Who Do I Subscribe To On YouTube?
I mentioned in one of my Instagram stories that I watch a lot of content on YouTube for entertainment and education, and people were interested in the channels I watch. If you find a new YouTube channel from the list below, I think it would be great to let each other know. So, if you subscribe to someone new based on this list, comment "Sam Does Design sent me here!" on the next video they post. I'll watch that new video too, and will look out for the comments to say hi! I think it would be amazing to find out what everyone's watching, and connecting with this community is always super fun.
There are some huge channels here with 10+ million subscribers, and also some smaller channels too. I've separated them out into different sections, but this isn’t every channel I subscribe to. There are plenty of designers that I follow, and we all took part in the 7 questions challenge series. The full industrial designer list is available on that video!
I also imagine this list would be really useful for the creators featured on this list. Seeing what other channels one of their subscribers subscribes to (does that make sense?) could be great for content and collaboration ideas.
Got any similar channels that you think I’d enjoy? Let me know in the comments section of this post. And, without further ado, here's that list!
