Hehe 49.9K subs.
OP wanted <50,000 subscriibers. That’s the only one I have in my subscriptions that qualifies 🙂 I have a boatload of <100,000 and <150,000 subscribers in my list though, and they’re really interesting but that’s not what the OP wanted so I didn’t post them.
Carter Amelia Davis is currently my favourite channel. Very surreal art. So Extremely Itchy is her best work imo.
Ty & that guy - I think it’s done now but there is plenty of content for fans of The Expanse. Ty Frank(1 of 2 that form the author, S.A. Corey) and Wes Chatham(Amos from the show) talk about every episode of the show and when they finished that, they talked about movies they like. Wes is pretty funny and Ty is just really intelligent.
Crows thrifty finds. She’s a flipper who offers good advice. Just a normal person who talks about their hobby/ side hustle.

He’s a geologist who does a weekly video rounding up what perseverance has been up to and it’s one of the best parts of my Sunday.
Artifactually Speaking: An actual archaeologist bringing you exclusive footage and explanations, working theories from the digs he works around Ur. His video correcting some of Miniminuteman’s mistakes is probably what he is most known for. But this one, where he follows an expert’s tour of an ancient house, with explanatory interjections, and a very human story in the middle, might be his best. As well as the continuation of that video, where we follow the careful retrieval of ancient tablets.
