I've been watching this YouTube channel phenomenon develop. Not quite sure how it's going to end up, but it's fascinating. One example: I don't watch TV, but I love watching late show clips on YouTube. Jimmy Kimmel, Conan, Jimmy Fallon. Their channels are pretty good. They upload portions of the show, and I can quickly gauge by the title if I'm interested. I would have never watched any of this footage if not for their YouTube channels. Fallon: https://www.youtube.com/user/latenight https://www.youtube.com/user/latenight Conan: https://www.youtube.com/user/teamcoco https://www.youtube.com/user/teamcoco Kimmel: https://www.youtube.com/user/JimmyKimmelLive https://www.youtube.com/user/JimmyKimmelLive I watched Smarter Every Day grow from a small userbase to giant, along with all these other "learning" channels mentioned in the article. These guys are setting up Patreons now and getting paid per video, some of them a lot of money, and so they are really incentivized to produce quality, which is also an interesting recent development. There is just so much good content on YouTube it's crazy. My daughters love watching How To Cook That (https://www.youtube.com/user/howtocookthat https://www.youtube.com/user/howtocookthat). The fact our children have access to such an enormous amount of interesting content is mind-boggling to me. And it's really only just beginning. Educational/learning channels that should have been included: AvE - metal&wood working, amazing tool reviews, hilarious guy - https://www.youtube.com/user/arduinoversusevil https://www.youtube.com/user/arduinoversusevil taofledermaus - stuff with mercury, shoots strange projectiles out of a shotgun - https://www.youtube.com/user/taofledermaus https://www.youtube.com/user/taofledermaus King of Random - lots of interesting random builds, nice quick format - https://www.youtube.com/user/01032010814 https://www.youtube.com/user/01032010814 Woodworking (&metal) Channels: Diresta - this guy... makes everything look easy - https://www.youtube.com/user/jimmydiresta https://www.youtube.com/user/jimmydiresta Izzy Swan - woodworker pro who has recently switched to doing YT full time - https://www.youtube.com/user/rusticman1973 https://www.youtube.com/user/rusticman1973 I Build It - personal favorite - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzGbp-rRVNwyFhn9gHoZr5g https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzGbp-rRVNwyFhn9gHoZr5g Matthias Wandel - everyone in the community knows this guy, can make anything - https://www.youtube.com/user/Matthiaswandel https://www.youtube.com/user/Matthiaswandel Marius Hornberger - similar feel to Matthias - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn7lavsPdVGV0qmEEBT6NyA https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn7lavsPdVGV0qmEEBT6NyA AWE Me - pros making amazing weapons, nice quick format - https://www.youtube.com/user/AweMeChannel https://www.youtube.com/user/AweMeChannel Alain Vaillancourt - check out his workshop build - https://www.youtube.com/user/lgosseuxdbois https://www.youtube.com/user/lgosseuxdbois Shop Time/Peter Brown - does crazy projects - https://www.youtube.com/user/kludge1977 https://www.youtube.com/user/kludge1977 Make - maker channel, features lots of guys from other popular channels making stuff, and their own stuff - https://www.youtube.com/user/makemagazine https://www.youtube.com/user/makemagazine Slingshot Channel/Joerg Sprave - makes all kinds of crazy gadgets with wood - https://www.youtube.com/user/JoergSprave https://www.youtube.com/user/JoergSprave --- Anyway, that is more than enough to get started (I have a couple dozen more). I didn't find all these guys at once, they will mention each other, and provide links in the description.
