LIVE POLL: IMDb Poll Board: Favorite YouTube Channel
Which of the following YouTube channels* (as chosen by our fellow members of the IMDb Poll Board) is your favorite?
LIST: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls566674137/
POLL: https://www.imdb.com/poll/9hAZINOoRY0/
PLEASE READ BEFORE MAKING SUGGESTIONS:
TWO NOMINATIONS PER USER. This one might fail as a suggestion. I'm willing to accept that. I've been thinking about several different YouTube related polls (including one about film reviewers I abandoned years ago). No conspiracy/political channels. Let's keep it civil.
*YouTube channels not owned by the IMDb members themselves. Channels involving original content only (movie and tv review/essays are allowed). No music channels unless the content creator is creating new music just for his/her/their YouTube channel (no studio driven channels featuring preexisting music videos or YouTube Music channels).
Channel must have IMDb page. If you are dropping suggestions please give the channels YouTube link and their subscriber number.

It probably makes sense to have separate polls for content creators and film reviewers. Likewise, a minimum number of subscribers for a YouTube channel may make sense. However, lets see what kind of response you get before making this decision. Simply having the requirement that a YouTube channel must have an IMDb page may be sufficient.

There are channels on Youtube??????????
I just turn the thing on occasionally and listen to videos of the singers that I like.
Yes, I am old, a technophobe, and a ludite. A few hundred years ago I probably would have been a flat earther too.

So many YouTube incredible channels exist, it is kind of hard to have a favorite. Also, favorites change over time, depending on what is going on in the lives of the content creators, the lives of the viewers, or the world overall. For instance, during the early stages of the pandemic, I gained an interest in Roger Seheult's videos, and once in while I still visit the corresponding channel, but I wouldn't consider it a favorite. Oddly a lot of the channels that interest me the most are indeed oriented around politics, even conspiracies or so-condemned "theories" to that effect. Anyway, in trying to follow the criteria laid out (e.g. the "Channel must have IMDb page" criterion), one show that comes to my mind but which I hardly ever watch is Cecil Trachenburg's Good Bad Flicks: UCtKttDTGqEbBrC7jDN2_axQ. I'm not exactly a quick study as to which non-political YouTube channels I do frequently monitor that have IMDb title pages. I see that there is some coverage of Simon Whistler's content. He is not especially political, but some of his YouTube channels do delve into proven conspiracies (even ones orchestrated by institutions like governmental, business, charitable, ecclesiastical, recreational and academic entities, possibly think tanks as well, not just families and gangs.) Come to think of it, there is Arran Lomas's Thoughty2: UCRlICXvO4XR4HMeEB9JjDlA. Even though he is not especially political, he is unfortunately sometimes propagates pseudoscientific research, which is easy to do when discussing topics that are even slightly esoteric. I'd imagine that at good two thirds of the informative channels on YouTube fall into that hole and never crawl out of it.

I like David Lynch is youtube channel. He is such a great director. He could make a thousand things. but instead he has this daily lottery and weather report. It gives me anxiety though, since he posts daily I know the day he will stop posting, he will be dead.
I also like YaleCourses and MITopencourseware. I have watched David Thornburn's Introduction to Film Theory (or History), I learned a lot. I have also watched introduction course to python.
I revere Daisuke Beppu:
Since I have watched his channel. He is so modest and respectful. Almost too much 😂. But, don't tell him, he will feel bad and apologize for it 🤣. I don't think I have ever seen him give a bad review of a film, he praises Supergirl (1984), Jason X (2001), but he also loves Andrei Rublev (1966) and very obscure films.
In french - When I want clash and controversy I watch Antoine Goya (it is in french). He is well-read and he spends his time criticizing exactly the kind of youtubers that I don't like.
When I need a cool introduction to a match related subject, I go to this channel, it is helpful. Plus, She has a beautiful smile, a nice voice, and she draws pretty well with chalk. If math asmr this is it.

In French- For anything about elegance. Hugo can appear as an elitist, but he doesn't hate people who dress poorly, he just loves elegance.

I watch this channel for the music, but also because she has a good sense of cinematography.
https://www.youtube.com/@NaomiSV
She has a most interesting view on films. She focuses her channel on female character of horror films. She also interviews female directors. So it is most definitely a feminist channel. If you are worried that she might hate on male or male-directed film be reassured, it is not the purpose of her channel. Really, her goal is to bring the spotlight on females that is all. And, she has a peculiar taste in film. I like people who have peculiar tastes.

I've amended the suggestion to reflect that IMDb members are allowed two nominations.

Hey, @ElMaruecan82 ? Did you just post something here that may have been marked as spam or made private? Or did you immediately delete it? Doing a sanity check on my part.
