Will have to check out a few of these.

Sad Tech with Tim didn't make it on there. He's a pretty brilliant teacher for such a young fella.

Code drip is amazing too, super high quality well thought out videos

I hear you. Yeah I agree. But there were a few videos of theirs which were educative, hence I didn't want to miss them, and also as developers I thought it's good to have respect for all, as even that content creation that they're doing is difficult and needs dedication.
I understand your point of view. ๐Ÿ™‚ Thanks for sharing ๐Ÿ™‚

I really like codingarden ( youtube.com/c/CodingGardenWithCJ ).
He used to do livestreams on YT and Twitch but not he only does Twitch and vod them on YT. But i learn stuff while watching something that is entertaining (altough the vods could be very long!)

No offense but I didn't find Telusko good at all(personal opinion). For Java and Spring related I would suggest Java Brains. Do check him.
Good list though, will surely check. Also comment section has many good suggestions.

I donโ€™t know about you guys but The Tech Lead is pretty toxic imo. I would like to add one more channel to the list. Ben Award is really good too and quite entertaining to watch.
