The-digital-picture is an excellent site. I like reviews that are matter of fact and present measurements and preferably images as well. There are several reliable ones like, Digital Camera World, PCMag, Lenstip, Optyczne, ePhotozine, Opticallimits etc. However, YouTubers grinning and waving their arms and telling a story seem to be much more popular.That's right, I am with you, since everyone has different approaches and interests in photography. Personally, when I want to read a thorough and long review, I still prefer Bryan Carnathan's old site the-digital-picture.com, his photo site was amongst of the first ones to cover real world reviews. Many years ago I had a bit communication exchange with him about a then new Canon lens I had problems with, and I experienced him to be a very nice and helpful guy. I do value his work until today. Another valuable source of information is the Lensrentals blog, in particular their statistics about lens repairs etc., that helps if one needs rugged quality gear like me.
Besides wildlife, I still like and sometimes follow the videos of Chris Niccols and Jordan Drake, now with Petapixel. As hosts with DPR and Amazon in the background they didn't seem to enjoy their presentations like before with The Camera Store TV, in particular I missed their funny Xmas shows (the looked stiff and cold). With Petapixel they revived that annual fun. I also had a lot of fun with Kai Wong and his nerdy companion Lok Cheung, but that's over since now about ten years. Afterwards, when they split and Kai W. went to UK, I lost more and more interest... I think it was their special show relationship as antagonists that made these presentations so entertaining.
