MKBHD (Marques Brownlee)

Marques Brownlee has been the standard tech YouTube gets measured against for the better part of two decades — polished studio shots, unhurried pacing, reviews that never feel rushed to beat a launch-day deadline. What's kept him relevant into the AI era isn't chasing every hype cycle; it's that his AR-glasses and AI-device coverage gets the same skeptical, hands-on treatment his smartphone reviews always have. The annual "Worst Tech of the Year" video is as close to a tech-YouTube institution as exists. If you can only subscribe to one channel on this list, this is the one.
