For me I really do enjoy watching some of the Locking picking lawyers content and he is an expert when it comes to picking locks!

Another few are mental outlaw (although I think everyone knows of him here) and Steven Bridges who makes videos on card counting at casinos and he shows how much he wins/loses from playing

      I built a breadboard computer by following his series. Was super fun to put together, and makes for a great conversation starter (whether people like it or not).

    Stuff Made Here: Crazy talented maker with a huge set of skills, tools and ideas. Add a good portion of humor and a a slightly annoyed wife who has to test all the inventions. Very inspiring for makers and entertaining for non-makers. Hard to call it a niche as he has 4.4 million subscribers but as OP also listed the lock picking laywer I think it’s fair. 😁 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj1VqrHhDte54oLgPG4xpuQ

      And Nico for small bits of high-energy watch enthusiasm sprinkled in. Be warned though, he’s a bit rough around the edges.

    EthosLab is your favorite Minecraft YouTuber’s favorite Minecraft YouTuber

    Thought Emporium does mad science-level experiments

    NighthawkInLight is basically supercharged at-home science

    Jet Lag: The Game is tag/capture the flag on steroids

    Roffle makes daily Hearthstone videos, mostly in Wild where cards are never cycled out and things get pretty crazy

    Edit: more

    Rare Earth, run by the son of Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, tells deep stories from obscure places

    NileRed does crazy chemistry stuff

    I really agree with the people recommending Technology Connections and Techmoan

    This Old Tony takes you along as he does stuff on his workshop

    The Drum Thing and rdavidr both make interesting videos about weird from equipment, which I never thought I’d be interested in

    You may have heard of The Game Grumps before but The Ten Minute Power Hour on their side channel The Grumps has me in stitches every episode

    The backlog of the late and great Technoblade, probably one of if not the top Minecraft PvPer while he was alive, is always worth a watch

    I never played WoW but I love Crendor’s Pointless Top Ten videos and Barny64’s slow decent into madness playing WoW Classic

    I might come back to do more later, I’m doing all of this from a tablet lol

    Cracking the Cryptic

    They solve Sudoku Puzzle variants and some other types of puzzles. I quite enjoy watching them work through the logic. They put out 2 videos per day so there’s always something new to watch. Their videos range from 20-60 minutes depending on the difficulty of the puzzle.

      This channel is such a hidden gem. Their Patreon is also one of the best investments I’ve ever made. They do a monthly puzzle club where they send out packs of puzzles that take plenty of time to work through.

    These are not necessarily unpopular in terms of subscribers, but nieche in terms of topics:

    • acollierastro: theoretical physicist with a unique style. What got me hooked are her videos debunking or responding to popular scientific misconceptions.
    • Ben Eater: teaches computer related subjects like electronics, networking, low level programming, architecture etc. in a fun way. He has a series where he builds a computer from scratch with cables and circuit boards.
    • Living Ironically in Europe: if 2balkans4you was a youtube channel, although he has some serious content as well
    • Masaman: mostly talks about genetics, he hasn’t made any new videos in a while.
    • Max Derrat: he seems to have deep knowledge about occult stuff and its history which he uses to analyse video games and other media.
    • Ostura Official TV: progressive metal band from Lebanon.
