What strange things have you started watching on YouTube?

Now and again something will pop up on my YouTube recommended that will intrigue me. I'll watch one video and then I'll end up binge watching that channel and it's things I'd never even dream of liking.

An example is a channel called RamiTheIcon. A video popped on my recommended of a "sneaker trader" (best description I can think of) calling out people trying to sell him fake shoes. Being bored I gave it a watch and instantly found the guy, Rami, likable and now I watch him all the time. And the videos are just recording himself in his shop interacting and trading with people.

Another is a channel called 3DBotMaker where they race toy cars down a track. Again I had nothing to watch and a video turned in my recommended of 'hot wheels' cars being rolled/raced down a track. I was interested in what the track looked like so gave it a quick watch and loved the commentary to the races. It was well commentated and funny and the 2 guys (or one guy with a voice changer, couldn't tell lol) really worked well with each other.

So these 2 channels are the latest 'weird' channels I watch. Do you have any?

Most of the time I enjoy a video from someone only to realize their other videos are wrong/bad/crazy.

Technology Connections however is great. Way too much detail about simple things but it's fun. All my other subscriptions are at least somewhat tangentially related to my work or are cool things.

For a second I thought you were going to point out how Technology Connections was bad or something.

I mostly watch these three:

This guy makes a lot of chess videos that are fun:
He makes shorter videos that would probably be off putting to most people here...

Never has a video on light bulbs been more entertaining lol. He seems to repeat the same points but he talks quickly and packs in a lot. His mixture of little stories and facts is quite entertaining. Subbed up and I'll see if I like anymore of his content
