Ok, let's do this. What are good YouTube channels that you watched (or still watch) because they're fun to watch, but you also ended up learning from them?
Only recommendations from people born this century are allowed

Include a link to the YouTube channel, what it's about, and why you liked it. And tag others who could add to the list. Younger kids deserve better recommendations than the ones from the previous century.
YouTube for youngsters: Epic Rap Battles of History. This did more for @ArshKabra's history knowledge than ICSE History ever did.
I grew up reading Ya Perelman's books but never could get the kids interested in reading them. ASAP Science came to the rescue. https://twitter.com/arshkabra/status/1310100578240851968
"Watch for the X, stay for the science", is certainly a theme for this thread, where X = entertainment, animation, rap, irreverence and more https://twitter.com/arshkabra/status/1310100580438736896
Both @ArshKabra and @david_perell recommend @TheCrashCourse. That's triangulation from two ends of the spectrum. https://twitter.com/arshkabra/status/1310100582510653440
Science and maths aren't the only subjects that kids can or should learn from YouTube. Here's ...ahem... screenplay writing? https://twitter.com/arshkabra/status/1310100584591097863
Is mechanics your thing? I feel jealous when I see all the animations and slow-motion videos explaining mechanics. So much easier to learn, and you can focus on higher level things. https://twitter.com/gauravjoshi2000/status/1310106568277413888
More physics and engineering recommendations from Gaurav. https://twitter.com/gauravjoshi2000/status/1310106959601741824
Wide variety of science topics from @veritaserum https://twitter.com/gauravjoshi2000/status/1310107168255795200
Warning: I suggest watching only channels recommended by sensible people
DO NOT TRUST THE YOUTUBE RECOMMENDATION ALGORITHM. There be monsters.
Read this if you want to get scared: I suggest watching only https://twitter.com/Myd/status/1310100726958510081

Because @anujdeshpande whined about the adults being excluded, I'm allowing recommendations from older people. All such recommendations will be tagged #olderpeople
Which means all recommendations *not* tagged #olderpeople are from verified 21st century sources. https://twitter.com/AbhijeetKatte1/status/1310100980130668544

I think Rohan just missed the Y2K deadline, so he is technically #olderpeople but close enough that you can give him the benefit of doubt.
It would be difficult to find a modern machine without motors, so this seems like a good topic to explore https://twitter.com/mrohanshah/status/1310104095957479425

As I said just a few weeks ago, all science and maths should be taught using @3blue1brown style animations. And the recommendations in this thread are a step in that direction. https://twitter.com/tantanoooooo/status/1310105506531352577
Is it F1 you seek? I guess the answer is yes for some of you... https://twitter.com/gauravjoshi2000/status/1310108502413643776
#oldpeople recommendations. Quite a selection here: Geography, Restorations, Wildlife, and Well-being https://twitter.com/anujdeshpandey/status/1310112780410736641
Was totally not expecting a youngster to recommend @RayDalio, but here we are. https://twitter.com/GoyankaParth/status/1310114843328880641
#oldpeople recommendation: but a channel on space tech sounds interesting. And another vote for @veritasium which also showed up in @ArshKabra's recommendations. https://twitter.com/marvelousmukesh/status/1310117730247274496
If you watched any YouTube videos because of recommendations from this thread, please let me know. Closing the feedback loop is important in tracking quality.
