I don't know how, but the past years I been watching Tom Scott ofcourse, Atomic Shrimp, Techmoan, The Linux Experiment and goes on.
The big question is which European creators do you watch?
It can be English or on it's own native language.
For example I follow Techprincess - Fjona Cakalli, an Italian tech reviewer. I don't understand Italian, but I watch her videos from time to time.
My small list so far:
Atomic Shrimp
Techmoan
Tom Scott
The Linux Experiment
Telekom Electronic Beats TV(electronic music interviews and blind music tests)
Tifo Football by The Athletic(which may not be anymore, part of NYT right?)

Does Not Just Bikes count as European? https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0intLFzLaudFG-xAvUEO-A

Limiting this to channels that aren't about current events, which seem to still be uploading, and which I am confident of the location of. All work primarily in English
I guess somehow almost none of the film channels or women in my subscriptions are European? Huh

The yogscast. And some hermits from hermitcraft are european I guess.

The only gaming content creators I watch anymore seem to all be British for some reason: jackfrags, Tomographic, Willfromwork, Two Angry Gamers
I get almost all my Ukraine news from either Europeans serving in Ukraine, like Big Mac's Battle Blog, or from European nationals in surrounding countries, like Denys Davydov or Artur Rehi.

Oh man, so many. Most of the channels I watch are from British creators, with a couple other countries sprinkled in.
Gary Eats, Greeno Eats, Danny Vs Food, BeardMeatsFood, Sorted Food, L3WG Reacts, Adam Couser, JOLLY, Finnish Girl Reacts, Where TF Is Charlie, Office Bloke Daz, Noel Phillips, Sam Wilder, Skint Northerners, Jack Aynsley Travels, Harrison Webb, Only Scrans, Hannah Ricketts, Leah Shutkever, Lucile, and that's just from my current YouTube queue.

Mumbo jumbo, docm77, Grian... Turns out there are a lot of (Minecraft) hermitcraft members that are in Europe
lime@feddit.nu · 2 pts · 83d
some of the ones i'm subscribed to are big clive, tom stanton, alasdair beckett-king, cakejumper, tim of way out west, chronova engineering, susd, steve mould, vargskelethor, posy, venjent, caseyexplosion, steph sterling, ivan garcia, the my engines guy...
very few non-english channels get recommended to me, which is kind of a shame. but swedish youtube is just a cesspool. mattias kling, theswedishmaker, love hultén and seth everman are great but they don't post a lot.

Ahoy makes me sad because he does genuinely fantastic videos, but I just don't care about the topics he covers most of the time. Every so often one pops up that I do like more (like the burger pixel art one) and it reminds me of how good his stuff actually is, so I can't even just ignore him
(To be clear, I fully recognise that this is a me problem and he can make videos about whatever he wants)
Big fan of Alice Cappelle, GMTK, and Three Arrows too

Sabine Hossenfelder, Numberphile, Computerphile, Vinheteiro, bigclivedotcom, Map Men, Robert Miles, fern, ...
lime@feddit.nu · 5 pts · 83d
hard pass on hossenfelder. she's just a mean contrarian for views.
hendrik@palaver.p3x.de · 1 pts · 83d
I'll watch her anyway. I mean it's hard to convey anything about theoretical physics in 5min videos. And being mean and a contrarian is kind of part of the scientific method. You'll come up with a hypothesis and then spend the next year trying to disprove it 😆 So it's kind of fitting... I get what you're saying, though. She's special. And not always in a good way... She is funny, though. And also understands precisely how the Youtube attention game works...
lime@feddit.nu · 5 pts · 83d
her way of talking down to her colleagues and countering legitimate science with crackpot theories definitely isn't part of the scientific method. check out angela collier's video on "conspiracy physics", she breaks down sabine's behavior in detail.
hendrik@palaver.p3x.de · 1 pts · 83d
Hmmh. Maybe you're right and I shouldn't recommend her videos to a general audience... I feel there's also some kind of cultural(?) difference buried here?! I like science, I listen to a bunch of other podcasts, mostly long-form content though. I think at the end of the day science is not about identity or belief, or even manners. It's a method to build a model of reality, and concerned with factual truth... And I'm able to laugh about string theory not really being part of it unless they come up with a way to test it. Though, Angela Collier's critizism how physics hasn't done anything in 50 years isn't what I (personally) got from the videos at all... But if some other people do... That's very unfortunate. And I see how people make things like that part of their identity. I think it's way more pronounced in places like the US. Less so where I live... So maybe I am a bit oblivious to the fact.

i'm european and i find it hard to take anything other from her quotes, unfortunately. doesn't help that she's supportive of lawrence krauss' anti-dei tirades.
AnchoriteMagus@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 83d
Yeah, leaving aside her science content, which I have a series of misgivings and concerns about, she's just a distasteful, mean person who takes a side I don't want to be even slightly associated with.
Dojan@pawb.social · 3 pts · 83d
She’s a right wing conspiracy theorist. I wouldn’t put stock in anything she puts out, it’s not for educational purposes.
remon@ani.social · 4 pts · 83d
All the Brady Haran channels!
mech@feddit.org · 1 pts · 82d
Map Men (for their extremely funny videos about maps and geography)
Geowizard (for the no roads challenges he does together with his weird brother and uncle)
Ed Pratt (for his Thames source to sea challenge that shows Britain from its absolute best side)
