Inspired by this post but the other way around. Which channels (any subject) do you think have stayed true to their beginnings and are still worth watching today?

My pick would be Gamers Nexus.

    Primitive Technology. He started the whole “build a shelter in the woods” genre that has become so dumb, but his videos are still just as great as ever. No narration or music, other than the sounds of the birds and insects, just interesting experiments into basic technology like shelters, fire, charcoal, kilns, pottery, small machines, bricks, roof tiles, etc., all using only the most primitive stone age tools, created from materials found in the forest and stream around his camp.

    Even his attire is as spare as his videos, just a pair of khaki shorts.

    Currently, he’s working through a series of experiments to make fire hot enough to smelt metal.

    I’ve been watching him since he started, and he’s the only channel that I stop everything to watch when a new video drops.
