Shooting, pesting, testing, reviews, equipment, instructional videos? Or a combination of things...?
What kind of YouTube airgun videos do you like the most?

Combo, in limited doses. I have watched far too many over the years and fatigue / boredom has set in. I find myself fast forwarding through the ones I used to watch end to end, and thinking I should send my own projectiles down a tube vs. watching some other junkie get their fix.

By and large the topics don't matter too much. It just has to be well-made and considerate.
For example, I like the AAR On-Line channel. Often I'm not all that interested in what he's reviewing, but he puts a lot of thought and care into his production. And he's very human about it -- his little snips with his wife are pretty cute and authentic.
That's the only airgun channel I watch with any regularity. I watch AvE as it feels "super-Canadian". I watch Perun for analysis of the war in Ukraine.

This may sounds trite, but HONEST ones.
Every gun isn't great - let's keep them real like Dana does.

Tear down and reassembly videos are all we need. You can’t turn one of those videos into a fluff piece.

Septicdeath (Professor) videos are the best at keeping our air gun heritage alive, very noble endeavor, I look forward to watching. WM

It depends on the topic and what catches my attention. Like Gerhards as long as he or the other fella DONT say the distance after every $$/& hit. Danna is good. Bob o was great and still watch him not airgun related. Some of Mats is good when its about information . I won’t mention the others that I just can’t endure because of speech, clanging and banging music introductions and those who call hunting “pesting.”

Reviews and instructional. Utterly despise YouTube shorts though. There is a channel that I really like when an actual video is done but they put out a short literally everyday and I’m sick of checking the notices of a new video for it only to be a short.

Only when I need to know how to take something apart. The rest is usually too much to take.

I like the UK based channels. Andy AAR on Air, AirgunGear Show, ReplicaReviews. Also Matt from South Africa. The only pesting channel I find real entertaining is EDGun Leshiy's backyard hunting stuff. The slo-mo "tracer" slugs exploding tree rats to the accompaniment of instrumental Johnny Cash on steel guitar is wonderful.

Some pesting, instructional dis-assembly/assembly on the airguns I own or thinking of buying, mods. Repairs on everything from chainsaws, tillers, vehicles, mowers, or whatever else is broken. I like machining videos also. Joe Pie, Blondihacks, Abom79, MrPete222, etc.

I'm not sure what to say about the Edgun Leshiy channel. It's basically a "candy" channel. I generally refrain from candy, but every once and a while I indulge. And the Edgun Leshiy channel is fine candy.

I like a lot of different subjects. That way, when I get bored watching pesting videos, I watch reviews, or competitions, or whatever else there is. I watch them more from an entertainment perspective, than anything else. Although from time to time, I’ll watch an instructional video if I feel the need to tear into one of my guns for some reason. It’s nice to have that option.

when im looking at a gun i want to see vids that are going to give me a real feel for it .. ok its pretty accurate and you have great editing skills and your opinion is gospel ... show me the gun in use, more cam on the gun, loading it, airing it etc .. the shots through your 900$ scope i dont really give a rats behind about, alittle of that is ok, but the accuracy is established .. show me more of the dam gun ..

Instructional videos are about all I am down to. But lately I have found some big bore videos that I find entertaining because I have not watched a ton of them

It really depends on what I am looking for at that time.
So, I guess, if you push me to make a choice, then it would be HONEST, not paid for, reviews and information. No matter the video quality.
Yeah... that IS a Unicorn... Honesty is the Unicorn.

Often the reason for the expensive glass is to get good scope footage (clearer glass means a better image for the viewer).
