My favorite channel on Youtube is called Mouse Trap Monday.
It was created by a gentleman named Shawn Woods. He has a barn with mice and rats and he tests different kinds of mouse traps. Everything from the classic snap-traps to home made water bucket traps. He posts new videos several times a week. Not just Mondays. People from all around the world send him traps to test in his barn that he films with a motion-activated camera. Youtube restricts what he can show. They no longer allow the actual "killshot" for fear it may offend people! Check it out.
Sick. And not in the modern "good" sense of the word. Get help.
I watch a lot of YouTube – some favorites, in addition to live news feeds/events, are:
Vets Ranch – really wonderful vets who save near death animals from shelters and perform all of the necessary medical and surgical procedures to get them healthy and into “forever” homes.
PJtheKick and KickthePJ (2 channels) – imaginative UK guy with a wonderfully offkilter imagination.
Jim Lee – renowned comic-book artist, writer, editor, and publisher who posts very long live video feeds while he draws, inks, and completes comic book art.
R Cody Wanner – very smart and sincere daily vlogger.
CoasterForce – as might be expected lots of first person videos of roller coaster rides all over the world.
Nerdwriter1 – insights on lots of cultural subjects: movies, politics, communication.
Timestorm Films – very beautiful 4k videos of nature and objects.
Baking with Josh and Ange – the actress Angela Kinsey (“The Office”) and her hunky husband cook in their home kitchen for family and friends.
SORTEDFood – I enjoy the energy of these UK chefs and cooks.
OxfordUnion – great talks and discussions with all sorts of thinkers, pop culture stars, politicians, business mavens, authors, actors, philosophers, etc.
Gaius Thompson – vlogger from UK – a gymnast with the British national team who vlogs his life as a professional gymnast and photographer/videographer. Charisma to spare – very sincere and heartfelt vlogs, and his vids are always gorgeously shot and feature his family and fellow teammates often up to hijinks.
I have to mention this one: ex SEAL Don Shipley, who is a really pissed off guy about people committing Stolen Valor and does something about it; calling them up, even showing up to where they live.

Because of Youtube interference, most of the videos are now on his website for paid subscribers. New ones on Youtube are now typically edited highlights. You have to go a couple years back to find what old ones Youtube didn't delete.
Just wait until you find the one where some jackwagon talks crap about a well known SEAL (I can't recall his name off hand); turns out Don and his wife are friends with the guy and calls up the SEAL and that's when it gets even better.
JEEZ! I just remembered the one that is my absolute FAVORITE on youtube..... "Ultimate Dog Tease"! I haven't watched that in months... going to watch it right now!
Red Dead Redemption 2 Fails and Bloopers - i don't have a PS4 or the game, but intend to get it. This is just a reel of people who have played it and had daft things happen. Some are glitches but others are random in game things that are funny. A man getting butted off a cliff by a goat made me laugh out loud.
Payless Shoes setup a phony store in L.A. (Palessi) and sold shoes that normally run $20 - $40 in their retail stores, but marked up hundreds of $ more, and suckered many "Influencers", whom raved about the shoes.

And because of Youtube/Google's never-ending drive to destroy all entertainment that doesn't conform to their views, the don Shipley Youtube channel confronting and reporting on people committing stolen valor, has been removed entirely from the site.
The Youtube Ban Nazis have been hard at work. This time they claimed another victim: a lady who lives in Alaska who had a channel called Pam Aus.
Here crime? Beats the hell out of me. Her videos consisted of: Filming eagles, her cats, and foxes when she got home from work, from her porch.
No swearing, no copyrighted material, just taking cutesy about the animals and filming them.
Now her channel has been, if you click on it, terminated by Youtube.
There are a handful of websites that seems to be working hard at alienating their viewing audience or banning the users for either no infractions, vague rules, made up rules, or just blaming an "algorithm".
Animals eating other animals. Not chasing... EATING. The chase is over.
RPG sessions (Critical Role, Acquisitions Inc, Nerdarchy, Dawnforged, etc). I'd prefer to see other groups using many other, different systems than just D&D. Can I get even a little GURPS or Call of Cthulhu or Numenera love up in that piece?
RPG lessons on GMing, playing, world building, alternate rulings, etc.
Boardgame reviews and playthroughs (Dice Tower, Man vs. Meeple, Sit Down and Shut Up, Rahdo Runs Through It, 3-Minute Boargame Reviews.... but not Undead Viking, good GOD not him!)
Epic Rap Battles (even though I think they're done).
John Oliver (since I don't have HBO).
Obscure 70s and 80s tunes.
I'm falling into the rabbit hole that is Extra Credits. Occasionally, I check in with Lost In Vegas as they listen to metal classics for the first time.
Actually I like watching videos of really big things hitting other big things. And big tech failures (so long as nobody gets killed.) I enjoy watching cruise ships hit each other, hitting docks, running aground, failing to launch... It feels less guilty than Russian dash cam crashes. (Although I do like that 11 foot 8 bridge compilation!)
My wife and I like: - Justin Scarred's eclectic Randomland theme park videos, - experiencing obscure tech vicariously through Mat Taylor's Techmoan reviews, - Tim's Grand Illusions retro toy reviews (which are sweet and nostalgic), and - Mike Mozart's bluntly irrevereent toy reviews
- Tim's Grand Illusions retro toy reviews (which are sweet and nostalgic), and
He has a collection of everything!
Watching his channel made me buy one of those sand/water pictures. It's here on the desk at work right now, morphing into an alien, post-apocalyptic landscape.
