As part of my holiday season product and discussion roundups, I'm going to round up a few things that aren't products but rather more people who talk about products. This is going to be my top five favorite underrated tech channels on YouTube.

First up, we have Craft Computing's Jeff, who has been told he looks very much like me, which I find kind of amusing because I don't think so. However, he does a great job and actually just started his channel back in 2017. He hit the ground running making good content and covers it from a kind of IT professional perspective. He started out doing knockoff budget motherboards and Chinese ripoffs of products, and there's a lot of good PC hardware coverage overall. As a whole, what I'm drinking today is kind of an adult beverage spin that is lost on me because I don't drink, but his overall channel is really good. I hope to see him in 2019 hit some major milestones because his content is pretty awesome and he's improved a lot along the way over a very short amount of time.

Coming in at number two, we have Phil's Computer Lab, who is a retro tech enthusiast going much more hardcore into those things than most of us that even touch retro tech. He covers all of the different motherboards and chipsets and RAM compatibility and GPU performance as if they're new hardware that you need to benchmark and really cover deeply. What he provides is kind of like an archive of stuff that you can't really find a lot of information for these days, and it really helps a lot of us retro enthusiasts and old computer hardware enthusiasts figure out what exactly we should be looking for and things like that. This is pretty cool.

At number three, we have Bad Seed Tech's Brian, who makes some really cool product reviews. His channel is still very much growing, but he seems to have a lot more context than I do, given his size of around 25k subs at the moment. He needs a lot more and I want to see a lot of people go to him, but he's doing really good work. He does some really awesome product shots, and he puts in the time to make sure that his b-roll is just kind of killer. The videos are entertaining, and he covers the products from a kind of real user perspective, not just giving you five hundred things this week and saying "here's what I think about it." This approach has been praised for being more relatable.

Number four on my list is Armando Ferreira, who does some really good work. He even has a Tested Tuesday series where he covers production gear from a kind of technical standpoint with regards to how useful it is for your own workflow or different ways that you could use it. He covers cameras and sensor differences, things like that, but also covers other kinds of gear like motorized sliders and little things that can be added to your camera. One example he found was one of the first dual-SI fast-to-SSD adapters for a C200. What's great about Armando is that he covers a lot of technical aspects of production gear that a lot of production channels don't cover, and this is something I appreciate a lot.

Finally, at number five on my list is Gerald Unruh, who goes even deeper into the technical side of things than most people do. He covers the differences in debayering methods, true color science of raw images from camera sensors, and different aspects of camera lenses and lighting. This is really deep stuff that a lot of people don't think about but should. Gerald is actually working on a video soon on 30fps versus 24fps for YouTube, which has been something I've kind of shared some unappreciated hot takes about on Twitter.

this is gonna be my top five favorite underrated or what I consider underrated tech channels on YouTube these are in no particular order I cannot stress this enough because I'm not ranking these of like best the worst but we are gonna start with craft computing Jeff over at craft computing who have been told looks very much like me which I find kind of amusing cuz I don't think so but he does a great job and actually just started his channel back and I believe 2017 and has already grown a lot because he hit the ground running making good content and he covers it from kind of a you know an IT professional perspective he started out doing you know knockoff budget motherboards and Chinese ripoffs of products and there's a lot of good PC hardware coverage and as a whole what I'm drinking today kind of adult beverage spin that is lost on me because I don't drink but his overall channel is really good and I hope to see him in 2019 hit some major milestones because his contents pretty

lot of us retro enthusiasts and old computer hardware enthusiastic and of figure out what exactly we should be looking for and things like that which is pretty cool and number three we have bad seed tech Brian over at bad seed tech makes some really cool product reviews his channels still very much growing but he seems to have a lot more context than I do and my size given that he's only I think he's around 25k subs at the moment he needs a lot more and I want to see a lot of people go to him but he's doing really good work does some really awesome product shots really puts in the time to make sure that his b-roll is just kind of killer and the videos are entertaining and covers the products from a kind of real users perspective and not just oh I review five hundred things this week so here's a general overview like he he has the real world like this was an issue for me while using it complaints that I like to see in reviews and so he does a great job number four is Armando Ferreira fair reira fair Ferreira I'm never gonna say that right and I apologize Armando does some really good work and even has a tested Tuesday series where he covers production gear from a kind of more technical standpoint with regards to how useful it is for your own workflow or different ways that you could use it and covers the more kind of the more technical aspects because he does cover cameras and sensor differences and things like that but he also covers you know motorized sliders and little things like that little things that you can add to your cameras like we found one of the first dual si fast to SSD adapters for a C 200 he covers a lot of the more technical aspects of production gear that a lot of the production channels don't cover I appreciate that a lot and that goes in with my number five slot which is Gerald undone and he goes even deeper on the technical side covering the differences of debayering method methods of the true color science of raw images from camera sensors and the different aspects of camera lenses and lighting and just goes really deep on a lot of technical stuff that a lot of people don't think about but they should think about and he's actually doing a video soon on 30fps versus 24 FPS for YouTube and that's been something that I've kind of shared some unappreciated hot takes if you will on the Twitter's about and so I'm very much excited to see what he has to say about that so there you have it five what I consider to be underrated tech channels on YouTube that I have been watching this year that I very much enjoy and I think you all should go check out so do check them out links will be in the description down below obviously no one paid me to say this or anything like that they don't even know I'm making this video and like I said I
