LadyAlketo has made so many modifications to the HBS Battletech game that it completely changes it for the better and boosts the game's repeatability.
Josh Stewart has created an Arduino powered fully tunable ECU that I am using in two projects (one mine, one my buddy's).
Sheana crafts her own nerdy scents and artwork for nerd inspired candles. Link is just her store, but I met her at a con and she's awesome!
IvanTheTroll (and cohorts) creates 3D printed guns and releases the models after testing and verifying sturdiness and safety. Currently has a number of pistol designs, a few rifles, and an AK model being released. No link as while it's not against the rules I don't know if it's something @deimos wants here, but a quick DuckDuckGo search of the name will find all you're looking for.
Papadakis: Japanese import racing pioneer, very cool guy from everything I've heard and the couple of times I've met him, has probably forgotten more about building cars than most people in the industry will ever know.
Lord Bung: Interesting and entertaining animated series based on the world of SCP.
The Engineering Guy: Probably needs no introduction here, but he's another great example of does what it says on the tin. Educational engineer.
The History Guy: Last but certainly not least of the does what it says on the tin. Educational historian on history that deserves to be remembered.
Oooooh, I haven't heard of The History Guy or Lord Bung before, but both those channels look right up my alley. Thanks for the recommendations! p.s. Forgotten Weapons is awesome. Seconded. p.p.s....

p.s. Forgotten Weapons is awesome. Seconded.
p.p.s. InRangeTV, which Ian from Forgotten Weapons co-hosts, is also quite good... though it's less history/engineering and more practical shooting focused. C&Rsenal, who Ian has collaborated with on Project Lightening, is also very good and similar to Forgotten Weapons in terms of content.

Happy to help! History Guy is an addiction, the man loves history in a way I've never seen in professors and historians. It's great when you find a video of his that you can see an extra level of passion come through, in this one for example you can get a feeling for his frustration of an injustice both of the what occurred and that it's largely forgotten; he even lets slip a "darn it".
I'm less focused on the shooting side as even my gun collection is based around unique application or function and I don't compete with anyone but myself for accuracy. C&Rsenal is great, I bought their Lightening series and am a big fan of Anvil. While probably not an issue here, their videos tend to be longer and less approachable to new people so I didn't mention it. Plus they only seem to focus on the two world wars and I like variety. Ian is my video-during-breakfast or I've-got-20-minutes-before-my-next-train-stop watch, while C&R is my I'm-in-a-mood-for-a-documentary-cast-to-the-TV watch.

They only have 40,000 subscribers, but Air Command Water Rockets based out of New South Wales, Australia is an incredible team of family hobbyists that build stunning water rockets. They started out using 1.5L PET coke bottles, moved up to multi-stage plastic rockets, and now have the unofficial record for a single stage carbon fibre water rocket. They aren't stopping there though, they're aiming to build a two stager as well.

I'll submit some groups of people that are doing innovative things - admittedly not artistic but more tech-related.
Distributed/Federated chat protocol - like IRC but more modern - although it has potential for even more than chat such as device or IoT communications, etc. : https://matrix.org
Independent, federated web/blog content (i.e. web content that can interact with other entities on the web): https://indieweb.org
The Fediverse ("...federated social networks running on free open software..." that leverages open protocols like ActivityPub, OStatus, etc.: https://fediverse.party/en/fediverse/
Ok, admittedly, it seems I'm promoting more the protocols and efforts...But i wanted to clarify that it is the numerous people behind the above efforts that in my opinion will become (and in some ways already are) the foundations of the next iterations of the greater web. And, these efforts are what excite me about the coming web...so of course I'm following many of the people behind these efforts.
BridgeBurner is a Doom 2 mapping wizard who pushes the limits of architecture and lighting in Doom. I've linked his Twitter but his Discord is also good to hang out in.

Kris de Decker runs a website called Low-tech Magazine that explores simpler technological solutions in pursuit of a sustainable society. The website has been running since 2007 and de Decker publishes around 12 articles per year -- each very well written and supported with in depth historical research. He also runs No Tech Magazine, a blog with shorter articles that are published more frequently, and Human Power Plant, a project investigating realistic applications of human power over fossil and other fuels. Note that Low-tech Magazine is a solar-powered website, run off of a PV system on de Decker's porch.
Every frame a painting has the best formal film criticism I've ever seen on video. And I'm a film major, so I've seen a lot.
I miss it, nobody has really come close both in terms of quality and presentation.

And finally Youtubers...
Technology Connections: Random old tech along with the who, what, when, where, and why
Forgotten Weapons: What it says on the tin, forgotten weapon historian with a focus on operation and engineering.
Abom79: Old school machinist from a family line of old school machinists that is encouraging, friendly, and explains things well.
Mustard: Aviation and transportation history.
Papadakis: Japanese import racing pioneer, very cool guy from everything I've heard and the couple of times I've met him, has probably forgotten more about building cars than most people in the industry will ever know.

Well I have watched entirely too many Lord Bung videos today. Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome! Now you'll be just like the rest of us and waiting impatiently for the next one. One of us, one of us.

Oh yeah, fans of both for sure. Just didn't want to list my entire YT subscriptions and I like Technology Connections' brand of humor the most.

I don't have a decent summary, other than maybe calling it a diary of ideas.
