Simply relaxing to watch.<p>Tips from a Shipwright: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/TipsfromaShipWright" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/user/TipsfromaShipWright</a><p>I have built a wooden boat and would love to do more. He is currently on his second beginning-to-end project. Incredible skill. Fun to watch him work and see the final product. Also well done videos (professionally produced by a sponsor) and just a really pleasing personality.

I don't think it's that weird, but I love Binging with Babish<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJHA_jMfCvEnv-3kRjTCQXw" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJHA_jMfCvEnv-3kRjTCQXw</a>
B Roll. This is the behind the scenes footage Hollywood studios provide. PR for a film. Usually spliced in when broadcasting a celebrity interview to give "atmosphere".<p>But I find the mega budget production aspects fascinating. Seeing the million dollar DaVinci Resolve boards. The robotic Oculus camera cranes. As well as the intricate stunt choreography and wire work for Guardians 2. The massive alien ship interior sets for Arrival. The ballroom in Beauty and the Beast.<p>Another recent good one: Murder on the Orient Express. Istanbul's Sirkeci Rail Station. And a snow bound cliff outside Vincovci. All recreated on London sound stages. And shot in vintage large format Panavision 65mm analog film cameras ;)<p>Behind The Scenes On Murder on the Orient Express<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BH_R2OauWMk" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BH_R2OauWMk</a>
I am absolutely riveted when watching wet shaving (think old school brush lathering, safety razors, etc.) videos where guys just talk about their day and shave. I am also really into wet shaving - so I guess it isn't weird on that front. My partner initially thought it was weird though.<p>Two I would highly recommend:<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/mfreedberg" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/user/mfreedberg</a><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/ChiCityTimelapse" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/user/ChiCityTimelapse</a>
Electronics and/or antique cars repairs, also urban exploration.<p>For electronics I would recommend Louis Rossmann (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/rossmanngroup/videos" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/user/rossmanngroup/videos</a> ), his videos are quite interesting regarding what's really happening in our machines at a lower level and what makes them tick. He also has really good advice (& rants) regarding life and business which is worth watching even if you don't care about the actual repairs themselves.<p>For old car repairs I watch <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/mustie1/videos" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/user/mustie1/videos</a>, what this guy is doing is really quite cool.<p>Also I do enjoy quite a lot of urban exploring videos (the good ones, not the CLICKBAIT GONE WRONG - usually if the title is in caps I don't even bother).<p>Other than that the usual pranks, fails (Fail Army), etc. Low quality I know but if I fall back to that this means I've exhausted my backlog of good videos and really don't care about what to watch anymore - I just need to kill time or to have some background noise going.
Joey's World Tour<p>a rather obese, but extremely good natured and outgoing youtuber that absolutely stuffs his face during food reviews. Most of the video is him smacking while eating rather disgustingly.<p>Some of his videos are the literal definition of gluttony.<p>I love to watch his videos while cutting calories because it immediately makes me lose my appetite.<p>I feel like such a bad person for doing this but it is rather effective.
As of right now: Kpop.<p>Last week I watched a video called 'Likey' by a Kpop group called Twice because a channel I'm subscribed to was reacting to it, and now I'm hooked.<p>I thougth I wouldn't like it, but they seem so cute and happy, and I've found that watching their videos is (in my case) a good way to relieve stress after a long day of programming.

Bad old movies, may not be always youtube. But the Internet has given me the ability to watch a lot of classic cinema drek.<p>Some examples - Queen Kong, Just Imagine (1930), Space Probe Taurus, Planet of the Vampires
Rosanna Pasino... especially the Nerdy Nummies stuff.<p>When she's a bit too peppy, I have to turn the volume down or off (it sounds like the worst sort of baby talk to me), but the stuff she makes is amazing.
Shoenice. It's quite a thing to watch someone down a fifth of vodka, whiskey, gin and all assorted forms of liquor within a few seconds. Also, street fights, paparazzi videos and just going down the youtube rabbit hole and seeing where it takes me. Though youtube rabbit hole was a lot more fun before youtube decided to censor everything.
Chyrosran's mechanical keyboard reviews and teardowns. YouTube's recommendation algorithm always shows me a new video when it's posted, and it's not wrong. I'm a fan of mechanical kb's (typing this on a Topre Type Heaven), but this particular tuber also has a great voice and presentation.
Over the years I went through a few:<p>- Batsu games (no-laugh game shows from Japan. Search for it, the first result is a reddit link with list of episodes)<p>- Angry Video Game Nerd episodes (I love old school nintendo games)<p>- DBZ-Tubers (mostly started watching because of DBZ making a resurgence with DBSuper)
A game we played with a friend of mine: the idea is to start with the recommended videos and then continue with all of the random stuff that goes as suggested videos (but never repeating anything you had already watched). We call it "YouTube TV".
White noise videos.<p>Recently I've been listening to this one a lot:
<a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WbEGmghn_jo" rel="nofollow">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WbEGmghn_jo</a> (Airplane jet engine)
Japanese TV dumps - usually dumped by sketchy clickfarm channels and then quickly taken down. I don't speak or read Japanese but I still find them entertaining.
