Here's a June 2022 article where it is stated that Couch Collectibles is the most subscribed to coin collecting channel on YouTube with over 420K subscribers.

Here's one of his videos with over a million views if you're interested (I didn't watch it all):

Good for the hobby? I'd say generally yes in raising awareness but obviously with an emphasis on jackpot collecting. Perhaps that leads some to our forum with their mysterious findings.

Yes, he is very informative.
Been watching him for quite sometime.
However, many other channels are just as good or even better.
He's a good guy. Did not realize how many subscribers he had though.
Wow! They receive funds from YouTube too!
Thanks for posting.

My YouTube Channel
Dr. G and CoinTable are far and away the best numismatic YouTubers out there. All of their videos are highly entertaining and full of good and correct information, which is a rarity for YouTube coin videos.

What’s YouTube? 😁

Hasn't he been not making videos for years now?
It would seem that popular does not equate to educational. I don't watch any of the youtube junk but from what has been said it seems that this operator is hyping the get rich quick stuff, so its no real surprise that he is popular.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
I also avoid the you tube crap as it just seems it's all "get rich from pocket change" click bait. Then members on these forums have to break the bad news and explain the whole story (many times to unbelieving and /or argumentative newbies)
That being said, I think positive recommendations from established members like @FlyingAl have some merit and may warrant a look (I noted you posted "correct information" in your post)
I occasionally go to the tube, but just to get a specific answer on identifying a coin variety. I'd rather ask the question here or go directly to a member. The knowledge of the members on this forum is strong and freely given. MAY THE FORUM BE WITH YOU

Unfortunately yes, but the coins showed in his videos are worth a rewatch every now and then.

True, good point. The channel "Make Numismatics Great Again" is good and worth checking out too.
About useful YouTube streams/videos.
I mentioned this one a number of times.
The channel that is a great educational one is
"info@livecoinqa.com".
This is the one that has a panel of 4-5 well informed teachers on the current or old school variety coins of our present day! Every viewer gets the chance to post a coin or two by email to them and get to talk about their coin/s. I been a frequent viewer that post many of my coins on their weekly streams. They even like me!
No seriously, this channel is worth a look into, believe me. Tell them "Joey K." said, "Hi!".
As a matter of fact, they're on tonight!
7:30pm Central time.
Check it out guys.
One of my coins will be featured again.
