What Youtube channel has maintained high quality standards over the years?
Inspired by this post but the other way around. Which channels (any subject) do you think have stayed true to their beginnings and are still worth watching today?
My pick would be Gamers Nexus.

Phil DeFranco is better than he used to be by a long shot. He's getting senators and journalists in interviews for all manner of new related content. And he stopped with the enlightened centrism angle he had for a bit. Much more mature and level-headed.
I like PDS and watched for over a decade. but ive had to stop treating it like a news source. I feel his coverage is not informative unless you live under a rock and need a quick rundown of what's happening. He oversimplifies to the point of being misleading definitively leaves out contrary info and makes way stronger claims than the evidence really supports. He knows his audience (me included) and spins the story for them and in reality its probably not him but his writing team.
His interviews with officials are still good.
I listen to him almost everyday after work
politics, reaction, influencer types are usually of lower quality than other non-political channels, most of them devolve into clickbait or reaction slop. plus its like watching cnn or fox in youtube format, no need if you already access the same political content from other social media platform. Youtube pushes heavily on politics into your feeds(even non-conservative content). i used to followed asian ytubers that give commentary/jokes on news , but when it comes to politics, they lean heavilya certain way, but was always able to play off of it and not in your face, overtime they became lazy and lean all the way in to it now, that it turned fans off, adding a little mysgoyny as well.
