I don't know how, but the past years I been watching Tom Scott ofcourse, Atomic Shrimp, Techmoan, The Linux Experiment and goes on.
The big question is which European creators do you watch?
It can be English or on it's own native language.
For example I follow Techprincess - Fjona Cakalli, an Italian tech reviewer. I don't understand Italian, but I watch her videos from time to time.

My small list so far:
Atomic Shrimp
Techmoan
Tom Scott
The Linux Experiment
Telekom Electronic Beats TV(electronic music interviews and blind music tests)
Tifo Football by The Athletic(which may not be anymore, part of NYT right?)

Does Not Just Bikes count as European? https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0intLFzLaudFG-xAvUEO-A

He's a Canadian living in Amsterdam. Is also active on the Fediverse: @notjustbikes@notjustbikes.com

    Limiting this to channels that aren't about current events, which seem to still be uploading, and which I am confident of the location of. All work primarily in English

    • Adam Millard - UK, videogame design
    • Alexander the ok - UK, engineering oddities (usually in the second half of the 20th century)
    • Andre Antunes - Portugal, makes metal music out of unexpected videos
    • Cambrian Chronicles - UK, ancient Welsh history (also his "anything else" second channel, Cadwaladr)
    • Chris Spargo - UK, basically the exact same idea as Tom Scott's "I'm in random place" videos
    • f4mi - Italy, retro tech
    • Foil, Arms, and Hogg - Ireland, comedy sketches
    • Fredda - Norway, political history
    • J Draper - UK, London history
    • Jazz Emu - UK, comedy music
    • Joseph Newton - UK, maths oddities
    • Khanlusa - UK, videogames
    • Lemmino - Sweden, the kind of history mysteries that people make conspiracy theories about
    • Let's Talk Religion - Sweden, comparative religion with a focus on Islam
    • Map Men - UK, geography oddities
    • MQTate - Isle of Man, chemistry oddities
    • Napoleon Blownapart - Ireland, MMA. I do not care about MMA at all, Napoleon is just so goddamn funny
    • Paul Davids - Netherlands, guitar
    • People Make Games - UK, videogames
    • Squidge Rugby - UK, rugby

    I guess somehow almost none of the film channels or women in my subscriptions are European? Huh

    Ahoy makes me sad because he does genuinely fantastic videos, but I just don't care about the topics he covers most of the time. Every so often one pops up that I do like more (like the burger pixel art one) and it reminds me of how good his stuff actually is, so I can't even just ignore him

    (To be clear, I fully recognise that this is a me problem and he can make videos about whatever he wants)

    Big fan of Alice Cappelle, GMTK, and Three Arrows too

    some of the ones i'm subscribed to are big clive, tom stanton, alasdair beckett-king, cakejumper, tim of way out west, chronova engineering, susd, steve mould, vargskelethor, posy, venjent, caseyexplosion, steph sterling, ivan garcia, the my engines guy...

    very few non-english channels get recommended to me, which is kind of a shame. but swedish youtube is just a cesspool. mattias kling, theswedishmaker, love hultén and seth everman are great but they don't post a lot.

    The only gaming content creators I watch anymore seem to all be British for some reason: jackfrags, Tomographic, Willfromwork, Two Angry Gamers

    I get almost all my Ukraine news from either Europeans serving in Ukraine, like Big Mac's Battle Blog, or from European nationals in surrounding countries, like Denys Davydov or Artur Rehi.

    I'll watch her anyway. I mean it's hard to convey anything about theoretical physics in 5min videos. And being mean and a contrarian is kind of part of the scientific method. You'll come up with a hypothesis and then spend the next year trying to disprove it 😆 So it's kind of fitting... I get what you're saying, though. She's special. And not always in a good way... She is funny, though. And also understands precisely how the Youtube attention game works...

    her way of talking down to her colleagues and countering legitimate science with crackpot theories definitely isn't part of the scientific method. check out angela collier's video on "conspiracy physics", she breaks down sabine's behavior in detail.

    Hmmh. Maybe you're right and I shouldn't recommend her videos to a general audience... I feel there's also some kind of cultural(?) difference buried here?! I like science, I listen to a bunch of other podcasts, mostly long-form content though. I think at the end of the day science is not about identity or belief, or even manners. It's a method to build a model of reality, and concerned with factual truth... And I'm able to laugh about string theory not really being part of it unless they come up with a way to test it. Though, Angela Collier's critizism how physics hasn't done anything in 50 years isn't what I (personally) got from the videos at all... But if some other people do... That's very unfortunate. And I see how people make things like that part of their identity. I think it's way more pronounced in places like the US. Less so where I live... So maybe I am a bit oblivious to the fact.

    i'm european and i find it hard to take anything other from her quotes, unfortunately. doesn't help that she's supportive of lawrence krauss' anti-dei tirades.
