youtube recommendations

like three months ago i got positive feedback about sharing my favorite youtubers and now i thought i would finally follow through! i’ve been watching a lot of different types of channels at this stage in quarantine. all the recommendations are below the cut because this got long. i watch all of these channels (some more frequently than others) and enjoy them. if you have any questions, recommendations or want some videos in particular, let me know!

the categories i’m recommending are: lifestyle, comedy/commentary, educational/news, film and tv writing/analysis, beauty, photography and more.

lifestyle/beauty

melanie murphy - one of the few youtubers where i hate to miss a video. bisexual irish author who is sex positive and speaks openly about a variety of topics including food and overcoming eds, relationships, culture, beauty, etc.

shaaanxo - my favorite “beauty guru” is this kiwi. i love her style and her looks and i feel like her reviews are really fair and honest. not a professional makeup artist and has practiced and improved after years. (i also enjoy her vlog channel.)

abookutopia - booktuber/lifestyle channel that i’ve been following for...6 or 7 years? very positive and uplifting and i was definitely living vicariously through her scotland vlogs from a couple years ago.

cammie scott - lots of beauty content as well as vlogs. her femme lesbian videos are probably my faves.

jerianie - finnish lifestyle youtuber/photographer/animator. such nice vibes from her content.

elena taber - she typically makes a lot of lifestyle and travel content but this has obviously shifted during the pandemic (so casual...you know, just the pandemic).

just between us - been a fan of them for years. fun and funny discussions.

alayna joy - i can’t say i watch every video but she has a really sweet personality and posts a lot of sexuality content.

jessie b - lifestyle, sexuality content, vlogs, exercise and more. melanie murphy’s sister and their collabs are the best.

arden rose - again, i mostly watch her videos that seem interesting or when i just want something on in the background, but she also has a nice vibe and shares makeup and looots of lifestyle content.

violin md - this one is so random but technically lifestyle...day in the life of a medical resident! so fascinating to me.

comedy/commentary

tom harlock - such a dry and dark sense of humor and every single video genuinely makes me laugh out loud at least once.

drew gooden - he reminds me a lot of john mulaney in demeanor and comedy and he also always gets a laugh and provides a nice perspective in his commentary videos.

strange aeons - i love this lesbian. her tumblr deepdives are favorites and ones i think anyone here would appreciate but honestly all her videos are really funny.

cody ko - pretty famous and his commentary videos are generally funny. i don’t watch every video but sometimes i’m in the mood for his over the top editing and funny commentary. if you watch anything by him, check out his girl defined videos. they’re hilarious.

alex meyers - a little different from the others because his commentary is all on movies and tv shows (usually bad ones) and is through an animated character, but omg they’re so funny and have made me wanna rewatch some bad movies and shows, so.

casually explained - another cartoon channel and these videos are so short and funny it’s hard not to binge them all in a night.

common nobody - i don’t watch many “tea” channels but this one is probably my favorite, they’re so dry and lowkey funny.

educational/news

philip defranco - my favorite youtube-only news source. fairly unbiased and covers a variety of big stories daily.

ted - classic ted talk channel, can’t really go wrong here, just pick a topic that seems interesting and give it a watch. these are really nice in the background too while you’re doing whatever else. i often play these while i’m giffing or doing homework.

vox - my favorite news org channel probably. fantastic videos and visuals.

crashcourse - i’ve watched these in classrooms and used them to study for tests as well as just learn about a new subject. really nice and really short videos, like 10-20 mins and you learn the basics of a chapter.

scishow - great channel about all things science and tech with some easy to understand explanations and thoughtful scripts.

bbc earth - i love a good nature documentary. especially free ones.

rogue rocket - news from philip defranco’s team. nice deep dives.

the new york times - obvi

buzzfeed unsolved - everyone loves it already but i love a good buzzfeed unsolved episode, especially the true crime ones.

the atlantic - great news/documentary style videos

the following are in the same category, but animation based:

polymatter - fantastic commentary, beautiful graphics and thoughtful scripts. really enjoyed their amazon videos in particular.

ted-ed - animated short videos brought to you by the same people who brought you ted talks...these really make you think and are easy to digest in just 3-10 minute videos about topics from literature to philosophy to tech to science to tv.

kurzgesagt in a nutshell - great animated videos that are very well-researched and beautifully animated. big fan. (also, the videos are in english despite the channel name)

the infographics show - not as well-researched as the others imo but thoroughly entertaining.

film & tv writing + analysis + essays

just write - great video essays about film and tv that really take a deep look into genre, writing, character, etc.

behind the curtain - great film/tv analysis that is heavy on interviews with directors and screenwriters.

jesse tribble - just discovered this channel and am really enjoying it so far. video essays on all types of media, but mainly film and television. very thoughtful.

screenplayed - watch scenes come to life and compare it with the script

thomas flight - another new one. nice video essays about films mainly.

photography

julia trotti - love her aussie accent and her portrait photography is a really nice style. she posts a TON of how-tos and demonstrations, i’ve learned a lot from her videos.

photoshop tutorials - super, super helpful and easy to follow ps tutorials.

jessica kobeissi - photographer. i love her 4 photographers shoot the same model series and her critiques the best probably!

mango street - mostly follow for the tutorials but they have lots of content and collab quite a bit.

other

jubilee - their middle ground, spectrum and odd man out, among other series, are fantastic. very thoughtful and interesting.

cut - known for truth or drink, fear pong, lineup and other series, i love their videos and style a lot.

soulpancake - lovely, thoughtful videos. their tell my story first date videos are some of my faves.

david dobrik - you’ve heard of him and i honestly haven’t watched in months but i know he’s good for getting your mind of shitty things because of his super chaotic vlogs.

vogue - love the beauty routine videos

glamour - they have a mix of reality tv style stuff like cut, beauty, celeb interviews and more.

vlogbrothers - not sure where to put them but they’re a classic and have been putting out thoughtful videos twice a week for like 12+ years.
