MKBHD is the last person I’d go to for anything tech related.

He, like many others, do little more than just read spec sheets.

I like his car related content though, reckless driving notwithstanding

Is there a BOLTR for general tech? For Instruments there is evvlog… but general tech?
Alec Watson of Technology Connections is my favourite for technology in general.
You know, I've watched basically every video of his for several years now (as well as going back in the archives for some of his older stuff), and I think this is the first time I've ever encountered his name.
Is there a way to get hours watched for a particular channel out of YouTube?

Another high-hour channel for me is Petter of Mentour Pilot.

As an Australian, those two guys accents their way of framing things are like mum’s lullabies.

He has made me extremely enthusiastic for heat pumps.
Me too, though it turns out certain types of houses don't support just replacing furnace with a central heat pump. No free lunch in thermodynamics :(
Have you heard about brown?
I have found Mr. Mobile (Michael Fisher) to be quite good. He does some sort of a road trip or excursion as a real world tech review and also covers a lot of old and quirky hardware.
+1 for MrMobile (Michael Fisher), he comes across as more impartial than a lot of the other folks.
I find his channel useful just for getting an opinion from a end-user perspective of what a product is like; that's a legitimate opinion, not every data point needs to be a deep dive into the manufacturing process of a particular gadget.
