One of the best ever
Very high quality.
If anything keeps upping the ante that's why it takes him so long

Numberphile and any other channel by Brady Haran.
Tasting History with Max Miller.
Crash Course
Tom Scott with amazing places & things you might not know.
But he stopped making videos. I'd say that's a significant drop in quality.
He placed the main channel on hold, but has still continued to produce content. He has an extraordinary game show in podcast format that shares very unique trivia called Lateral. He is also in the post-production phase of a new run of videos featuring a big road-trip, according to his newsletter. He also occasionally still makes new series of Technical difficulties.

Puts out videos super rarely, because they're often upwards of 10 hours long, but Tim Rogers/Action Button makes amazing videos

For gaming content, I've been following CallMeKevin for several years. His stuff is always a good time.
Good time? More like bore ragnarok.

If you don't really care about exotic fruit adventures, at least watch his feature length Nutmeg documentary it's most excellent.
Boomer shooter comedic...retrospectives? I like him.

He repairs very old electronics and is soothing to listen to.
I don't even really care about motorcycles, but their video editing skills are incredible.

I find a lot of obscure old games to play via this guy and his videos are high effort.

Have a good day!
A lovely weird Canadian artist I adore.
Never has a lull, always good.
Still waiting for him to connect the secret tunnel to his bloody bunker though. THAT WAS THE BLOODY POINT OF IT. But nooo, he got too into the idea of an underground garage. Which is, in fairness, very cool.

Regular Car Reviews for sure
Esoterica is really one of those channels that seems to gain in quality over the years. This summer's seminar on Merkabah literature was just bonkers ! If you like religious history the whole channel is a must watch.
This is a great channel!
Redlettermedia, Internet Comment Etiquette, Minute Physics and Crash Course.
Cross-instance linking is a mess. You linked to an ad for your mobile app, which links to a kbin instance, which links back to lemmy.world... The app page devotes most of its space to download links while kbin demands the viewer log in before it will show them anything.
Technology Connections are great, but this doesn't feel very connected.

Bad Obsession Motorsport ! I've been watching them build a Mini rally car for 12 years. They keep getting distracted by perfectionism and I'm very here for it.
Project Farm
Honestly I have begun to question whether Project Farm staying exactly the same is good or not for me as a viewer.
I used to watch every video, even if it was for a tool I'd never need myself. Now on a lot of them, I just tend to watch just the beginning to see the initial assessment of the competing products and the final summary, since I know what the whole middle is going to be.
I'm sure that's not the healthiest thing for the channel, as it cuts "engagement time" and I'd like to see a heat map to see if I'm not the only one doing this.
I just trust the guy maybe too much at this point, plus since most products I don't need, I'm not that invested in the minutia show by the main segment of the videos.
None of this is a knock on the channel or his videos, but as the question was about what has stayed good and you are still watching, that made me think how PF was still as good as ever, but that has somewhat reduced my watching of it.
I'm in the same boat. I subscribed to the lowest tier of his Patreon to stop feeling guilty : https://www.patreon.com/projectfarm
