Just discovered this guy’s brilliant channel, he does a lot of shorts. I don’t like he’s using those annoying gothic Unicode characters in his channel name which makes it hard to read. Anyway, his whole thing is doing videos about Robin Hood, he’s a good shot with a bow too. Perfect example of choosing a niche and going with it!

Anyone remember Spangles? No me, neither. Just kidding, I really like this guy’s channel all about the UK in previous decades, really well done videos and no AI used which is a bonus.

And that is quite enough I think, I have added way too many videos to this article, I’m sorry if your PC or phone can’t load it according to Chrome, this page is using 1GB of RAM according to my Chrome! Next I’ll make a shorter list. Anyway, that’s just some of the videos I’ve been watching over the past few weeks, I probably shouldn’t make this too frequent a thing as it would get a bit boring, but yeah, more videos coming soon, I’ll try and only pick the best ones next time!
