None.
If someone puts out videos that have useful info and are three minutes or less, please let me know.
At the same time, these Youtube guys fill a very useful role for many. Hat's off!

There so many good ones out there that the list would be quite long. I would say I see at least 50 different ones consistently every week. What type of content do you like? Do you like the ones that do lots of blend reviews? Fun and different content? GAWs and YABOs? Let me know what you like and I can recommend a few.

I like Stuff and Things, and NW Pipe Smoker for his philosophy.

I am drifting away from Youtube... might use them for a post here and there, but follow none...no longer use Google, and am only using FB because it makes sense for the pipe club, that may end too.
I don’t like the fact that they are trying to crush free speech.
They have gotten pretty arrogant with their power.

None. I don't do YouTube and don't feel I am missing much from pipers 30 to 40 years my junior.

Just Aristacob and Muttin Chop Piper.
I used to watch Stuff and Things but I got real tired of him always mentioning Elizabethan.

I used to watch a few. On occasion I would watch aristocob and his other channel with his son, markwood men's breakfast club.
I liked stogiefarts. His sense of humour is brilliant, but he hadn't posted a pipe video in ages (until a couple of months ago).
I like short videos, so if people go on for too long I get bored.

None. Some just got too preachy about what a pipe smoker was supposed to be, how they should act, etc.

I like NW PipeSmoker. I don't agree with everything, but he's very transparent, and his videos are like sitting and smoking with a friend.
Aristacob is pretty cool as well. I smoked a bowl in my Aristocob metal at the Raleigh pipe show with Scott and his boy.

None. I do watch some informational videos on YouTube but don't seem to watch anything pipe related.

I occasionally watch Stuff and Things: for rather reasonable reviews Briar Blues: for pipe related info, especially on Castello Bremen Pipe Smoker: for reviews on European tobaccos not always available in the US (and a nice travelogue)
I used to watch others, but found that either I knew more than them or they really didn't add anything to my dialogue, or they presented incorrect information, or were just plain idiots.

I should add and qualify, by use of the word 'idiot' I include those who use their YTPC channel for political rants, social comments, auction housing, or preaching. There are a lot of YTPCers I don't watch for lack of time or lack of interest. Many of these use their channel as an opportunity to share their lives and that's ok. That's what we do here on the Patch. I just didn't want anyone to interpret my criticism too broadly.

I follow a few. None of these folks think they are pipe smoking gurus. Just good people. NWPipeSmoker. I like the fact Tom takes us with to different places. Not just about pipes. Bremen pipe smoker. Mark is a historian. So his videos are about tobacco, but also about some historical place he may be at. Toking Tommy. Just straight forward tobacco reviews. In every day terms. Stuff snd Things. Bradley is well spoken and does very good tobacco reviews, to me any way. Matches860. Just enjoy having a smoke with John.
And ever since Trailboss posted the thread about Mudlarking and clay pipes. Nicole White Mudlark. It’s not about pipes and tobacco. But she finds so many clay pipes, among other old things along the Thames river. It’s fascinating.

Matches........860.
Metalheadcigarguy.
And the legendary John Doe. Although he hasn’t posted in quite a while. He answers all the tough questions. Everything you need to know about aging tobacco.

I like watching Matches860 when he and Vinny (SgtSavinelli) have their meetups. I think NWPipesmoker has some thoughtful stuff to watch. I don’t watch too many others really. Used to love watching Stogiefarts and his brother and cousin smoking back in the day, I found it humorous. I don’t like to many “how to” videos because every style is different and I like to find my own way. Just like some cigar videos that say you have to cut a certain way, light with the three match technique or toast v don’t toast, soft flame v torch lighter etc. I like understanding the different methods but if someone says “you always need to make sure you..... whatever”, it’s a turnoff. I’ve lit cigars on my stove if I can’t find a lighter or I’ve pulled a burning stick out of a campfire to light my pipe and it works.

I don't follow any YouTube pipers. I do, however, listen to The Pipes Magazine Radio Show podcast and also Pipe and Tamper. When commuting to work, primarily.
