Today I'm writting this article to bring you some fresh stuff but also to destroy some clichés. In fact I often hear "meh, YouTube is all about gaming and vlogs, nothing less".
In order to destroy this idea that YouTube is full of dumb stuff and the only channels that wants to be interesting are boring, here are some counter examples. And here are some channels that might interest you!
P.S: There will be French and English channel, but mostly French channles (sorry).
This guy is called Vsauce. His channel is mainly composed of videos about science, physics... but his goal is not to make you bored with explaining things, no, he answers (dumbs or interesting) questions that we all asked ourselves at some point (at least I guess) like "Will we run out of music?", "If we know the speed of light, what is the speed of darkness then?", "why aren't we disgussed by kisses?", etc... This guy is really smart and really know how to make subjects interesting!
Now this fellow gamer and film addict generaly called "MatPat" is animating shows about theorys on film and gaming (you would have never guess that I'm sure). But he doesn't only expose theory, he explains them with math and physics. His videos are really entertaining, you never get bored, trust me.
Le Psylab is a French channel animated by two psychiatrists and they talk mainly about psychiatry (logic). I thought it might be interesting to put them here because it really is an uncommon subject and these guys really know there subjects. Also they are animating a show called "Fovea" which describes how much is a move relevant depending on psychiatry (the last one is on "Inside Out" and it's really good).
It's more than probable that you know Bruce, aka Epenser. Again, he's a french youtuber that mainly talks about physics. To put in a nutshell, he is (to me) Vsacue's French equivalant, and likes to put science in everything (for example, did you know there is a science in the waiting lines?).
Don't trust this profile picture, Leo's channel is called DirtyBiology, and it's eeeeeeverything but cute. Here this guy talks about biology, and things related to it. So he can treat fun subject (for example "Is Darwin's theory of evolution working in the Pokemon world?" or "can we have (naturally) green white bears?")... aaaaaaaand dirty subjects, because biology is not only about animals and trees (like "how can you create a zombie thanks to medecine?").
Here we won't be talking about science, but about curiosity. Axolot's channel is all about curiosity, strange and original things, weird places, or unknown persons that were in fact a big help in hystory. He's not very active but his videos are really good. He also has a blog that should see asap.
Ben from the channel NotaBene talks about history. His main shows are linked with original events or unsual subjects (like the biggest military fails) or even searching if some movies are really historical (the one on Braveheart broke a part of my dreams).
This cute little mouse is the avatar of Dany Caligula. This young guy talks laws but mainly about philosophy. If some can think he's snob, his goal is to initiate people to philosophy, and I think he totally nailed it!
The last channel doesn't want you to understand physics or biology, it wants you to be smart. Welcome on HackingSocial. The main goal of his channel is to make you aware about manipulations practiced in the medias or by big industries, how to counter them and how to make people aware of them. To me this channel should really be more famous, because it would help so much people. It talks also a lot about social experiments and sociology.
I thinkI talked about the main ones. Sorry Charlie, but my goal here is to make people aware that these channels exist, and maybe to share them with other people that might not talk English so well. I hope appreciated it and will learn some new stuff. Sorry for the long post and see ya Charlie!

Wow, I feel like my idea was stolen.
ReplyDeleteJk, those channels are great and are what makes Youtube an interesting website. If I had presented french channels in my previous articles, I would have presented Dany Caligula and e-penser too ! I sure love those guys, and they are very good at speeches.
Thx! To me those are the main channels to know. Of course there are a lot more...
