For me it is YouTube 100%. I really just used Reddit as a way to kill time. Now I just watch makers doing their thing.

Care to share strong recommendations? Interested in maker spaces, agile, entrepreneurship & prototyping.

Not the parent, but ClickSpring is one of my favorites, though they don’t post much anymore. Also, ThisOldTony. BenEater, TechnologyConnections, Jeff Geerling, GreatScott!, Wintergatan, bigclivedotcom, JK Brickworks, The 8-Bit Guy, and Usagi Electric are more on the tech side of my subscriptions.

It would be great if there was an easier way to share subscriptions.

Wanted to echo the suggestions of ThisOldTony, BenEater, and bigclivedotcom.

ZackFreedman is another good marker, although he can be a bit goofy.

If you like mechanical things in general, both SouthMainAuto and HVACRVIDEOS are fantastic.

If you like ThisOldTony, give InheritanceMachining a shot. Similar explanations of machining, clean shots, regular posts (every 2 weeks), and you can often see him using previous builds when making the next thing.

I grew up with ZackFreedman. We were good friends as kids for a year or two, but then lost touch. Remember hearing vaguely that he had gotten into stuff like this a couple years back.

What a blast from the past! Thanks for sharing.

I’d love to get some recommendations as well

I wish I could find a non google version. Peetube exists but needs more content. I check it often but. ..

Did you mean Peertube?

Peetube would be something very different which, to my surprise, doesn’t exist.

I am heavily addicted to YouTube now that I've curtailed my Reddit use. I get a tremendous amount of value, educationally and professionally. The trouble is that there's no good content filter in place, and a couple of mindless clicks later and I'm in a tidal wave of imbecilic, mind rotting, dopamine-inducing distractions.
