Post the names of youtubers and other internet microcelebs you love with a burning passion based on more than vibes. Very preferably not large.

A good example is Cathode Ray Dude, who makes long videos on older technology. He doesn’t seem to have done anything reactionary, he’s got a personality far beyond “the algorithm”, and he doesn’t associate with any terrible people. And I enjoy his videos.

    I would imagine many people here who watch Youtube are already familiar with Folding Ideas, at least from his video about NFTs. He is imo the best video essayist by a wide mile.

    Then there’s Jenny Nicholson, her videos are hit or miss in the sense that I really don’t care about most topics she talks about, but I find even those videos engaging and when she does talk about an interesting topic it’s an all-timer for me.

      I watched all four hours of her video about the Star Wars hotel. Damn, that was almost a year ago and apparently she hasn’t posted a video since.

        She posts more videos on her patreon, IIRC like 2-3x what’s on her channel now. She doesn’t advertise it much, probably because of how rarely she makes videos lol.
