What is Youtube content that you consider really interesting?

I'm sorry in advance that I am overly chatty. I always have been, and that shows.

If I'm alone and have some time to spare, YouTube becomes a real rabbit hole to me. Literally any interest will have literally hundreds of hits and links to other things which might be of interest, which in itself will also have hundreds of links to things. I literally discovered I have Asperger's from a YouTube link in my feed. Then I did a search to find out more and watched dozens and dozens more videos before looking at other sources and asking my psychiatrist and psychologist to line me up for testing. Literally forty-odd years of "professional help" and no one even considered this until I watched a YouTube video and insisted on testing.

Anyway, back to subject. If you're an oldschool Comedy fan, there is a 2 hour block of great off-the-cuff comments from Paul Lynde on 70's game shows titled "paul lynde zingers 1":
which, of course, has a link to another 50 minutes worth titled "paul lynde zingers 2".

I play Guitar and I have found an endless supply of tutorial videos that actually have great useful information for every level of player from beginners to advanced players. Due to a depression slump I had stopped playing for about 7 years and decided to re-learn from scratch using all correct methods (which I may not have been using previously). With YouTube you have literally an endless supply of teachers who are giving you the lessons for free or the basics of their lessons with the option to pay for more detailed information if you need it (which I don't). I currently like watching a brilliant player and teacher "BERNTH". I was great at most styles of picking, but I never got proficient at sweep picking and his lessons have been a great help after all my years of trial and failure:
His teaching method just seems to click with me. He also has some humorous videos about guitar that are fun to watch. I also like song lessons with tablatures. Massive time saver from the old days of trying to locate a specific guitar magazine with the song you want and then actually getting it somehow or trying to dissect the song yourself, which sometimes can get some bad results.

I have always loved Kaleidoscopes. There are dozens of pages dedicated to computer generated kaleidoscopes with nice relaxing music to zone out or meditate to, like this one:
or the similar fractal zooming:

There are also a crazy amount to great history documentaries if that's your thing. I like Timeline: https://www.youtube.com/c/TimelineChannel It is much better than History Channel, which has some good content but seems to have less and less actual history every year. The links on any history video will show a lot of other history pages as well.

Music Videos are everywhere on YouTube. Most bands or their record companies now post all of their videos on YouTube, and if they haven't - a couple fans (or 20) probably have. I have found literally 99% of the music videos that I have ever searched for.

Classic TV. I enjoy both classic shows and old time commercials and if you want a real feel for the way people originally viewed some shows there are are shows WOC (with original commercials) like this Tonight Show from 1968:
or the great show Linus the Lion Hearted, which has never been released on home video: Linus the Lionhearted: Complete cartoon with ORIGINAL COMMERCIALS

And let's not forget the great Joe Rogan and his page "Powerful JRE": https://www.youtube.com/c/joerogan Joe is an amazing interviewer who really does get information from guests no one else ever had. And there is Russell Brand and his cut and dry, well researched (and usually humorous) daily news that the powers that be don't want talked about, and without a bias forced on you (in fact, he actually wants people's opinions and differing views posted in the comments, which he and his team actually read) I may not agree with his stand on "not voting" at all, but I like that he and his team successfully research, with literally one recent exception, a lot of questionable information and post it on a platform that wants all of this subject matter banned, but can't because it's more accurate (and shows its proven sources) than their fake fact-checkers.

Literally any subject matter you can think of has a video or 10,000 on YouTube (with the exception of actual porn).

 
lately videos on the 2022 Nobel Prize in physics, new ones almost every day, looks like the dam has finally broken after physics got stuck for over a hundred years. Bell's theorem, makes sense, Einstein was wrong about locality.
