I suppose I'm using the term "tech youtuber" very loosely here, but I like watching danooct1. I discovered his windows virus videos back in 2015 and I still watch him to this day.

I cut ties with YT, but Big Clive was fun.

I like Technology Connections but his presentation style might be off-putting to some.

I honestly can't stand most programming or Linux Youtubers (in a very broad sense). It's either all really mediocre and boring, or just outright bad. One example are all those distro/window manager/text editor showcasing channels, that do nothing else all day than show you some obscure, probably useless piece of software, which is the completely same as all the other softwares of it's kind and has no redeeming features or anything. You don't learn anything while watching them and it's just a waste of time, because what they say can be easily looked up in man page, or README file. There is also all those programming-themed channels, that talk a lot about programming, but in reality never actually program, yet like to participate in all the holy wars there are. That's so far the side of tech Youtube, that I'm aware of. There is also all those hardware "showcasing" (in reality it's just ads) channels, but I never bothered with them, because I never felt the urge to have to know what new hardware thee is on the market and what stats it has. For similar reasons I don't follow all those tech news channels, since most noteworthy news are going to reach me anyway, so it's not worth keeping up with them deliberately.

It's all so tiresome and washed out. Also I doubt it is ever going to change. That being said, there are some channels, which make tech content, which I like (in no particular order):

YouTube in general is pretty much just a vehicle for adcrap these days so it's not surprising. Not just the Google corporate themselves, but also the "content creators" are mostly in it to shill garbage on videos that tend to be, at best, information that would be better presented in text/images on a web page rather than video, but there's no money in that so they make it a pointlessly time-wasting video instead. Then there are the ones that aren't even good info but just clickbait.

I agree with you in general, but there are exceptions: MeatCanyon, 3B1B, or Felix Colgrave.

Most linuxtubers are absolutely worthless and pretty much just read articles for you.

Heh, I remember some guy who did a rant about how bad Windows 10 was, and he kept pronouncing Linux as "line-ox". In the followup he was really salty about all the people who commented on that and that it "wasn't what the video was about" and said he'd block anyone who mentioned it again.
