this games of thrones YouTube channel, one of the best. perhaps top 5. By Alt Shift X

example:

and this one games of thrones 权力的游戏 in chinese. also incredible. by 青蛙刀圣_1993

example:

both of them have reviews and commentary on the episodes, also videos on the characters. both are in depth, i.e. they also read the book. i don't have TV. so all i've watched is on YouTube snippets and read online wiki. Epic story.

it's incredible what you find on YouTube these days. this pewdiepie, got 95M followers. https://www.youtube.com/user/PewDiePie i've watched maybe 5 or 6 of his video. incredibly idiotic. contentless. truly amazing what milen gen are watching.

am trying to judge what kinda get popular. 1st, most youtube watchers are younger crowd. 2nd is the subject matter. More brainless, more people watch. Then, how good you are. If you really good, e.g. CGP, veritasium, jordan peterson, you can break barrier.

also, pretty girls get the break. They can easily break 1M while doing not much.

note, some video takes a lot work. e.g. CGP 5 min video take him days or weeks. While veritasium sometimes require travel, or science experiment preparation, or expensive equipment. While others require no work. e.g. joe rogan idiot and pewdiepie. and most talk shows or “comedians” are like that.

James Charles, 16M followers. Jeffree Star , 14M. both sissified guy, doing makeup. here's a video you can see both jeffree and james charles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rfs-4DPlm7I
