  • 3Blue1Brown

    A YouTube channel that focuses on teaching mathematics intuitively by including animations.

  • 8-bit Music Theory

    A YouTube channel that focuses on video game music from dynamic music similar to Banjo Kazooie's (or A Hat in Time, if you want a modern example) varying version of the stage theme to video game music with odd time signatures.

  • Coding Tech

    Includes tech talks and discussions.

    Personal comment:

    This could be handy for a sudden random tech learning.

  • Crash Course

    A YouTube channel that specializes in introducing you to a lot of concepts and subjects such as computers, sciences, and computer science.

    Personal comment:

    Recommended for introducing to the slightly deep topics of different fields.

  • Eddie Woo

    A YouTube channel led by the titular mathematics teacher who produces online content for mathematics, mainly on pre-calculus topics.

    Personal comment:

    Recommended for pre-calculus concepts. Pair that up with Professor Leonard (another of my personal recommendations) and you have a pair of YouTube channels that teaches high school mathematics for you.

  • freeCodeCamp

    freeCodeCamp's official YouTube channel. Its content varies from tutorials from other developers to a whole course series (in fact, CS50 made it as one of them). You could also view some of their content from their freeCodeCamp Talks channel.

    Personal comment:

    Since the amount of content in this channel is gigantic and most of them came from third-party developers, it's a good idea to use this as a browser of referential videos.

  • Fun Fun Function

    Your metaphorical caffeine every Monday. A YouTube channel hosted by @mpjme that focuses on various developer-related concepts.

    Personal comment:

    An entertaining developer, a plus for me.

  • Game Maker's Toolkit

    Focuses on anything that is game design and development. Gives you insight on how Half Life teaches without a tutorial, how Megaman 11's level design does more with less, and the how does a particular level has been designed.

  • GreatScott!

    A YouTube channel of electronic projects how-tos and tutorials.

  • javidx9

  • LowSpecGamer

    A YouTube channel introducing you how to play modern/high-end video games with low-end computers and configurations.

    Personal comment:

    As someone with a low-end computer myself, I really appreciate this channel. Pushing the limits of low-end hardware by forcing it to play modern games as smoothly as possible, no matter how it'll look like — it's ridiculously funny.
