I have a lot. I recently bought a real nice TV but I don't have any cable or digital airwave channels hooked up at all. I just have HDMI connected to my PC and I watch YT stuff or other downloaded content.
I have a few main channels that I watch almost every day, but I am curious as to the accuracy, or legitimacy of the channels. I have noticed a couple discrepancies and am curious to your guys' opinions on the channels. And also am curious what channels you may watch that I might be missing out on. There is soo much content these days.
TheYoungTurks - Seemingly only news outlet that isn't (as) biased as everything else. Constant videos and streams.
VSauce - Interesting science/philosophical channel (just the main channel with Michael). Weekly video.
TEDTalks - Usually always has some interesting lecture/story on just about any topic. Constant videos.
DNews - Multiple videos a day/week. Mostly on target up to date science news, but often they seem to lack in the research or just missing a bit of the topic. Overall good. (this is a combination of a few older YTers who collaborated with discovery channel or something, so they have their channels which are ok too.
Vice - I think they got ported to HBO recently, and their content seems to be worse as of late. It started out as a free (local?) mag here which I used to read occasionally. And then they started doing somewhat interesting documentaries and interviews on people, things, and places all over the world. Videos often.
Numberphile - Not really a math or numbers guy, but sometimes I watch a few videos.
Elliot Hulse / StrengthCamp - One of the better workout/lifestyle advice/tips outlets in the world. Guy seems to mostly know what he is talking about with everything. Although there is some quality I can't quite finger that is off about him. Constant videos daily.
Scooby1961 - Another great workout channel. Guy is kind of strange (possibly gay?) but he knows his stuff and he's also an engineer.
SimplePickup - Used to be a really funny channel, but not so much anymore. Haven't been really active since they started their other projects which I assume make more money.
Veritasium - Another science channel. Decent content.
Maddox - Funny/Clever. Doesn't have much content but its the same dude from the infamous website. Always worth the wait.
THNKR - Also a science/interesting stuff channel. Haven't viewed much of this, but it seems ok.
EarthUnplugged - Science.
MentalFloss - A 'list' channel. Just random trivia and facts.
And of course there are all the gaming channels I watch from time to time. Carbot, Renicgaming, pikachuakuma, teamliquid, gomtv, husky, hd, MLGsc2, WCS, etc.
PS- If you type in 'full movie' you can often find pages of pages of older movies free to watch on YT. I've watched a bunch of them recently. Stuff like Crimson Tide, Dogma, Triangle, The One, Drop Dead Fred, etc. Mostly subpar films that no one cares about (probably why they aren't taken down).
Other stuff that I am interested in that I don't have any good sources for: Poker, Psychology, Art related stuff, Graffiti, Car mechanics, or just General DIY fixing/building/house upkeep knowledge.
I also listen to a bunch of podcasts.
Dr. Drew podcast : Lots of information on psychology, addiction, diseases, relationships, drugs, political stuff, and interesting guests are usually in the educated science fields or celebrities. http://drdrew.com/category/podcast/
Adam&Drew Show: Same great dichotomy from loveline only less callers and more jokes, cursing, and social commentary. Very funny and smart at the same time. Interesting guests in celebrities and comedians etc. http://adamcarolla.com/adamanddrew/
Startalk: Neil Degrasse Tyson and all the interesting science/space philosophical stuff he brings with science guests and comedians. http://www.startalkradio.net/
Penn's Sunday School: Penn from the comedy/magic duo running his podcast based on athiesm and philosophy etc. Has interesting political and celebrity guests. http://pennsundayschool.com/
State Of The Game: JP McDaniel and other sc2 proliferates talk about esports, sc2, gaming news, and drama. http://sotg-sc2.blogspot.com/
Skeptic's Guide to the Universe: http://www.theskepticsguide.org/ Have not checked out this yet, but it looks pretty interesting.
I also listen to old episodes of loveline, When Carolla was co caster with drew. Late 90s to about 2005
Actually you can find pretty good movies on youtube. Internal Affairs (2002), Modern Times (1936) The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (1966), Cashback (2006) The Brotherhood of War (2004) etc, just gotta know what to search for. But yeah, most of them are at least few years old.
There are also bunch of great documentaries on youtube, such as the ones by VICE, Louis Theroux, Simon Reeve and bunch of other cool guys. Just type in the word 'documentary' and something else, such as 'art', and you'll get bunch of art related documentaries.
As for channels:
AmazingLife247 - small video compilations every day
nqtv - Rémi Gaillard, a French dude, who makes funny pranks and stuff and often goes to jail because of them.
egawauemon - the channel is mostly dead nowadays, but there are great 'video tours' of several cities around the world in 1080p. Most of the newer ones are taken in Japan, as the person running it is Japanese, or at least lives there.
GoProCamera - as the name says, videos taken with 'GoPro' cameras. most of them are POVs of extreme sports. Not all videos are great, but most of them are cool imo. I enjoy watching base jump videos.
Mehdi Sadaghdar - funny DIY/handyman videos
thenewboston - bunch of tutorials and DIY videos, from programming to making beer.
verisimilitdude - lots of interesting music, which you probably might not like
1983whiteyb - old soul music
CGPGrey - explains stuff which may be hard to understand, such as the EU
From what i saw from you're list you won't probably be interested in this but hey... i find this is prety cool.
You can look Freddie Wong videos (channel is : freddiew and freddiew2). The main chanel is the video and the second is behind the scene and how to. It's short action scenes from video games with real actor. It's kind of funny and really well done.
Also. Eliza Dushku
If you are interested in music go to the candyrat channel (name is : rpolland) lot of unknown artists that are awesome (Most famous would be Andy McKee and Antoine Dufour).
minutephysics - hand drawn picture montage of physics concepts minuteearth - see above but with random earth stuff CGPgrey - similar to vsauce but with a different style/topics
I don't subscribe to much, but I am subscribed to smalin. He does these visual representations for classical songs which are very interesting to watch and listen to.

Holy shit, the-best-page-in-the-universe guy? Completely forgot that existed, I feel old now.
I wonder if he's still advocating the beating of children.
