Let me start by saying, I was never really one to go on YouTube just to watch other people's videos. However, over the past few years, my husband has slowly been getting me to watch a variety of videos on YouTube. It has gotten to the point where I can now say I subscribe to numerous channels and I wanted to take a moment and share my top 5 favorite channels, and why they are my favorite.
1: Philip Defranco- For those of you who have never seen his channel before, he tends to cover a range of topics from top news stories, to movies or shows coming out, controversial topics, etc. He has a large number of followers and appears on more than just YouTube. Apart from being pretty funny, I love how honest he is about where he stands on the subjects he talks about, all while knowing that many people may not agree with him or may even hate him for it. In a world/society where many people shy away from sharing their views to avoid public backlash, he stands out in many ways. However, slight disclaimer to parents, please check out his channel yourself first before deciding if your okay with your child watching it.
2: IMomSoHard- If you like comedy and are a mom, this is hands down the channel for you to subscribe to. There isn't a single video they have posted that doesn't make me literally laugh out loud. Essentially the channel is of two moms who get together and talk about the many aspects of having kids and being married. To make things more interesting they always seem to be drinking some type of alcoholic beverage while they are making their videos. While this channel may seem to be geared more towards moms, I feel many dads would get a kick out of their posts as well (this feeling being based on how much my husband laughs when he watches it with me).
3: Anonymous- Now this channel is unique to any other channel I have come across on YouTube. The videos are not made by one single person or even a small group of people. This channel consists of a bunch of ordinary, every day citizens (most, if not all being hackers). There goal is to shed light on the major issues of the world, where it is heading, to expose corrupt leaders, and to motivate average citizens to make a difference in this world. Another interesting fact about this group, is that even though they have enough followers to be able to make money off of this channel, they choose not to so they can keep their anonymity. If you are into politics, then you will want to hit the subscribe button.
4: Cayleigh Elise- So for those of you who like creepy/wierd stuff, paranormal tales, myths and legends, etc., then this is a channel to look into. I am a newer subscriber to her channel, but have watched quite a few of her videos with my husband and I have to say, out of all the women who have horror channel's, she is my favorite. Most of the horror channels can tend to all start saying the same things and sounding the same in the end, but hers is unique because she really lets her personality shine through and is one of the only horror channels that can get me to laugh.
5: Lazy Masquerade- The last channel on our list is another horror channel. He has everything ranging from reddit stories, to submitted stories, unsolved crimes/mysteries, etc. Unlike Cayleigh Elise, he doesn't reveal his appearance, but he does find the perfect backdrops to display for his viewers as they listen to the different stories he shares. Out of all the male horror channel's I am subscribed to, he comes out with new content the most. If you are okay with maybe not being able to fall asleep after listening to what I consider is the internet's equivalent of ghost stories around the campfire, then his channel is worth looking into.
