This is probably my favorite youtube channel.

If categorized very roughly, Primitive Technology would be the best in it's wide category for me. But I cannot say it is the best channel for me among Vsauce, Kurzgesgt, CrashCourse, and many others.

  Yeah, there is an awful lot of really fantastic content produced on YouTube now. It's getting to the point where there is so much quality that discovery of it all is getting hard. In the spirit of your answer, I would say these other channels are also outstanding in their categories: Any of Brady Haran's (Numberphile/Sixty Symbols/Objectivity etc) Fully Charged Show (electric vehicles/renewable energy) Nick Carver (film photography) Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics (watch a few to grok the style) Kevin Mullins (Fuji users photography and more) Explaining Computers (hard to categorise, that's why it's good) There are many many many more but I think most of those are really widely known, perhaps some of the above aren't quite as widely watched and they're very worth it.

    Highly recommend Technology Connections for old tech.

Buy him a coffee each time he releases a video: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=2945881 https://www.patreon.com/user?u=2945881 (I have no particular connection to the channel or Patreon, I just like that I can support this channel because I also love it!)

  Man I love that Patreon exists. Just by the collective weight of $1-2 donations, this guy can support himself just by making these videos. $6k per video isn't amazing, but it ain't too shabby either. We live in wondrous times.

  I agree! I give him $10/month as long as he releases any video.

Survival Skills Primitive is a very similar channel (not as high quality, but more quantity) that has some interesting videos.

  It wasn't until I cared to look that I found that there's an entire cottage industry of people making similar videos. I wish there was time to watch them all.
