    What YouTube channels do you subscribe to? 2014 Edition

    My list has changed a lot since the last thread. Many of the channels were shitty, and I've since unsubbed a lot of them. I've added some quality channels as well. I'm still not totally satisfied with what I've got. Some nights I'll scroll through recent uploads and find nothing I'm interested in.

    Some of the channels I unsubbed were interesting from time to time, but blew up my feed with frequent updates that I wasn't that into. KhanAcademy is an example of this. Some channels shifted their content offerings, such as Tested, which used to feature Adam Savage making shit in his workshop, but shifted to boring podcasts with some insufferable asian dork. America's Test Kitchen used to have some cool cooking tutorials, but now they've got some kind of TV deal and content-lock their shit. Sometimes I'd subscribe to a channel after seeing 1 awesome video, then find that subsequent videos weren't as great.

    I added a bunch of channels over the last year to learn more about visual effects and filmmaking, and I have learned a ton since then. I still watch a lot of that stuff. The rest are mostly poker people that rarely upload anything (but I keep them on just because) and entertaining science/math/physics shows. I'd like to broaden my horizons a bit.

    Anyway, here's my current list. I'd love to trim the fat on this and add some new stuff. What are you guys watching?

     

    Aunty Chardonnay - Sarah Grant of PokerNews
    Bart Hanson - Poker pro, sometimes uploads podcasts.
    BluffMagVideos - Duh.
    Ch-Ch-Check It - Interesting After Effects tutorials, but insufferable personality. Considering unsubbing.
    Chris67132 - Does Civ4 playthroughs sometimes. Shut up.
    Cinemassacre - The Angry Video Game Nerd. Rarely does AVGN eps anymore, and often does shitty top 10s and "let's play"s with his annoying friend. Considering unsubbing.
    Daniel Negreanu - Does rants from time to time.
    DNews - Pop science. Recent addition, may or may not keep.
    DRybes - Worked with him on a project once, though he turned out to be kind of a jealous hater.
    Film Riot - VFX, filmmaking tips, entertaining format. One of my favorite subs.
    Frank Op de Woerd - Poker media, cool guy.
    FroggyFreshRap - GOD
    Indy Mogul - Film making tips, geared toward low-budget stuff.
    JaredHuggins
    Jay WhoJedi Newnum
    Katie Dozier
    lacigreen - Does a show about sexuality and relationships. May unsub as I don't watch it much anymore.
    magicgatheringstrat - MTGO playthroughs. Shut up.
    Marco Valerio
    Numberphile - Mathmeticians describe interesting concepts in laymens terms. One of my favorite subs.
    Pop Music
    Popular on YouTube - Worldwide
    QuadJacksdotcom
    Roberto Blake - Tutorials on Photoshop and Illustrator
    rootboneradio - Group of poker pros that occasionally do a podcast. They're responsible for the infamous Jungleman ice-cream stories.
    Sarah Albright
    sickanimation - Weird cartoons and music videos.
    singingbanana - One of the guys from Numberphile.
    Sixty Symbols - Physicists talk physics. From the creator of Numberphile.
    TheMicrosPoker
    thevfxbro - Another annoying After Effects guy. Considering unsubbing.
    Veritasium - Well produced show about science and physics. He also made a very popular video exposing Facebook advertising fraud.
    Video Copilot - After Effects tutorials. My favorite in this category, this pretty much built my foundation in AE
    Vsauce - Difficult to describe. Covers science and curiosities of the world in a very cool style. One of my favorite subs.

    Okay, I just checked, and I'm surprised that I'm actually subscribed to something. So I'll set the bar really low:

    That's it, just one.

    Vice did an interesting documentary on him. Incidentally, that's another channel I recently unsubbed.



    I believe that's wood glue he's drinking in the thumbnail.

    Most of those channels update infrequently. I usually watch stuff on YouTube/Netflix for 1-2 hours before bed, and there's rarely enough stuff in my subscription feed to fill that time.

    My job is indeed a 9-5, except when I'm on the road and it's a 12-2.

    Fuck You Tube for removing the info about how long the video is. I use that number to determine if I even want to invest a few seconds of my time before clicking, and NOW, I have to click on the video, see how long the video is, and if its long, I immediately bail on it.

    assholes.
