Mine are Michael Sugrue (philosophy) and hasoyi (asian music mixtapes).
formerly digibro, but all the videos are gone now.
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.
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!
Loved Chuck Norris vs abe Lincoln. “I gotta bucket full of my head and I’m about to make it raaaiiin”
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.
Yogs cast.
RubberNinja. I miss Ross’ offbeat sense of humor and his collabs with EgoRaptor.
Been 6 years since the last upload, so it seems well and truly dead.
Another one is HelloImAPizza, who became known for his compilation of PSAs across the world, and for his high-quality presentation of the matter. Been a year since he uploaded and tends to go several years without new content, so mayne he’ll come back some day. Dunno.
BlackMetalVegan: vegan cooking with a twist you might not guess…OK it’s in the name you guessed it
I’m surprised no one mentioned Comicstorian. He would do long form reads of comic books and he would like to act out quotes. Right when he was becoming huge on youtube he randomly crashed into a tree and died. 🤷♂️ life is Strange.
VinoFarm - It was a nice positive beekeeping channel
Far North Bushcraft And Survival - Watching the guy survive in absolutely freezing conditions.
I recently found out Katherineofsky has died but her factorio malls and videos influenced the community so much…
Oh no! I didn’t know. I still call them undergroundies
I heard quill18 make some off the hand comment about her passing and she hasn’t uploaded anything in months so I think it’s true but can’t find anything confirming it, checked her twitter(silent), her youtube(silent), her twitch(silent)… But no direct message about her passing
Kruggsmash. He’s mostly (maybe entirely?) A Dwarf Fortress creator. I first found him just looking for basic tutorials of how to play the game, but soon started watching his series where he uses the game as a platform for storytelling. He takes the procedurally generated stuff and fleshes it out. He voiced characters and made incredibly charming drawings for important scenes.
Camelworks. Rest in peace- the channel is dead because he passed away earlier this year. Mostly did content dicing into Elder Scrolls games, occasionally Fallout and other games.
Is It a Good Idea to Microwave This? - classic old school YouTube, from the days when it waa just high school and college students fucking around. Just 3 dudes with a camera, an extra microwave, and someone’s parents cool enough to let them do dumb stuff. They eventually stopped as life caused the 3 of them to grow apart.
Daniel Naroditsky, he was able to explain chess in a way that was very easy to understand and made playing much less intimidating
Kent carlevi - easily the best guitar videos on yt. The fact that he made them almost 20 years ago is mind boggling.
Early in YouTubeland (circa 2008-2010) there was a user called AntiConsumer. Content was all taken down and the profile disappeared.
I’d love to know where to find some of that material now. There were clips from documentaries, ads, lectures and more. Might have seen my first bits of Michael Parenti there. Im pretty sure that my firat exposure to Wesley Clark’s “7 countries in 5 years” talk was from there.
randytaylor69 for a long time - and then suddenly she started streaming regularly and it is a hilarious drunken shit show every time
Apetor.
Oh man. I have to revisit his channel.
