a list of all the youtubers I have watched at various points in my life, categorized by content niche
The status indicator reflects the current state of the work: - Abandoned: Work that has been discontinued - Notes: Initial collections of thoughts and references - Draft: Early structured version with a central thesis - In Progress: Well-developed work actively being refined - Finished: Completed work with no planned major changes This helps readers understand the maturity and completeness of the content.
The confidence tag expresses how well-supported the content is, or how likely its overall ideas are right. This uses a scale from "impossible" to "certain", based on the Kesselman List of Estimative Words: 1. "certain" 2. "highly likely" 3. "likely" 4. "possible" 5. "unlikely" 6. "highly unlikely" 7. "remote" 8. "impossible" Even ideas that seem unlikely may be worth exploring if their potential impact is significant enough.
The importance rating distinguishes between trivial topics and those which might change your life. Using a scale from 0-10, content is ranked based on its potential impact on: - the reader - the intended audience - the world at large For example, topics about fundamental research or transformative technologies would rank 9-10, while personal reflections or minor experiments might rank 0-1.
Since I first began using the internet seriously in my teenage years, YouTube has played a central role in how I've explored the world. It was my university, my cinema, my news outlet, and occasionally, my escape. Over the years, I transitioned from a passive viewer to a more conscious curator—carefully pruning the channels I follow based on intellectual merit, aesthetic value, technical depth, or sheer creative brilliance. Now, as I pursue a more intentional and focused digital life, this post is a living record of the YouTube channels I subscribe to, organized by category, and updated as my tastes evolve.
Below is a complete catalogue of every channel I have subscribed to across both my current and past accounts, classified by content niche. The list is split into two sections: channels I currently subscribe to, and channels from a previous account that I may or may not still follow. Some appear in both.
