Ben Eater is without a doubt in my top 10 youtubers. His videos are so in-depth and explained in such a great way that I come away learning huge amounts every time he posts. I’m sure a lot of this stuff is basic to people here, but to a software guy, I’ve found his channel invaluable for understanding how computers work at an electronics level and also just wildly fascinating.

    I would add thesignalpath and mikeselectricstuff to the list. Much more advanced, but very good to learn professional PCB design

  Applied Science channel is worth mentioning.

  Louis Rossmann does in depth component level Macbook motherboard repairs and circuitry explanations. If you're into good (and comedic) explanation on mechanical stuff, I highly recommend AvE and This Old Tony.

I think a big part of it is that he goes out of his way to explain everything relevant, and to not gloss over any details. Most other people doing similar would gloss over those details without even realizing it.

I love this type of material - I was exposed to some of it in college and found it to be extremely valuable to me during my software career. It completely changed my approach to troubleshooting.

What a wonderful time for democratized independent media when one of your top ten YouTubers isn't even in my list of 30 subscriptions. YouTube has been my _sole_ video source for years and I'm still discovering incredibly high quality creators for very specific topics.
