Since this is the IoT forum I'll link NostalgiaNerds video on Cyrix, it's pretty good.

I also like his Amstrad videos.

NostalgiaNerd has done some great vids.

I've rewatched these two a bunch of times.

I also like some of the Histocrat stuff and Cool Worlds makes beautiful space videos. Of the really big ones I sometimes watch Lemmino.

His recent expose on the hijacking of the Commodore brand is one of his best yet.

Defunctland is pretty great if it hasn't been mentioned yet.

This guy also does really well produced and researched mini-docs on defunct rides and theme parks;

Bright Sun Films does documentaries on defunct businesses and abandoned places, it's a good channel

J.J. McCullough is always my first recommendation. His videos are fun and easy to watch without being shallow, and are usually about American culture, Canadian history, or the culture of other places. Ever wonder why Canada is just America but more pathetic?

What do other countries think is "American"?

Next is Pseudiom, his videos look nice and are about obscure and interesting bits of (usually American) history and (usually American) pop culture, and internet history (of the American net). Topics can vary, I stopped watching him for a bit because he can veer wildly from your personal interests. He's severely underrated (averages 2k views per video).

Wendover Production has a lot of good shorter documentaries. This video does a good job explaining the reason behind the shortages today

Someone's already mentioned Defunctland, but this is their magnum opus for sure. May look boring but is actually very interesting, especially if you're into industrial engineering and innovation.

I'm not a theme park person, never been to Disneyland, and I find almost all of Defunctland's videos highly engaging and entertaining.

It's worth binge watching Ahoy, the guy makes fantastic content, it feels like the kind of stuff you'd see on TV.

This is unintentionally the most autistic thread on the forum.
