I guess suggesting my own channel may be a nice idea to. ^^;

Here's a few channels for any other film geek out there.
Oliver Harper - He does incredibly detailed film retrospectives that focus quite a bit on the developmental and production aspects that I think a lot of reviewers miss.
Ryan Hollinger - For any other horror fans out there, his "Horror Explained" series and other retrospectives often shed light on things from a uniquely British take. Something that also sheds light on a lot of indie darlings that I would never have heard of stateside.
Folding Ideas - While his focus isn't entirely film, many of his videos have opened my eyes to the editing side of film-making, something that I hadn't ever paid much attention to.

I posted this on FB awhile back...
"I toyed with the idea of highlighting terrible Youtubers and blasting them for their shittiness. INSTEAD, I'm gonna share some of my favorite Youtubers with you guys. Hopefully you will check them out if their content is up your alley. Wall of text incoming.
-Ryan Celsius Sounds: If low-fi hip hop is your thing, this Maryland local cultivates tracks from Sound Cloud to put together relaxing, airy mixes to suit your various moods.
-Double Toasted: If you ever watched the animated movie reviews from Spill.com, some of that team branched off to create their own thing. They specialize in movie reviews and will often devote time to current events.
-Red Letter Media: My other go-to movie review team. They review new movies, but their bread and butter is "Best Of The Worst" where they review the biggest dumpster fires ever put to video cassette.
-Dead End Hip Hop: A circle of "old heads" reviewing current hip hop is the best way I can put it. They've all got their individual preferences but I find them a bit more relatable being in the same age bracket. Their format is not very formal, more discussion based.
-The Needle Drop: The internet's busiest music nerd. Literally, the man covers every genre. I don't like everything that he's hyped up, but he's definitely put me onto stuff I never would have listened to. He had a pretty funny meme review channel if you can find the archived videos.
-Gregor: After jumping fresh into "Rainbow Six: Siege" last year, I discovered this guy's channel. Very informative (and funny) videos for newcomers to the game.
-Geoff The Hero: I'm not sure how to describe Geoff. He's a troll. He's the trolliest of trolls. From his "Gaming In The Obama Years" series,to his fued with other members of the fighting game community, he's put out some truly hilarious content.
-OSW Reviews: A few lads from Ireland doing reviews of old wrestling PPVs. Not much else to say.
-Super Eyepatch Wolf: I've already shared several of his videos. He made me an anime fan again.
-Moodz616: His top 10 videos made me into a horror movie addict. I get super jealous anytime he shows off his DVD/blu-ray collection. He's also a huge hip hop head, so bonus.
-Horror Show Comics: Does readings of various horror fiction, but particularly horror manga, along with the accompanying visuals. Highly recommended if you're a fan of Junji Ito.
-ReignBot: She specializes is creepy pastas, internet hoaxes, dark web stuff, etc. If you're in the mood to get creeped out, look no further.
-Destiny: Remember the shitty Youtubers I spoke about earlier? This guy has lengthy debates with them, and absolutely annihilates them. Fun watches, but fair warning they are pretty lengthy.
-Fury Road: One of my truly guilty pleasures is videos of shitty drivers. This guy's channel is dash cam heaven. Accidents, arguments, and just people generally making dumb decisions on the road. I can never just watch one vid."

Strictly speaking I'm not following Every Frame a Painting since the channel is no longer updated, but every video there is well worth watching.
Retro Replay - Nolan North and Troy Baker playing old games, telling jokes or stories, doing voices, and playing poorly most of the time:
Mr.nightmare has consistently put out by far the best scary story videos on youtube. He makes even some crazy sounding stories sound believable.
Noclip is the only YouTube channel I have ever subscribed to in history, lol.
Might check out a few of these, though.

NEOTIC has some tasty lo-fi jams
Ahoy has excellent retrospectives on game mechanics and history
bill wurtz makes funny videos about things

BotanicSage, the king of music mashups

Corridor Digital, a channel with high-quality videos and high-quality special effects
cyriak, a channel with a lot of surreal videos, his most popular one involving shapeshifting cows.
David Firth, one of my favourite YouTube animators. Known from Salad Fingers fame, David Firth has some excellent animation series on his channel, such as Sock, The News That Hasn't Happened Yet, and David Firth's Health Reminder.
Easy Allies, one of the best collection of gaming personalities on the Internet. Entertaining to watch with loads of content, Easy Allies is an instant recommendation for anybody who likes video games.

Been watching his videos because this comments thx they are very entertaining
Your guys already mentioned a bunch, so I will say this dude because I didn't see it mentioned. Dude reviews MREs. If you like history, he reviews military rations from whatever era he can find. I think the oldest one has been 1899 or something like that lol. And he will try them, if he thinks they are safe.

Mr Mobile for the editing alone. His reviews are also on point, but his presentation, voice overs, and content are on another level. You get that the guy loves tech. Damir Franc as well, he tries to stay objective, but his sunjective views are definitelt worth listening to.
I don't think vaguely gesturing at ASMR as something someone should search is going to do them any favours.
You're quite welcome! I'm glad you're finding there enjoyment there!
Heather Feather was one of them but she doesn't post much anymore. The major ones are pretty consistent in quality for the most part so it probably doesn't matter which one you choose.
The 8-Bit Guy's videos are extremely in-depth, if you like watching videos based around classic computers.
