Good morning!
I've been a bit of a Youtube junkie since it first started, and over the decade that followed I was increasingly watching a lot less terrestrial television in favor of independent Youtube content. This will be a general thread for linking your favorite creators on the platform, and other online video sites of course.
Rachel Maksy (https://www.youtube.com/@rachelmaksy) is definitely up there, she does a lot of crafts, clothing and cosplay, often with a whimsical or fantastical vibe. She used to do a lot more vintage fashion videos, but all her stuff is good.
Caroline Winkler (https://www.youtube.com/@Caroline_Winkler) is another fave. Her channel is focuses on interior decorating, self improvement and general adulting I guess I'd call it. Very funny off the cuff commentary as well.
Probably my favorite recent discovery is Honeyjubu (https://www.youtube.com/@Honeyjubu), who is a Korean housewife who makes vlogs showing her daily routine, cooking, housework and such. Very well-shot, very inspirational for my own routine, and a style of content I'd definitely like to try my hand at making sometime.
What Youtubers do you follow?
One of the more amusing Youtubers I've come across is Canadian Steve Wallis who goes and "stealth camps" around his neighbourhood in some of the wackiest places you'll come across. I definitely went down the rabbit hole with this one after searching for videos to help convert vans/cars into weekend campers and randomly came across his brand of entertaining lunacy. Its funny how he seems to always be on high alert pretending hes in some sort of imminent danger and then .......... absolutely nothing happens. :laughing:
Stealth Camping in a Roundabout
Bald and Bankrupt used to be good but I can't watch him any more since he was exposed as a piece of shit and all round sex pest.
Speaking of entertaining lunatics, one of my all time favorites is BowserVids (https://www.youtube.com/@BowserVids). I'm not going to describe his videos as I don't want to explain the joke, so just check out these two if you're unfamiliar.
This is his most classic vid.
And this is my personal favorite.
Most of my favorite current Youtubers all came from the AllDef family, so it's a bunch of black comedians and they have transitioned to podcasts but I still watch them on youtube because they are visual ones.
Patrick Cloud
Tahir Moore
KevOnStage
Just to name a few but Squadcast was getting plays from me all throughout the pandemic.
I've been on a Youtube kick lately so I'll share a few more of my favorite Youtubers.
Sage Lilleyman (https://www.youtube.com/@SageLilleyman) is a vintage fashion youtuber, focusing in particular on midcentury 1930s-1950s era style and recreating elements of the lifestyles of those eras. She has a calm, soft spoken voice that is always pleasant to listen to.
Niamh the Prog Nerd (https://www.youtube.com/@the_prog_nerd/videos) is a young woman who shares her love of progressive rock (more recently other genres like metal). Lots of vinyl collecting stuff, and I like the videos where she talks prog with her dad a lot, reminds me of my musical relationship with my own dad.
Lady Emily (https://www.youtube.com/@LadyEmilyPresents) is a video essayist who makes videos on a pretty random assortment of subjects, from the Angry Video Game Nerd to the Gorillaz to Kitchen Nightmares. She doesn't upload super frequently but when she does it is always a treat even if I'm not particularly versed in the subject. You may also know her as the co-writer for fellow video essayist Sarah Z (https://www.youtube.com/@SarahZ).
Angry Joe Show is my go to for movie reviews of blockbuster type movies and also video game news and the reviews of certain games that they tend to do every now and then.
I love this guys channel. I always find out about new music, and I get a little bit of a bass lesson. I Booboo/Queen Boobs still on this site?

Wow, now that's a name I haven't heard in a while. I remember him from the old Nostalgia Critic crew. I still follow Todd in the Shadows, who was also a part of that community back in the day. One of those reviewers I regularly disagree with but still watch every video.

I don't follow many people on YouTube, but I do like @JakeNodar's Cock Whisperer series:
Alexander McKechnie (born: 1989), better known online as exurb1a, is an English educational entertainment YouTuber, author and podcast host from England, currently living in Bulgaria. Exurb1a is an existentialist with a penchant for fiction with a metaphysical backbone.
Quotes:
"The universe is as mad as a bucket of coked-up ferrets."
"Ultimately it doesn't matter which telescope you look up, the most complex thing we've ever seen the universe make is looking up that telescope."
https://www.youtube.com/@Exurb1a/videos
His sci-fi short, "27" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLRLYPiaAoA) is a favorite of mine.
His latest short, titled "How Will We Know When AI is Conscious?" examines the nature of consciousness, the alignment problem, and other key dilemmas surrounding AGI.
Oh, right, the synth Youtubers. Here's a big ol' dump of my favorites with brief descriptions. Check 'em out if anyone interests you!

Discovered this Youtuber last week and I've been binging her channel, very well-done tutorial videos on formal etiquette. As someone who greatly values my presentation in IRL social situations it's been very enlightening.

It does have that parody energy, but not only is it not a joke, this guy has some crazy messed up lore. It's been a while, but the gist of it is that his girlfriend was not actually dead, it was all a ploy to get views. And I'm pretty sure he's had a lot of other controversies.

I was trying to find a video I watched once that went into all the weird stuff about him, but I couldn't find it. I don't know anything about his actual content, I only know the weird shit he did lol.
I watch some science YouTubers and Veritasium is probably the most popular one. It's very good, like this mini doc about the holy grail that was blue LED lights.
@Mindy, if you were to release spyware disguised as an operating system, what would you call it?

Lol idk, probably something like "AdvancementOS" or "EnhancementOS", get people thinking it improves the experience.

Huh.
I'd call it "Windows". :laughing:
This cutie is my new fave. She does cooking videos called OnlyPans filled with sexual innuendos. The recipes are dope too.
A+ looks and personality. I'm crushing big time.

Hey that's a great post Tristan!
One of my old time favourites was Zaragon Trimaximalist, who posted thousands of reviews from many different genres. I guess the main ones that interested me were jazz funk, prog and canterbury, but there are a ton of punk and rock reviews on there too.
He never got many views but I liked his style. He tried to understand what was going on in a song and dissect it musically.
"Ooh that's a lovely B flat progression with a beautiful counterpoint from the bass" :love: I continue to dig in his archives.

I noticed I haven't mentioned Joe Cappa who's made some great content. I've seen this Gabbagooblins intro so many times now 😄 my kids hate it. I love it.
He's got other fun things like his Haha, You Clowns series.
Episode 1 out of a current 7 here:
Joe seems to be on a hiatus as it's been nearly a year since he posted anything. I hope he makes more.

Oh man, Gabbagooblins is so messed up and I love it. I couldn't imagine how I would have reacted if I'd seen it as a kid. But it really captures that uncanniness of that kind of Teletubbies-esque kids media and takes it to uncomfortable extremes. Great vid.

Haha.. My greatest wish for YouTube is that Joe Cappa creates more Gabbagooblins content 😄
I just hope his absence isn't due to anything bad having happened to him.
Another couple of YouTubers I like are:
Felix Colgrave (he also has his own thread here)
And of course Cyriak!
Lately, I've also been watching interviews on the Soft White Underbelly (https://youtube.com/@softwhiteunderbelly?si=Rk1xslIHriDDGrtr) YouTube channel. Mark Laita is a photographer taking pictures of and interviewing various individuals from different layers of US society.
A lot of his subjects, but not all, are outsiders or people living on the fringes.
Like this one:
And if you watch it, check out the top comment!
