thread of youtubers whomst are not terrible

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!

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.
