I have used youtube for a while now. I used to be a 3D artist so I went there every now and then to post my work and to watch other's. After I went back to college, I remember looking at youtube with another eyes, after discovering how many amazing videos were uploading. and for free. Ben was one of them. I remeber seeing him build a entire computer on breadboard and it just blew me away. not only he was building it but explaining everything while doing it. after that I started following some great people in electronics, art, computer science, math... it truly made me a better person / programmer.

I'd love to hear some suggestions. I've been told the YouTube algorithm essentially rewards content creators for quantity over quality. Ben Eater seems to only post once a month but every single video is exceptionally high quality. I've followed his videos from making logic gates with individual components, through making a whole computer with breadboards to the current series of programming a breadboard computer. Each video is so pared back and well explained. It really dawned on me when he recently started discussing assembly and it just seemed like such a high level language.
