Not many I follow too closely to be honest these days. I just did a big purge of a bunch of my subscriptions so there's only a handful now.
Gaming/Entertainment:
-
Nextlander: General gaming; comprised of three ex-members of Giant Bomb (Vinny, Alex, and Brad).
-
Mr. Samuel Streamer: Primarily focused on Rimworld and Crusader Kings, just an extremely witty guy that puts a lot of work into what he does. Often spends 8-9 hours in gameplay and editing to make a 30 minute episode, every day.
-
Nilaus: Factory/automation games, like Factorio and Dyson Sphere Program.
-
The Jimmy Dore Show: Semi-leftist, has liberal tendancies but is more political comedy than serious commentary, so I categorize him more as entertainment than political. I often don't agree with all of his takes, but the show can be good sometimes.
-
CryptTV: Mini-horror episodes, often with a few recurring monsters. Really well done effects work.
Politics:
-
Li Jingjing: China-based journalist, covers China and the global south as a whole. Does both serious stories and cultural/interest pieces. Great for somebody just interested in seeing more China without the anti-China rhetoric.
-
George Galloway: Left-leaning talk show host, some reactionary tendancies but he does have a pretty good range of guests from time to time, including the above. He's been around for ages, very well established.
-
The Deprogram: Leftist talk show and podcast.
That's kind of my entire subscription list at the moment, it has been cut down a lot recenty.
Mic The Snare is a great channel talking about music. He uploads "Deep Discog Dives" where he goes into the discography of artists and does commentary talking about hot topics in music. His most DDD is Prince which is nearly 2 hours long (don't worry, most of his DDDs are less than 40 minutes long) and it was amazing.

LunaOi - Vietnamese communist YouTuber.
If you like cats and building things for cats this guy is amazing: https://www.youtube.com/@hahahaYouTube
It's a korean guy on a fish farm that started vlogging 7 years ago, and he had a lot of stray cats that he helped out, made food for, made sleeping spots etc. I think he became pretty popular in korean (1mil + subs), and he is now building more and more cool stuff for his cats.
I'm into mystery and true crime stuff.
Lazy Masquerade - mix of mystery and true crime
Nick Crowley - Internet deep dives with horror theme
Nexpo - same as above
Wendigoon - conspiracies, mysteries, ARGs, GIANTS
Lore Lodge - probably the most objective mystery YouTuber
Lights Out Podcast - podcast for supernatural and true crime
Mr. Ballen - good primer for this kind of content, more of a storyteller than objective
Let's Read - narration of scary stories
Street Lamp Horror - same as above
Ripshy - same as above and smaller YouTuber
Roanokegaming does great breakdowns on pop culture monsters. Hes a pathologist so he's got a pretty good understanding of monsterverse diseases
Oh yeah I like him and NerdExplains. Roanoke had a very compelling argument that the alien from Nope was actually terrestrial.
Caleb Hammer
He's like a millennial Dave Ramsey. Personal finance doesn't get enough attention and he makes good bingeable content that makes me want to save more.
Vice Grip Garage Rescues old forgotten cars and manages to drive them home. He has his own style and I think you either like it or not. You can't deny his skill and ability to resurrect classic cars.
I really like Stevie videos. He plays this game called Rust that's a pvp based game. He's makes hours long videos that have a solid plot with a beginning, middle, and end. I've never played a minute of rust but I love his narrative style. Its art truly.
Here's a few channels I like that post interesting content if you're into retro stuff.
- Tech Tangents
- Michael MJD
- Anders Nielsen
- PCRetroTech
- ctrl-alt-rees
- Noel's Retro Lab
- GadgetUK164
- Adrian's Digital Basement
There's many more but these are the channels I highly recommend checking out.
