I'm a huge fan of the Lucky Garden YouTube channel. A gentleman named Alex from Belarus does a fantastic job covering various tomatoes he has grown, their strengths, weaknesses, history, size, etc. It's very well done. If you haven't seen him I'd encourage you to give him a look.
It occurred to me though that there are probably many other channels of merit and that this might be the place to find out about them. What are your favorite YouTube channels and/or other sources of great content? (Other than this site of course!)

Yes I have grown some variety from his recommendation.
Charles Dowding I enjoy even though I no longer subscribe to strict no tilling.
Growfully with Jenna because we live in the same state so there are some good insights.
'suburban homestead' have some very quality videos but doesn't upload often.
These days I watch youtube gardening channels more for enjoyment than needing to be told to do things a certain ways, so more about the experience than the ones that subscribe to a fixed methodology. It seems ridiculous, but I have unsubscribed from channels that constantly tells me the only correct way to grow tomato is single stemming and excessive pruning, or that I should never till, or never use synthetic fertilizer. Unfortunately some of the really good old timers like praxxus55712 and mhpgardener no longer upload. SelfSufficientMe I still subscribe to ever since he has less than 10k subscribers, he didn't lost his luster for me because he doesn't try hard to push a certain way.

I know how you feel, there's many videos that turn me off for the same reason. Of course, the old timers can do the same thing - my Czech father-in-law lives with us and every year he gets so frustrated as I try different experiments, and different approaches to everything. He's definitely in the "single leader, prune all suckers" camp
Which is fine, but maybe not the only way. Even if it is the only way, I still need to try the other ways to make sure, lol.
I still watch self-sufficient me sometimes. I was always a teensy bit jealous of those huge banana trees he had behind the Birdie beds! Must be nice to garden in a zone 10/11 some days. But I would miss the changing seasons and snow skiing.

One of my favorite YouTubers no longer uploads, but if you want some general garden inspiration, try Mike Hurdiss Allotment Days. What he does is amazing!
I do still enjoy Epic Gardening and its spinoff, Jacques in The Garden.
