Truthfully, I have about 140.
The only gaming channels I do are Cinemassacre, Mike Matei (he used to co-run Cinemassacre during its first 10 years or so), and Resonant Arc (they do book reports for games). I’d do more, but I can’t stand them. I find the majority of them are almost exactly like the type of emotionally unhinged sorts that AVGN satirizes - guys losing their shit over the most trivial news… You know the sort of channels, those that feature the face of the presenter with an exaggerated expression to show you what type of sober-yet-acting-drunk-as-fuck type reaction they’re going to give.
Most others are documentary type channels on nature, archaeology, history, or science - especially now that the whole “Omigod, Gobekli Tepe is a colony of Atlantis and/or aliens!” silliness has mostly died back now that people are accepting the Graham Hancock’s of the world are grifters trying to sell books.
In science related stuff, I haven’t really subscribed to anything new in the past couple of years because there are a ton of AI spun channels clogging up things recently. Many of them have weird generic names, the same voice, usually just spitting out random related info over a series of stolen video-clips from real channels like John Michael Godier/Event Horizon/John and Isaac Arthur who bank the creation of original footage for their channels - these AI channels often stick a photo of one of the popular science figures (like Neil Degrasse Tyson, Brian Cox, Michio Kaku, Dawkins, or Penrose) in the thumbnail with some kind of click bait title, and then don’t really elaborate on the topic.
Other than that, I like wildlife related channels, and documentaries about wildlife and natural history.
I don’t do many political channels, because everyone is always angry about the stupidest most trivial shit. Which is kind of ironic considering one of the two channels I listen to is LBC - particularly James O’Brien, who is always angry…. Even when he’s happy he’s angry.
Oh, and Fail Army. :D
