Recommend some YouTube channels
Discussion
Like everyone else (most people) I am now at the end of any useful work I can do and am bored out of my tree. PLEASE recommend some car based YouTube channels that I will like.
For guidance, here are my thoughts on a few popular ones:
Harry’s Garage - really enjoy it, a bit of an old man rambling is a small price to pay for thoughtful, insightful commentary on the cars from a man who has earned the ability to buy them.
JayEmm - I don’t really watch them anymore. Not at all bad but generally manages to cram two minutes content into half an hour, has a generally very negative outlook and it’s got to the point that I’m irritated every time he mentions Lotus.
Shmee150 - Just not for me. I find the lack of detail and genuine insight is not worth sitting through the hyperbolic screeching faux excitement.
Seen Through Glass - Diet Shmee150
Chris Harris - seems to have gone a bit ‘mainstream’ but still enjoyable

Harry's channel is by far the best in my view. Always an interesting selection of cars and a very relaxed style.
I don't know a couple of the others you mention but I also watch Number 27 and Carfection. Oh and occasionally The Car Guys. Not quite as good as Harry but usually some interesting cars, again from an owner's perspective. And Petrolicious.

Davide Cironi is on another level in terms of authenticity and getting under the skin of really exciting cars. Technical knowledge, appreciates real driving experience over the colour of bonnet stripes, full of Italian enthusiasm and drives the cars as they should be. The last couple of minutes of each review are often just in car footage of him giving full beans.
Carfection - Henry Catchpole’s current home. Love his work !
Jay Leno’s Garage - Harry’s on steroids !
The Smoking Tyre- Best US one I would say apart from Jay Leno
Tyrrell’ s Classic Workshop= Ian Tyrrell first featured on Harry’s Garage stripping his Espada engine. Has now started his own channel...I really like it.

Mr JWW, suppose to be in the top 100 influencers on Youtube. Quality content . Just done a film on the McLaren F1
Retropowercars - just built a Mk1 Escort for Gordon Murray .
It's interesting how the film content has improved. It use to be just a guy talking cars with a GoPro, or iPhone. Now it's drones, proper cameras, lighting, camera cars with booms for tracking etc etc

These were the two I was going to suggest, some of the stuff Henry Catchpole has done with Porsche and McLaren are beautifully filmed. I know the OP has been looking at McLarens, this is still one of my favorites https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kU08GySJDNQ…...

I’ll take a look but that information fills me with dreadhttps://youtu.be/tqepDxuwwHE
It’s worth enduring Mr JWW because it’s a fantastic and very eclectic collection of cars....clearly someone who loves cars who happens to be wealthy enough to buy some amazing cars. After watching that I tried a couple of others on the channel and gave up

Doug DeMuro is great - probably my favourite just now along with Harry’s Garage.
The Smoking Tyre and B is for Build are good too - a bit American but fun.
My guilty pleasure is AdamC. Good coverage of UK car shows, interspersed with some chavs, entertaining, sets himself apart from the UK automotive YouTuber mould - sometimes good, sometimes bad.

JayEmm has become a clickbaiter. He has moved on from whining about Lotus. McLaren is now his obsession. For guidance, here are my thoughts on a few popular ones:
