I think the anti-woke content creator bubble is going to burst at some point. Not because people disagree with anti-wokeness, but because people are getting tired of hearing the same shit over and over again with no results to show for it.
None of these creators are offering solutions. Most of us are well aware of both the problems and the perpetrators. We don't need to listen to yet another "based" rant from an army of enlightened centrists who are still so brainwashed by leftist idiocy that they refuse to even name the devil, let alone fight him.
How is engaging with these creators improving my life? They're certainly benefitting from my views. What are they giving back to the cause other than lethal complacency?
Solutions would solve the problem which would put them out of work and they don't want that, they want you mad at someone so you watch their stuff and they get paid.
To me they are no better than the big news networks they so often bitch & moan about and neither of them are honest about it so fuck em.
I think timeframe and mindshare play a part in this determination. Five years ago, daily videos sounding the alarm on woke idiocy were valuable, useful, meaningful. Five years on? When everyone knows the score? Such videos are almost pointless. They're like pulling the fire alarm for the hundredth time after the building burnt down. Yeah, fire is bad, we know. What the fuck are we going to do about it?
Everyone knows the score, but not everyone knows everyone knows the score.
Over half the population says it's likely or very likely the election outcome was due to cheating, but democrats believe it's only a few extremists who question the election. About half the population is anti-abortion, but the far left believes 80% of the population is pro-choice. Every issue there's a huge disconnect between what people believe other people's opinions are and actual reality.
This is why 4chan is so great because it shows you what people are actually thinking, but it doesn't show you how many people.
What's needed is an "is this retarded" poll app. It needs to be real people with real demographics info, but anonymous. I don't know how to accomplish this, maybe with crypto or something, but if somebody could figure out how it would solve a lot of this woke bandwagon insanity.
Depends on what the solution is. I follow a number of nonpolitical homesteading channels that go into a fair amount of detail about off-grid power generation/storage, water catchment, permaculture and irrigation-free gardening/farming, and so on.
For those of us who think "going Galt" is the only solution we have for the forseable future, that sort of information is invaluable; and those channels are never in trouble with the censors.
HighTechLab has a rather elaborate solar setup for his off-grid ranch. Also does a few videos on his water and septic system
Better Together Life has some good starter videos for homesteading. I think they live in a pre-fab wooden shed they insulated and finished
Townsends is more of a re-enactment channel of Colonial American techniques but could be interesting if your goal is to go full-on Uncle Ted.
A lot of channels are kinda hit or miss. They'll have a few good videos and a lot of filler. I suspect they're more dependent on youtube ad revenue and sponsorships money than they want to let on. Might be better off just searching for videos on the specific topic you're interested in.
For example: If I were a popular influencer and I had definitive proof that BLM was going to crash an upcoming based rally in a certain way, I may tell my many listeners to converge on that rally with personal defense implements. And the small minority of committed listeners would dutifully comply.
Then when the rally happens, a big fight breaks out. Shots are fired. Some people are wounded, maybe even killed. Next thing I know, I'm under arrest for inciting violence. And that's just the beginning of my life and the lives of my friends and families getting ruined.

Do you have any recommendations for good channels?

There's also the CYA angle to consider.
