Best Unknown YouTube Channels Mega-Thread

**Leo Gura** · Sunday at 09:33 PM

The YouTube recommendations algorithm keeps getting worse and worse, suggesting shallow crap.

We need to crowd-source this problem. Let's begin keeping a list of the best, unknown YouTube channels. I'm always looking for high-quality channels related to philosophy, psychology, political science, sociology, history, documentaries, geography, travel, etc. I'm looking for serious channels with mature people who talk about mature subjects. Not drama, not culture wars, not clickbait, not entertainment. Channels with interesting, high-quality content. Channels that are educational and add to our understanding of the world. These channels usually have fewer subscribers, less popular. If you know of such channels, if you find new channels of this kind, please share them here.

When you share the link, please write a few words about what the channel is about and why it's worth watching.

I will share the best of these suggestions on my blog as well.

Thank you.

Examples of the kind of channels I'm talking about:

The channel that helped me the most with dating. LFA https://youtube.com/@lfa?si=rlV4jSdgiwl1ZWo4

This man is genuine, doesn't sell you a course, is very careful to never demonize women whatsoever, is down to earth and rational, he is not black pilled but neither red pill, he is a centrist if you compare his stance on dating with how we compare politics. In short he promotes healthy masculinity, emphesises genuine connection rather than bullshit game! Thats why he helped me the most in regards to dating!

No Joke Howard! Man this one is sad AF! This man died 6 years ago in his 30s due to an unexpected heart attack! Man this dude was genuine for real! He was an American citizen that decided to start life from scratch in Cambodia then In Mexico where he ultimately died! He spoke about life in generals, I got all sorts of advice from him regarding how to be a man! Again, this dude taught healthy masculinity, dating, life skills, life stories! I still browse his videos from time to time! May he rest in peace!

Neurosemantics/Michael Hall

Neurosemantics is a field and model that explores how humans create, embody, and live out meaning in their lives. It examines the interplay between our neurological processes (the “neuro” part) and the meanings we assign to experiences, thoughts, and emotions (the “semantics” part). (NLP on Steroids)

Healthy stage orange sales.

This is a serious path to break out of proverty, without having to build a whole business and wear all the hats in the beginning.

Josh Lyons combines self-actualization and spiriuality & inner work with sales. He uses sales to self-actualize, similarly to how Owen Cook uses socializing to self-actualize.

Obviously within the boundaries of healthy orange. But if you want a real way of making great money, this is one of the best ways without going toxic orange.

Josh Lyons has low views, due to his mature approach to sales: having an honest, non-scripted, deep dive conversation with the prospect, rather than focusing on handling the objections at the end. The way he sells is like having a hard heart-to-heart talk with a friend & getting them to open up (massive trust) and find alignment with the product, thus there are no objections at the end.

He uses powerful questions (like in a coaching session) to get the prospect to answer their own objections in the discovery phase (beginning), and so, sell themselves.

It’s a totally new and fresh way of selling in the social media space, contrary to all the sales gurus out there who promotes high pressure and toxic stuff.

Obviously, keep in mind that orange is still orange. Sales is still sales. Don’t expect this to be some advance level spirituality and actualizing stuff.

But if you have unfinished business in orange, Josh’s way of doing sales is as healthy of a sales path as it gets there.

Oh, and he used to lead Alex Hormozi’s Gym Launch sales team. Alex is a well known business influencer in the space, and I regard him as healthy orange too.
