This is a really good channel, I love it. Her videos are about her life as a homemaker, with no talking, and its so adorable and relaxing and beautifully put together with nice messages about slowing down and appreciating little things in life

Dan Bell. Mix of urban exploration and bleak Americana (awful motels, dying shopping malls).

ABANDONED : Enormous, Untouched, 19th Century Religious School

[pinkybrain]

Good video from Adam Ragusea about the pitfalls of getting stuff wrong on the internet. Quite personal and he talks about some drug abuse issues he had in the past

How I became the Mariah Carey Christmas chord guy (and why I hate it)

His food videos are decent. Some of the recipies have gotten a bit too wacky as of late but his background in journalism means he can make great stuff like these two:

How history changed kitchen design in the American South

George Washington Carver: Bigger than peanuts

YMMV on his screen presence

shiey, an urban explorer of (mostly) Soviet Cold War era bunkers and stuff. Does a couple of trips to Pripyat/Chernobyl also.

No idea why the YouTube algo thought I’d be interested in this, but I’ve been hooked recently. Proceed with caution if you are in any way claustrophobic.

Been enjoying some of these

Defunctland

Short (15-20 minute) videos on defunct stuff. Lots of theme park rides. The Times Square Toys R Us one is good as well.

My 22 year old mate sends me you tubes sometimes. 15 minutes?! As if I’m going to watch all that. Only really use YouTube for music videos/concerts and the log fire.

[JaguarPirate]

Most of my YT watching is 10 min+ vids! Love the format, can get some really interesting stuff in that time frame without it feeling like a whole episode of a TV show or like too much of a commitment. Also watch multiple video essays over 40 mins

Also for 7 second joke videos ofc

As anyone in the gaming thread will know, I am currently enjoying a six hour-long review of a Japanese dating simulator from the 1990s

(pitched down voice) and it is great

Action Button

[jordan_229]

Like this one as most of them are three minutes or less;

Like this guys one too as there’s no talking;

Bullet Train Bentos in Japan

[manches]

Been meaning to watch these for AGES

[harru]

I semi agree with this but there are some really good channels for stuff I am interested in and I’d often much much rather watch 20 minutes of that, than scroll through the TV guide and watch another 20 year old episode of some shite or whatever. Just a case of finding something/someone who you connect with.

[Gnometorious]

I just don’t have the attention span for a 10+min video! Give me a 600 page book or a 6 hour long period drama and I’m all for it, but can’t be doing with these long winded youtubing things.

[Gnometorious]

I just don’t have the time!

[manches]

Should clarify I’m watching in parts before you start justifiably vomiting in disgust at the idea of me wantonly hurling six hours at a single video

[harru]

Yeah you have to find your own stuff I reckon, rarely if ever am I watching a video more than 2 mins long on someone else’s recommendation

[JaguarPirate]

Make time! (not war)

[guntrip]

Been enjoying these lately

I Accidentally Became A Meme: Kombucha Girl

I Accidentally Became A Meme: Ermahgerd

I Accidentally Became A Meme: Hide The Pain Harold

[dingaling]

Yes!! I particularly love the fist pump kid, he and his family were so so lovely.
