Youtube is the new TV, or even better, the audiovisual version of blogs. There are hundreds of thousands of people creating all kinds of content about many different topics, and some of them are amazing.
In this post, I share some of my favorite YouTube channels. The list doesn’t include anything too specific or complicated, and I believe they will be interesting for most of you.
The list includes a short description, a featured video and a list of 3 more of my favorite videos from each channel.
1. Vsauce
Vsauce is Michael Steven’s channel, and it’s probably my favorite YouTube channel. It mixes science, interesting facts, history and many other topics dressed with Michael’s sharp humor and charisma.
3 great videos from Vsauce:
– What’s The Most Dangerous Place on Earth?
2. Quirkology
Richard Wiseman, a psychologist, author and magician, posts short videos in Quirkology about psychology, illusions, magic, and the impossible.

4. Primitive Technology
I discovered Primitive Technology a few months ago and I was hooked immediately. The guy behind the channel builds tools, objects and buildings in the wild completely from scratch using no modern tools or materials.

7. People are Awesome
You may have seen one of People are Awesome’s videos since they become viral every now and then. They publish compilations of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. These videos are purely entertaining and somehow hypnotic. It’s just amazing what humans are capable of.
