thread of youtubers whomst are not terrible

i watched a TON of charlieBo313 during the pandemic too. it occurred to me that i watched a lot of travel/driving/trains/extreme running videos during the pandemic. which all makes perfect sense now. channels that are just horrible roads around the world and channels for scary tunnels. but anything with lots of distance covered and lots of movement.

i like beard meets food. he's nice. he's pals with randy and katina.

Looks negative and clickbait-y from the thumbnail but that's not the case.

did AdBlock Plus stop working on youtube ads for anyone else?

I've recommended Foresty Forest here at least once before, but I wanted to highlight this recent video of his, which I thought was particularly great. It covers a multi-day hike in the Yukon, so the van content is minimal, but the outdoors stuff and scenery is amazing, and it's lovely to see him clearly having such a fantastic time. Lots of his awesome dog Rocko in it as well.

A fun game, inspired by Wikirace, for people interested in recommender systems: mask your identify from Google and click on YouTube suggestions until you reach a video that _promotes_ a fascistic, authoritarian, or intolerant view. A fun twist is too start with a seemingly innocuous subject.

my sense of fun has not yet evolved to that level!

i will tell you what is fun, though, is spooky stories read in a soothing coombrian accent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UC9o9Vf0G92

Ogmios is now doing weekly Sunday morning football videos from Hackney Marshes, they're a delight:

I was hoping this thread got revived for that new Finnerty vid!

Ricky Finn rides again

I've been enjoying videos of this woman quietly puttering around her cabin in the Finnish forest.. very soothing

this was good if you want to watch Hainbach and Look Mum No Computer bashing out a krautrock synth EP on some weird old gear:

kineko video posts some interesting stuff, this one is probably the most interesting yet... a late '60s/early '70s (i'd guess early '70s based on that heavy fuzz bass track, but it could be '60s) pilot for alice in wonderland, possibly put out by mushipro, with adolf hitler as the voice of the king

‘Jet Lag the Game’ appeared in my recommendations a few times, every time I thought it looked awful because of the irritating thumbnails. But for some reason I ended up watching the first Tag Across Europe and it was surprisingly entertaining, and now I’ve seen every season. Hits just the right balance of a game show / travel / comedy thing. Adam and Ben are a genuinely funny duo.

are there good book youtubers?

i like Liminal Spaces for science fiction reviews

I like Sherdstube, Bookpilled, Rambling Raconteur and Outlaw Bookseller

Humor might be a bit regional but I think these videos are really funny. There are more than a few great lines on them.

Haven't watched the whole video, but how have I never heard of Roar? This is one of the most insane things I've ever seen.

i'm not gonna say pablo foxfeeder is not *not* terrible but for the first time i caught him putting out the evening buffet and it is bonkers as hell, he's putting out dishes of kibble and topping them with sliced ham, ground beef, chunks of raw chicken, dumping cookies/biscuits on top, drizzling it all with honey, topping it off with a few raw eggs, i had no idea his foxes were eating this good

oh he just turned out the lights, foxes oughtta be stopping by soon, i bet there's kits, how much you want to bet there's kits

and there's this snail what was moseying on up to one of the dishes and there's such drama in this. is the snail hungry for meat? will the foxes eat the snail? i can only check in sporadically but this is thrilling to me

foxes are here oh my god

ONE OF THEM IS IF HALF MANGY WOW

LOOKING LIKE A DANG CHUPACABRA UP IN HERE

mama fox (presumably, cuz teats) just trotted off with a mouthful of like 5 lbs of meat, babies gonna feast 2nite
