YouTube Channels I Subscribe To

Sigh. I subscribe to a lot of channels. They fit roughly into categories, shown below. Not all of them are daily or even weekly. Some are extremely rarely updated, although on YouTube, it’s sometimes hard to tell. For instance, ZeFrank was gone for years and then came back with a vengeance with little to no warning. When I finally got off my butt and made a master spreadsheet of the channels I’m subscribed to and then wrote the C# program to convert that into the form you see below, I realized I was subscribed to way too many channels and immediately went on YouTube and ruthlessly unsubscribed from about half of them. What you see below is what remains as of the date given at the bottom, and is subject to change at basically a moment’s notice. The categories may also change; the code I wrote adapts pretty easily to any number of them, in any order. :)

YouTube channels (224 total):

In . . . an order. See if you can figure it out. :)

  1. Animals (6 channels)

    They’re cute! They’re fuzzy/scaly/feathered/spiky/leathery/chitinous! They’re animals!

    • AnimalWonders Montana
    • AntsCanada
    • Big Cat Rescue
    • Chandler’s Wild Life
    • WildcatSanctuary
  2. ASMR (45 channels)

    ASMR. Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. It’s basically a made-up term that sounds high-fallutin’, but what it really describes is a tingly feeling some people get when they hear certain sounds, get personal attention, or see repetitive hand motions. It’s hard to describe, but if you want to see a pretty good description, go to any of these channels and check out the description under any video. They all define it. And if you want to know if you experience it (not everyone does), watch a couple.

    • acapellascience2
    • FeatherBrainedASMR
    • Isabel backstage
    • nottinghamscience

    • AwakenWithJP
    • Brad Gage Comedy
    • Tripp and Tyler
  5. Entertainment (22 channels)

    A few of these are quite informative, but I think this group’s main goal is entertainment, not education. I could be wrong.

    • Talya Tate Boerner
    • That Geek Brian
  8. Health (1 channels)

    Primary focus is health, diet, etc.

    • Workout With Wickham
  9. Language (5 channels)

    Language fascinates me. Always has. So of course I found channels on YouTube that deal with language and language creation.

    • Biblaridion
    • David Peterson
    • Leornende Eald Englisc
    • NativLang
    • wordsoftheworld
  10. Learning (53 channels)

    Even though these are all entertaining and fun, their primary purpose (as far as I’m concerned) is to educate the viewer.

  11. LGBTQ+ (2 channels)

    • Billy-Joe newington
    • Jammidodger
  12. Music (43 channels)

    The thing about music channels is that they’re not updated very frequently (for the most part), and when they are, the videos are very seldom more than five minutes. So they’re like candy. :)

  15. World Building (4 channels)

    World-building refers to creating fictional worlds from the ground up. Or the star out. Can also involve constructing one or more languages. The channels here represent everything from making a stellar system with planets and moons, putting continents and oceans (with currents) on one or more of the planets, designing civilizations to exist on said planet(s), and what languages they speak. Trade, winds, magic, physics, history…it’s all there.

    • Artifexian

    • Worldbuilding Notes
