Mine are Michael Sugrue (philosophy) and hasoyi (asian music mixtapes).
Heather Feather and Jellybean Green are two ASMRtists I miss. Heather stopped years ago after her father passed away, and JB left more recently as it was too taxing on her.
Epic Rap Battles of History isn’t exactly dead but they don’t post content nearly as much has they used to. And there are some bona-fide classics on there worth watching again and again.
Loved Chuck Norris vs abe Lincoln. “I gotta bucket full of my head and I’m about to make it raaaiiin”
They started a career doing advertising work for niche businesses. The Chuck Testa ad was their doing.
Wikipedia disagrees with you about chuck testa. That advertising was done by comedians Rhett & Link.
Wait you’re RIGHT! Good fact check, I didn’t realize Rett&Link was a different group. I said some straight up disinfo there
Eppppcrppbttttlsffffhstooooorrrry
Begin!
There’s a new one coming this weekend!
MrBTongue
His video on Shandification was quite interesting though I think YouTube removed it from his actual channel.
He hasn’t posted in like 8 years though.
GoldPlatedGoof, the guy came made a couple of top notch maths explanation videos and then completely disappeared and has not upload anything in 8 years. Hope he’s OK.
Seth Everman still makes me laugh
Every Frame a Painting… Come back to us
That channel isn’t dead? He hasn’t uploaded a video this year, but he uploaded a number of videos in the 2 years before, after the 7 year gap.
Freelance Astronauts. Just a bunch of friends having fun, from the era of SomethingAwful let’s play forums. I can highly recommend their Zelda and Mario Multiplayer videos
Brain4Breakfast - Late countryball youtuber. Loved his dry humour, sketches and takes. Notes on Nationalism helped me a lot when the internet just became common and information overload became a thing.
BirgirPall - a pair of Icelandic guys who would play games together, and their “We Broke…” series was an utter delight. I’m an old bastard who dislikes pretty much the entire genre of “watch someone else play a video game and yammer over it” entertainment, but BirgirPall were a major exception due to their talent for finding weirdass bugs and glitches, cracking up infectiously at the results, and editing them down into excellent little short videos. The guys behind the channel seem to have left it behind these days, and their individual channels just aren’t the same.
I’m also a longtime fan of YouTube Poop, and stay subscribed to a lot of the early poopers from the old days. Every now and then one of them will come back and post something cool.
Brodie Robertson - talks about Linux + FOSS Tsoding Daily - greatest programmer IMO
Brodie Robertson is very definitely still alive and kicking.
ah I didn’t see they were talking about dead yt channels. my bad
Coding-with-Yalco, bro showed up, dropped some best-in-class software concepts tutorials, then disappeared. I think he’s still active on another channel in Korean language tho.
Patchlunch. He made a live loop in ableton with beat segments from flying lotus (I think) that was just flawlessly executed. I rewatch it every so often and hope he continued to hone his craft.
Robert Murray-Smith, inventor, maker, gentleman, Englishman

Found out he died, committed suicide. Sad.
Looking at his channel, he really has some high quality content. Its sad that it had to end in that way.
Afrotechmods. Straightforward electronics tutorials that demonstrate both the right and wrong ways to build circuits. Abundant information, occasional explosions.
That is a great channel name.
Not sure why he chose that particular name, he’s whiter than Arbor Day.
Does Veritasium count? It’s not exactly dead, but its a zombie.
