I don't work on my cars much any more but I have seen a few of his videos and like his clear and no-nonsense approach. Muuuuuch more useful than a certain YouTube mechanic who is always ranting and raving from behind his sunglasses, that guy is all nonsense.
Surprised nobody has mentioned "The Car Care Nut" yet. Ahmed is a Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician who now had his own shop in the Chicago area. Almost all of his videos are Toyota/Lexus focused. Honest guy. You can learn a lot from him.
"Jay Leno's Garage" is always interesting, especially for oddball stuff.
p.s. 95% of the time the television is on, I'm watching some YouTube video about something or other. The commercials are a pain, but at least you can skip past them after somewhere between 5 and 30 seconds.
Not a channel per se, but I've gone down the Ken Block rabbit hole a few times on Youtube. Some pretty wild driving. Lord knows how many sets of tires he's destroyed.
Car content is mostly what I watch. My main 'review' channels that I watch:
Throttle House (favorite car reviewers)
Savagegeese
The Straight Pipes
Doug Demero (though I have been watching his car reviews less and less, but I like the other content he's been posting recently)
MilesPerHr
EddieX
Speed Phenom
TheTopher
Raiti's Rides
Tedward
I also like these for the car content:
Stradman - this was one of the first car channels I started watching many years ago. His new stuff the last year or so is getting a bit old/boring of just moving cars around, taking deliveries of cars, etc.
Burlacher
Emelia Hartford
Stephan Lewis
VinWiki
Luke Terry
Drew Peacock
Cars Across Texas
Street Speed 717
Matts Off Road
The Hamilton Collection
HeavyDSparks
I find that site very informational. I used to be turbine engine mechanic and the simplicity of a turbine engine versus the Rube Goldberg design of some piston engines is provocative.
For example, look at his dis-assembly of a recent Nissan 3 cylinder engine that uses both turbocharging and a weird variable-displacement mechanism to expand the dynamic range of a piston engine. As a science experiment it's notable, but I think the resulting complexity just makes long term reliability questionable.
If I compare and contrast that to the Mazda normally aspirated 2.5L engine in my 2012 Ford Fusion, the Mazda engine has no turbocharger, no high pressure fuel pump and no variable displacement mechanism. The tradeoff is less mileage. However, I'll gladly tolerate just 23 mpg in return for long term reliability.
