YOUTUBERS I COULD WATCH FOREVER 🥰🤍
1. Kurzgesagt (Science)
If you’re interested in learning more about science in a much more exciting way than reading books, then look no further than Kurzgesagt. Philipp Detmer founded this channel, and he created animated educational videos.
Every video this channel makes is always backed by extensive research that ranges from fact-checking with books and scientific journals to discussions with experts to ensure any information he shares is accurate.
Furthermore, they always attach every research resource in his video description to help you, the viewer, read them yourself.
The channel’s name was derived from a German term “kurzgesagt" that translates to “said in short” or “in brief”, which perfectly describes their relatively brief videos (8-12 minutes in length on average) on rather complex topics.
What makes Kurzgesagt different from most other channels talking about science is that their videos often feature cute animated birds that sometimes make you question your existence.
Worry not, though, as you will more often be educated rather than feeling existential dread by watching Kurzgesagt’s videos.
2. AlternateHistoryHub (History)
History can be an extremely complicated and messy topic to talk about. There are various arguments on whether the winning side wrote it, and sometimes we find new evidence that revises what was already written.
Even with modern technology today, we’ll never know how things happened in history unless we were there. Because of this uncertainty, why not make alternative versions of them?
That’s precisely what AlternateHistoryHub, a YouTube channel by Cody Franklin, did. He posts educational videos that cover several alternate histories of the world, which includes:
• What if the Vietnam War didn't happen?
• What if North Korea and South Korea never split?
• What if Ferdinand Magellan never circumnavigated the world?
• What if the Berlin Wall didn't collapse?
On top of the world’s history, AlternateHistoryHub also posts different versions of history in movies, games, animation, books, and many more that could make you excited to learn more.
To create these “what if” scenarios, AlternateHistoryHub combines knowledge of the population, geography, and historical facts. They then come up with probable outcomes on if specific events in history went in an altogether different direction than we’ve seen in historical records.
3. FitnessBlender (Fitness and Health)
While exercise is crucial to physical and mental health, finding the motivation and proper resources can be challenging. If you need a channel that fulfills all your fitness needs, look no further than FitnessBlender.
The channel offers professional, full-length workout videos that cater to all fitness levels and on every part of your body. This way, whether you’re looking for videos to help you to strengthen your core, the best techniques for upper body workouts, or simply finding out the right way to do weight exercises, you’ll find everything on FitnessBlender.
4. Girlfriend Reviews (Gaming)
Playing video games is a ton of fun, but buying the latest games is often expensive. So sometimes, we need to watch the latest reviews to get a better idea of what the game’s all about and if it’s worth it or not.
While there are plenty of game reviewers on YouTube, we think Girlfriend Reviews are the best right now. This is because, unlike most reviewers out there that just talk about the pros and cons, this channel offers a fresh perspective.
Let us explain.
Girlfriend Reviews consists of real-life couple Matt (a hardcore gamer) and Shelby (a casual gamer), and comments on the latest games (mostly) from Shelby’s point of view of watching her now-fiance playing the games.
This results in hilarious comments, pop culture references, and even parody songs sung by Shelby while watching Matt playing the games. Furthermore, Matt also edits the videos exceptionally well and is bound to make you giggle at the very least, but being well informed at the same time.
5. MrBeast (Entertainment)
While PewDiePie is still the undisputed King of YouTube, MrBeast (with more than 90 million subscribers) is hot on his heels as he’s gained more than 10 million subscribers last December 2021.
MrBeast, real-name Jimmy Donaldson, posts many random yet attention-grabbing videos that will almost always go viral as he averages more than 50 million views on his videos!
For example, he’s done various charity stunts like giving away 1 million dollars but only giving people 1 minute to spend them, and of course, his $450,000+ recreation of the hit Netflix series, Squid Game.
With this in mind, you should expect him to continue doing even more outrageous stunts and philanthropic endeavors this year. And thanks to his interview with Marques Brownlee, where he stated that he would do something “bigger than Squid Game”, we might actually get it!

Okay, so let's talk about AlternateHistoryHub for a bit more detail, because honestly, this channel is a hidden gem for anyone who's ever wondered 'what if?' about history. When I first stumbled upon it, I was immediately captivated by the idea of exploring timelines that never happened. It's not just about changing one event; it’s about seeing the ripple effects across societies, cultures, and even technology. Cody Franklin, the creator, has truly built something special, attracting over 2.33 million followers, and it's easy to see why. What really hooks me is how meticulously researched each scenario is. It’s not just wild speculation. Cody takes real historical facts, geographical layouts, and even population dynamics, and then he extrapolates what could have happened if a single pivotal moment went differently. For instance, the original article mentioned 'What if the Vietnam War didn't happen?' or 'What if North Korea and South Korea never split?' These aren't just questions; they're springboards for deep dives into geopolitical shifts, economic impacts, and even changes in global culture that are just mind-boggling to consider. I find myself pausing videos just to think about the implications! His presentation style is another huge draw for me. The channel's banner with its various cartoon characters gives you a hint of the engaging visual storytelling. Cody uses clear, concise language and fantastic animations to illustrate these complex alternate realities. It makes learning about history feel less like a dry lecture and more like an exciting journey through parallel universes. I appreciate that he doesn't shy away from difficult topics but always approaches them with a thought-provoking perspective. You'll often find yourself in the comments section, seeing hundreds of people debating and adding their own insights, which makes the whole experience even richer. It truly fosters a community of curious minds. For me, AlternateHistoryHub isn't just entertainment; it's a fantastic tool for understanding real history better. By seeing how easily things could have gone another way, it really highlights the fragility and interconnectedness of events. It makes you realize that history isn't just a fixed narrative, but a series of choices and circumstances that could have unfolded in countless directions. It sharpens your critical thinking and encourages you to look beyond the surface-level facts, prompting questions like "How would that have changed everything?" If you've ever enjoyed historical fiction, or even just wondered about the unseen forces that shaped our world, you absolutely have to give AlternateHistoryHub a watch. It’s a channel that consistently delivers thought-provoking content and will definitely give you plenty to ponder long after the video ends, making it one of my all-time favorite educational channels.
