What strange or unusual videos do you watch on youtube?

[japple]

I like Urban Exploring with Kappy, and other urban explorers. Tribal People Try is fun--a group of guys in Pakistan try different American, Canadian or other ethnic foods. I watched hoarder house cleanup shows for a time and then got tired of it. Cat tv (videos for cats) is fun for my cats and me. I also like "Becorns," where a clever craftsman makes little figures out of acorns and then poses them in natural settings in order to photograph. They are very sweet.

Of course I watch Hands for Paws and the The Dodo, Kitten Lady and Tiny Kittens.

1. I like the videos of videogames I have already.

I'm an old klutz, so I hardly ever get as good as some of those teenagers with their super relexes.

[malthaussen]

47. I tend to watch ones of games I can't run on my own system.

Which these days is just about every new release.

2. several ones.

but lately I have been following martijn doolaard . This guy is famous for having biked two years in a row from canada to end of south america and documented it.
Nowadays, he is living in the italian alps, restoring an old homestead and documenting it in video. It is stunningly well filmed and also the stories are first rate. This guy is a renaissance man, he can do anything.

[Thomas Hurt]

3. I like the restoration videos, old tools, cars, etc.

[Doc Sportello]

4. Ashamed to admit it

But I like the prank videos for the people's reactions. Not mean ones but goofy ones like the Bushman and fart prank vids. They make me laugh.

[TigressDem]

5. Reaction Videos to VoicePlay

It's an acapella group with a bass singer whose voice makes people's jaws drop.

[Quakerfriend]

6. Love these Food Around the World

videos of Ukrainian woman who lives in
the Carpathian Mts. and grows and cooks all her own food.

https://m.

[wryter2000]

9. I bet that's great

More ways to avoid doing what I’m supposed to do.

[Quakerfriend]

23. The best part is that there's no music or talking.

It is just her going about her farm & using all of nature making delicious food.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

7. Various Tarot Card Readers, Psychics, and Astrologers

Some are surprisingly accurate, some are way off, but the ones I watch despise Trump too and are entertaining.

[japple]

18. I watch a lot of those as well. I haven't seen one yet that liked

tRUMP!!!!

[50 Shades Of Blue]

26. If there are any, YT must know better than to suggest them to me, LOL!

I'm watching Cash Peters' latest right now!

[japple]

27. Check out DU's own Astrology, Spirituality & Alternative Healing

forum. We have lots of suggestions!!! https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1220

[50 Shades Of Blue]

33. I will, thanks!!!

[Upthevibe]

43. 50 Shades Of Blue.............

I watch various psychics, astrologers, etc. too!

The practitioners I make it a point to check out on YouTube are Whimsy (Tarot and remote viewing), Marianne (Tarot-She's Australian), and Susan Lynn (channels her Spirit Guides).

I'd love to hear who your "go-to's" are....

[50 Shades Of Blue]

46. Marianne and Susan Lynn are 2 of my favorites, too!

Marianne's knowledge of American politics is really impressive (and puts many of the American readers to shame) and she has a good track record.

There are many I have watched and still subscribe to, but I have had to really narrow down the ones I still do usually watch. They are Cash Peters, Linda G (mainly because she's entertaining), Andre (Astrology Alert), Kim (Intuitiview), Psychic Violetta, SouLight Hynotherapy, Denise Siegel, and Evon Davis.

If I have time I'll try to watch Sterling, Sheila Celtic Tarot, Lena Rodriquez, Jenn Lynn, Tarot's Apprentice, David Johnson, Milou, Hogarth, Lilac Lantern, Heart-Centered Tarot, Ellie (Dreams Down Under), and Lori (Way of Positive Change)... there are more, but those are the ones who came to mind. Oh, I watch Whimsy too but only her short remote viewing videos. Another one I like is Kirsten Langston (Third Eye Champagne).

How about you? When did you start watching them? I started after the 2016 election.

[wryter2000]

8. Pasta Grannies

An English woman seeks out old Italian ladies who make pasta by hand. Yummy. I bought the cookbook even though I’ll never be able to make pasta like the grannies do.

[dhol82]

10. Recently got shown cows with hoof abscesses

Actually interesting to see how hooves are groomed and treated medically.
Did you know they get little rubber booties to level out healing tootsies?

This of course goes along with the farrier videos of horses with badly overgrown hooves. I have no idea how YouTube thought I might be interested in this stuff.

[Thunderbeast]

11. Cab view from train rides in Norway and the Alps

Guy who rebuilds wrecked cars...dry humor.

[Glorfindel]

12. Cash Jordan apartment tours in New York City

I have no idea why I find these so fascinating, but I do.

[LuckyCharms]

13. I learn about things on YouTube...

Examples:

Dealing with silicone contamination when refinishing furniture

Adjusting cross-legged jambs when hanging a door

What is a G13 bi-pin base on a fluorescent tube?

How to dry brush gel stain

How many lumens of light is needed to properly illuminate a 12 x 15 room?

What soft close hinge do I need for a 3/4 inch thick cabinet face frame that has been refaced with an additional 1/4 inch of material?

Best location to mount a vice on a workbench

That type of stuff. YouTube has it all!

I also visit a ton of music videos.

[japple]

19. I had to watch youtube for videos on how to reset the clock in my 2016

Subaru Forester, how to retrofit (remove part of the "safety feature&quot one of the new gasoline containers, and how to do many, many sewing and crafty things, not to mention all the cooking videos.

[LuckyCharms]

22. Yep. A million different things...

My smoke detectors are hard-wired, but they have a battery backup. When I went to change the battery, I couldn't figure out how to get the battery compartment cover off! YouTube showed me. Also, how to change a tail light bulb on my particular vehicle, etc.

[barbtries]

14. i watch court proceedings,

sheep and goat farmers, cattle ranchers, true crime, car crash videos, history and archeology, quiz shows, and various other topics. for a while I watched a slew of TTC channels (trying to conceive). I am currently watching almost every video Meidas Touch uploads. Al Franken's podcast, Pod Save America, etc. Mama Doctor Jones and all the late night comedy shows, though not as frequently these days.

I watch a bunch of Dodo and other happy-making critter videos right here on DU, courtesy of the Lounge. Have also watched a bunch of Hands for Paws, Kitten Lady, and another rescuer whose name escapes me. A faithful viewer of Vet Ranch.

I finally got youtube premium after spending most of the pandemic on youtube, and if I had only one paid video provider this would be it. the content is virtually endless.

my current favorites come and go especially about politics.

[Archae]

15. Something else I like to watch...

When a couple people walk through an abandoned business or home.

Some have really nice things inside!

Others are trashed with graffiti all over.

[japple]

20. Have you watched the ones where old hospitals, asylums are toured. Those are

creepy, sad, but very interesting.

[Archae]

30. Yes I have.

Some are in good shape, others are trashed, still others have simply decayed, peeling walls and ceilings. rusty metal.

[Mr.Bill]

16. Vintage drag racing.

I'm an old-timer and was at drag races in the mid 60s. Usually there's no sound because it's people's old home movies. Sometimes a local news story will have sound.

[Hotler]

35. You might like this. Vintage cars having fun.

And this.
Some old Ford

[Mr.Bill]

36. Thanks.

I owned a handful of those muscle cars in the early 70s. The main thing that comes to mind is I'm glad I owned them when they (and gas) were cheap.
'57 Fairlane Club Coupe
'64 Malibu SS
'65 GTO
'66 Fairlane GT
'57 Corvette

The only one I paid more than $1,000 for was the Corvette. That one was $1,500. The other thing to remember is I owned all those (not at once) before I made $2.50 an hour.

[Karadeniz]

17. Anything Secretariat. Don't waste your time telling me how inhumane horse racing is... I know and

don't support it by betting. But Secretariat is my total weakness.

[marked50]

21. Most of the ones that folks here on DU post if they make it to Greatest Threads...n/t

[teach1st]

24. I like some of the dash cam videos

I was taught to drive in the late '60s by a great driver: my father, who raced sports cars locally. But even his wonderful teachings couldn't prepare this old person for the type of conditions and drivers we have in the present.

Good dash cam videos (not the shock ones) of accidents and near accidents and just plain bad driving help me to prepare for the madness that is urban traffic especially as my reaction time erodes. There's one channel I frequent that would be great as a driver ed course in high school.

[japple]

25. Oh, and I also watched haircut/styling videos and makeovers for awhile until

I got tired of all the false eyelashes.

[japple]

28. I have eczema and have recently discovered Dr. Dray

a dermatologist from Houston, TX who has the best informational videos on skin conditions and how to treat. She has great product recommendations and everything is presented in a very professional manner. This doctor knows her stuff and is very good at explaining it.

[ThoughtCriminal]

29. One star reviews

For a while I was watching these guys that would eat at places that had the worst ratings online and visit hotels that had the worst reviews.

Yeah, it was pretty gross.

[Elessar Zappa]

31. True crime,

old pro-wrestling videos, video game history, ghost hunters, history channels, anything science related, cooking and much more.

[HoosierDebbie]

32. Unexpected interest

I came across some videos on YouTube that were done by lawn care guys. Each tackles mowing and clean up of overgrown lawns for free. I guess somebody recommends where he might go next and he does when he is caught up on paid work. I don't know why I think it is so fascinating, but I have watched several of these.

[japple]

34. I have watched a whole bunch of those, too. It is rewarding

to see a home cleaned up and the homeowner able to enjoy their yards/gardens again.

[MicaelS]

41. Agree completely. n/t

[parkia00]

37. Real Metal Detecting videos

Real as NOT those fake ones where someone with a brand new metal detector with no marks, scruffs on it with brand new shovel and attire no sane metal detectorist would wear and they magically find magnificent lost gold treasure in the ground..... which has no dirt on it.

Also house renovation, history, travel, food

I like Tribal People Try but I have a big question that I cannot seem to find answer to. Those folks that try the food are I assume are Muslim, and some of the food that they eat obviously contain pork. Do they know?!?

[japple]

40. I have never seen a video where the food they were eating contained

pork, but then I haven't watched all of the programs. You could ask that question in a comment to one of the videos. I'll bet someone has an answer.

[XanaDUer2]

38. I adore The Tragical Mystery tours with Scott Michael

His in person tour shut down due to covid. Wish I could have taken it. Covers crime and weird events in LA.

[yellowdogintexas]

39. Last year, it was the volcano in Iceland. We were both obsessed with it.

I re-learned how to crochet with the help of a number of crochet ladies

I watch Trae Crowder, Lincoln Project, Meidas Touch, Texas Paul, Farron Balanced, It's A Southern Thing, Lost In the Pond

I don't watch all of them every day, some of them only drop new stuff once a week.

[Aristus]

42. Tank videos, naturally.

I enjoy the great tank tour videos by Nicholas "The Chieftain" Moran and Richard "The Challenger" Cutland. Moran is a retired American tank officer, and Cutland was a tank sergeant in the British Army.

Both are charming, knowledgeable about tanks, and excellent hosts of numerous videos giving tours inside and outside the great tanks of war history, and a few of some of the more interesting but obscure tanks.

[Ptah]

44. Wristwatch Revival

Wristwatch Revival

[japple]

45. Allright now! That is just the kind of thing I love to watch. Thanks.

[malthaussen]

48. You'd have to define "strange or unusual."

Virtually everything I watch on YT would be considered strange or unusual by someone.

For example, I like to watch vids of baseball and football games from decades in the past. The results are already known and in most cases the players are dead. Why watch, then? Because of the aesthetic of the play, which becomes the prime amusement rather than the uncertainty of the outcome.
