5 Unique YouTube Channels You Should Be Watching

The Fine Brothers' React Series

What started off as a group of kids 12 and under reacting to viral videos once a month, has expanded to a multi-channel platform with a combined total of over 17 million subscribers. Since its creation in 2010, Benny and Rafi Fine have added on to what was once just Kids React to include Teens React, Elders React, Youtubers React, and Parents React-- not to mention additional content such as kids reacting to strange foods and teens playing through popular video games. The React Series displays different demographics' reactions to popular YouTube videos, songs, video games, current events, and almost anything else you can imagine. From the serious (Teens React to the Newton Shooting) to the silly (Kids React to Nyan Cat), the Fine brothers always guarantee entertainment.

Crash Course

A joint effort created by Hank and John Green, Crash Course is a free educational tool that takes you through subjects such as Chemistry, Literature, World History, and Economics. Hank and John (along with several of their friends) give you the basic knowledge needed on any subject while somehow managing to make you laugh along the way. With education costing more and more each year, it is nice to see a new way to learn any time you choose for free.

Screen Junkies' Honest Trailers Series

Honest Trailers remakes movie trailers into a brutally honest, hilarious satire. Covering every movie from Frozen to Pitch Perfect to Mission: Impossible, you will assuredly find a movie trailer just for you. Screen Junkies releases a new trailer for your entertainment every week, and also has Honest Game Trailers updated bi-weekly on a separate channel (SmoshGames) for all video game lovers out there.

The Game Theorists

Speaking of gaming, how could one make an article about unique YouTube channels without including the one and only, Game Theory. Surprisingly, Matthew Patrick's (better known as MatPat) channel did not start off as the source of all gaming speculation, but instead was used to upload videos of small town plays starring Patrick. However, in April 2011 MatPat found his YouTube niche uploading videos breaking down simple games into shockingly convincing conspiracies. Any avid gamer should give MatPat a chance to explain how Mario is actually mentally insane.

CPG Grey

CPG Grey is the absolute master at explaining complicated matters in a simple, easily understandable manner. He skips from subject to subject every week, once explaining the United States' debt limit and the next time teaching his subscribers how to become Pope. This always entertaining YouTube channel is another free source of knowledge you should be taking advantage of.

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
