LaurieWired has good content. She does lots of computer science/history related content which is really interesting
Angela Collier: She’s a physicist who does videos on science or science adjacent topics. Most of her videos are pretty funny and accessible and if you’re more interested in math stuff, she has a few videos or segments of videos that go more into that.
Girlfriend Reviews: Comedic game reviews.
Jenny Nicholson: Video essays/rants about various pop culture things.
Lindsay Ellis: Video essays. Although I think she’s mostly been posting on Nebula now. But her old videos are decent.
Simone Giertze: Comedic maker. Started out doing shitty robots but has evolved more into a design channel. The videos are still funny, but the projects are more sincere attempts to make something fun or useful.
Luna Oi!: She’s Vietnamese and does English language videos about modern Vietnamese history and contemporary life/politics from that perspective. Really interesting if your only previous exposure to the country was a brief bit about the Vietnamese war in history class.
I second Collier.

The good old red flag of talking about "males and females" instead of men and women like a normal person with a brain.
Language policing of this sort is a red flag indicative of an ignorant, contentious trendhopper picking a fight over conventional English usage.
Those nouns are conventional usage:
we can check the dictionary
female
noun
- a female person : a woman or a girl
- an individual of the sex that is typically capable of bearing young or producing eggs
- a pistillate plant
male
noun
- a male person : a man or a boy
- an individual of the sex that is typically capable of producing small, usually motile gametes (such as sperm or spermatozoa) which fertilize the eggs of a female
- a plant having stamens but no pistils or plainly observe unsolicited speech productions
- here on lemmy or in the news such as where a mother refers to her daughters as females
“What if I would have been armed,” she said. “You’re breaking in. What am I supposed to think? My initial thought was we were being robbed—that my daughters, being females, were being kidnapped. You have guns pointed in our faces. Can you just reprogram yourself and see us as humans, as women? A little bit of mercy. […]"
- in singles communities, personals, classifieds, marketplaces (abundant instances)
- in book titles & passages containing the word females or males, especially feminist or gender studies literature.
What good cause is advanced by treating nouns female & male as toxic, dirty words?
While OP doesn't appear to be a native English user, this kind of language policing is misguided & exhausting, and we need to police that.
It's pretty normal to use male and female when specifying gender as an adjective. Man and woman are nouns. Calling a professional a female manager, or male teacher is normal english grammar. Using male or female as a noun is the red flag, which upon re-reading they also do... hmmmm
But OP constantly genders the channel instead of the creator which feels more non-native english speaker to me. They post about european stuff and in norwegean. Don't read too much into it.
No it's not. At most, you can use it combined ("male worker") but no one normal says "a male" except when talking about animals. People who use it like that for humans are generally a big red flag.
And you don't learn to use "mal" and "female" when you learn english, you only find that in toxic masculinity environments.
When learning a language, you don't do literally everything by the book. In the real world you have to figure it out and extrapolate from incomplete information, and sometimes you get it a bit wrong.
From a few minutes playing on an autotranslator, it appears that Norwegan uses the same word for male/man and female/woman. Like the noun and adjective versions are the same word with different conjugations. A Norwegan learning english as a second language can quite reasonably be unaware that there is a distinction there.
Doesn't mean OP has any bad intentions. I see this happening often in my country where English is not the first language of most people.

Food / cooking:
- https://www.youtube.com/@imamuroom She used to do a lot of bento boxes but has since switched to regular home cooking. Good for getting meal inspirations.
- https://www.youtube.com/@AcreHomestead She does a lot of "meal prep" style videos and food preservation, including lots of freezer meals. Also good for inspiration.
- https://www.youtube.com/@Doobydobap She has a few long-ish videos that give a good high level overview of Korean cooking. The majority of the channel is more vlog-like but I've only watched her cooking videos.
- https://www.youtube.com/@CSaffitz Mostly does desserts. Her recipes tend to be on the more complex side. I'd look to her if I really want to perfect a recipe.
Others:
- https://www.youtube.com/@theleanbeefpatty Gym videos. More of a mindless entertainment channel than informational. She has a pet pig.
- https://www.youtube.com/@Caroline_Winkler Interior design. She has a peculiar sense of humor that's not quite my style, but the information is good.
Will check them out.
