Steve C asked<\/a> a question last week<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Shamus, what Youtube channels do you watch?<\/p>\n

I remember you mentioning on the Diecast that you don't watch TV anymore. That your recreational TV time has been replaced by Youtube. Personally I wish I could do that. There's just not enough of stuff on Youtube I want to watch. Except I know that I'm wrong. With a few million years worth of content on Youtube I know that there has to be more than stuff on there that I'd like, I've just never found it.<\/p>\n

So I'm curious what non-TV options you fill your time with.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s not completely true that I don’t watch television. That’s only mostly<\/em> true. There’s exactly one traditionally big-media show that I’m into. I’ll talk about that at the end of this post<\/del> series. The rest of my passive entertainment comes from YouTube.<\/p>\n

Here’s a list of the channels that I’m into these days. We’ll start with the ones of mild interest and work our way up to the channels that I never miss and which have have remained engaging through repeated archive binges. For each channel I’ll list a “viewing suggestion”, which is one particular video that’s either remarkably good, a personal favorite, or a suitable starting point for new viewers.<\/p>\n

And yes, the title of this post is a lie. This is not remotely the “best” of YouTube. But “The Stuff I Happen To Watch On YouTube Because I Subscribed Six Months Ago And I’m Too Lazy To Unsubscribe And Besides It’s Mostly Pretty Good” isn’t as catchy.<\/p>\n
