my youtube recommendations

I watch a lot of youtube. Like a lot. Far more than TV, netflix, or movies. I'm always looking for ways to find good stuff to watch and new channels to subscribe to since youtube recommendations haven't been worth a damn in quite some time.

Since I'm often mentioning interesting things I've watched I've had a few friends recently ask me for channel suggestions so here we go. My first listicle! In no particular order here are a bunch of youtube channels that I find interesting.
