U-Tube following

I am currently subscribed to 38 U-Tube channels, of them, I will list the top 22. Within parentheses after each channel name are the current number of subscribers as of the time of posting this blog. The channels are ordered from low to high subscribers.

Roadster Tracker - Ben Pearson (3720) Ben has really interesting videos about the space industry. He hasn't many followers, and his videos aren't very slick, but he does good research and brings to light information about the space industry that I would likely have a hard time putting together.

zentouro (9590) I just came across this one recently. The person making this video is quick speaking and has very insightful short episodes that mostly deal with the climate crisis.

Cruising Off Duty (32300) A couple who live in the Ottawa area who are planning to retire in a catamaran but at the moment have a sailboat ported in Kingston.

Gilles pis La P'tite (59700) I heard the two women in this channel interviewed on the radio and when I started watching their videos I was awed by the friendship they have with each other.

The Sailing Frenchmen (103000) When I first started following him he was a solo sailor, recently he has switched to focus more on sail-racing.

MJ Sailing (127000) Can you tell I am interested in sailing? Here's a couple that have been doing a great job of filming/editing. Soon they'll be building a catamaran from a kit.

Kurtis Baute (174000) Kurtis is an environmental activist on the west coast of Canada. He has built a plant watering machine that drops one drop of water whenever he gets a subscriber. One of his videos went viral and it ended up flooding his plant area.

Ghost Town Living (180000) I found his channel from Digg; he lives at Cerro Gordo and is planning on turning this ghost town into a tourist place. It was deeply saddening when one of the most interesting buildings in the ghost town burned down. Fortunately, he has the original architect plans and he intends on rebuilding as close to how it was as possible.

Sailing Uma (275000) Another sailing channel, their boat has a Canadian flag.

Adam Bobrow (325000) Adam travels all over the world to play table-tennis with different people; I find this a very entertaining channel. I miss playing this game and wish I could play it on a regular basis.

Julie Nolke (593000) Julie makes comedic videos that she is usually the principal and also the secondary characters. Her videos are slickly edited.

Cheddar (663000) This channel has a number of different presenters; they have sections like 'Cheddar Explains', 'Cheddar Explores', 'Cheddar Examines' into a variety of different topics. Their videos are very crisp and well explained.

Lindsay Ellis (1010000) Lindsay is an author and she takes on current affair issues, sometimes from a literary perspective.

Jelle's Marble Runs (1260000) I learned about this channel from 'Last Week Tonight' and have enjoyed watching the races.

Physics Girl (1690000) Dianna does such an amazing job of bringing Physics to light; she is super enthusiastic and excited about sharing Physics with everyone.

Rick Beato (1800000) While I haven't any music background whatsoever, Rick's videos are a delight as he is so into presenting the songs. I especially like his series called 'What Makes This Song Great' where he dissects a song to really share with us what it is about the song that makes it a great song.

Simone Giertz (2270000) Simone just has a special way about her, in how she delivers her videos, all charming and odd. Her reaction at the Tesla truck reveal was really telling.

OffTheRanch (3800000) In particular I binged on the 'Abandoned Mansion' playlist where he has bought an abandoned mansion and is fixing it up.

Seeker (4530000) Has a number of presenters and is mostly science based.

Vox (8640000) From their own description: Vox helps you cut through the noise and understand what's driving events in the headlines and in our lives.

ASAP Science (9420000) Two Torontonians who present some really slick science videos. They are a great team and have really fun educational and interesting videos.

MrBeast (43000000) Mr Beast has so many subscribers that he has managed to accumulate tons of money that he mostly just gives away. In particular, I enjoyed him giving money to online gamers.

Perhaps some day, a few months from now, or maybe next year, I'll revisit this list and see how the subscriber counts have changed; or, if there are any that I've dropped off this list, or any new ones that I've added.
