What are some niche YouTube channels that you watch? - lemm.ee

For me I really do enjoy watching some of the Locking picking lawyers content and he is an expert when it comes to picking locks! Another few are mental outlaw (although I think everyone knows of him here) and Steven Bridges who makes videos on card counting at casinosannd he shows how much he wins/loses from playing

bobby fingers. You're welcome :D
Wow…that last hour just flew by …and if you disagree, I’ll find out where you live, get some locally sourced dog poop and push it through your letter slot.
Bobb fingers is also one half of the Irish musical comedy duo Rubberbandits. they’ve done some TV stuff and their music and wit is great.
If you want something like lock picking lawyer but longer, check out wristwatch revival
And Nico for small bits of high-energy watch enthusiasm sprinkled in. Be warned though, he’s a bit rough around the edges.
His voice is just soooo soothing!
I have zero interest in watches, but I’ll watch him any day
Not that much of a horror fan, but actually enjoying Jordan Persegati turning Disney coloring books into works of horror.
If your into wood epoxy tables, check out blacktail studio
Blacktail Studio

I’m Cam, the owner of Blacktail Studio. I started woodworking in 2016 as a hobby. Eventually I realized my hobby was expensive, so I tried selling some items to sustain it. Then I thought I might be able to help find customers if I made a video or two on the process. So in 2018 I launched my YouTube channel. This led to that, and in 2020 I quit my job to do this woodworking youtuber thing full time. Best decision I ever made though, I hope you enjoy following along!

Ronald Finger AKA Fingerprints Workshop

His videos on restoring a 1985 Fiero got me hooked. His video subject matter and editing style are interesting and fun.

His quirky humor and attitude is adictive.
Looking forward to every episode

I’m not sure how niche this is too this crowd but I love Techmoan. Especially when he covers obscure media formats.

I love Techmoan. All his videos are like “here’s a 45 minute video on a non-working tape deck from an old airplane that I got on ebay” and I’m captivated every time.
That or japanese Yahoo auctions.

I recently discovered Ben Eater, his videos about how computer hardware works are really interesting
I built a breadboard computer by following his series. Was super fun to put together, and makes for a great conversation starter (whether people like it or not).
I have a friend who built one and every time he talks about it we pull up that gif of a guy talking to a wall
Lmao that’s exactly the vibe.

Techless does very good review on Monitors and other tech

The Headphone Show is great for headphone and audio content

If you want to watch a burly man with dry humor try and fix a car, sight unseen, then drive it home over 300+ miles with questionable breaks and engine. Then this is you YouTube show for you. Recently he got picked up for a TV show but his past YouTube videos are really good. He recently moved to Tennessee from Wisconsin(?) but he still travels across the country finding old cars to bring them back to life.

It’s a great show to teach you the basics on getting an engine or car to run.

It’s also a great show for changing a fellers vocabulary. I now call hammers Tanya hardings
Junkyard Digs is another good option along the lines of VGG.
Not sure how niche you want but I watch Restore and Replay: Video Game Preservation. Ilike hearing him talk and learned how to save some old dvds I had around

Machining and Microwaves really interesting videos about machining radio components, and design concepts and machineing footage, with some neet backstory for many of them.
Machining and Microwaves

Machining and Microwave/mmWave Radio experiments. Spy devices. 3D printed antennas. I design and make parts for experimental radio systems, scientific equipment and talk about unusual and cutting-edge topics related to high frequency electronics, antenna systems, waveguides, combiners, cavities, filters, digital comms, CAD, E-M simulation tools and microwave circuit design. I hold a licence which lets me transmit between 136 kHz and 1 THz. I carry out experiments including RF, plasma, high voltage, hard vacuum, precision machining, metrology and electrochemistry. I've worked with commercial sponsors to produce collaborative vids on specific products and services within my subject area and welcome business enquiries. I've also appeared on BBC2 TV with Prof Hannah Fry, demonstrating my replica of the Great Seal Bug spying device.

JasperRLZ and Displaced gamers g game the ideas and concepts about programming video games really interesting
Really niche, but i can recommend the connections museum. Really nice breakdowns of how very easy telephone switches and networks worked.
I watched that Coyote whatever his name was that gets bit by bugs on purpose, but then he click baited me and didn’t get bit one video. It was a short and sweet relationship and it could have kept going if he just let the bug bite him a little bit.

Lockpicking Lawyer is great.

I also love:

  • ElectroBOOM – for learning about electricity whilst giggling at his mishaps
  • Gutsick Gibbon – for anthropology and busting creationism in the sweetest way
  • 12tone – excellent analysis of modern music, immensely educational and fun
  • Casual Geographic – zoology facts made fun
  • Dominic Noble – highly insightful and critical book and movie reviews
  • MertKayKay – detailed critical game analyses from a UXD perspective , and some movie/tv reviews, too
  • NeverKnowsBest – very in-depth game reviews and industry analyses
  • PBS Space Time – popular sci
  • Professor Dave Explains – lots of educational topics, and his F/E and creationist takedowns are a guilty pleasure
  • TodePond – creative coding
  • United States Holocaust Memorial Museum – interviews with survivors and presentations, lest we forget
  • Stanford Online – full lectures on many subjects, free to watch

PBS Space Time

I’d recommend PBS Storied as well! It has a compilation of a few segments like Monsterum (folklore), Otherwords (etymology), Fate and Fabled (mythology), and more

Ooh thanks. Subscribed.
I like PBS Eons, about paleontology.
Seconding NeverKnowsBest, excellent stuff
I’ve discovered OneShortEye. He covers the speedrunning history of old point-and-click adventure games. I’m not particularly interested in speedrunning myself, but I’m just amazed at all the things I’ve missed in games that I’ve spent so many hours on. And the production quality is just insane for a one-man-show.
OneShortEye

After speedrunning classic PC adventure games, I realized that if anyone was going to make speedrun documentaries about our community, I couldn't wait for anyone else to do it. In the summer of 2020, I released the world record history of King's Quest, and I've been making speed docs ever since. I currently focus on retro PC adventure games like King's Quest and Quest for Glory. As time goes on, I may branch out, but my interest is finding passionate, smaller communities.

I’m recently really into Cracking The Cryptic, it’s two British guys solving daily variant sudoku and other hardcore puzzles.

Two Minutes Papers by some Hungarian AI scientist, where he discusses new papers in the field.

Michael Penn is a guy solving math olympiad problems while doing backflips.

Cracking The Cryptic is amazing. Their videos are so interesting to watch.
They also have great sudoku apps. They’re not free but there are no ads and they come with a lot of great puzzles.

I discovered a channel called ‘Just Alex’ a few days ago, and I’ve binge-watched most of his videos. He makes videos about a variety of activities he engages in. For example, two years ago, he started beekeeping as a hobby. In these videos, he shows the progress he has made since then, taking care of his bees and harvesting their honey.

He also has videos on collecting mushrooms, growing crops, and traveling around Europe.

What I like about him is how calming his videos are and the amount of effort he puts into making them interesting, without resorting to clickbait content.

Imperor - mostly long videos playing and teaching Paradox games (currently mainly Crusader Kings 3), but the guy has that kind of voice I like to have just running in the background for comfort, so that works out. Recently started to do some interesting DND/TTRPG stuff as well like little guides for DMs and even quests to put into games. Also looks at smaller games from time to time during steam next fests and such.
Imperor

Longform content of uncut gameplay. Mainly grand strategy and 4x, but branching out into content for ttrpgs. Sometimes there will be guides. I aim to get people into more complicated and "difficult" games such as Crusader Kings.
