Yeah, I know the Trash Taste guys. Not normally my thing, but my fiancé likes them, so and I have enjoyed them when I have watched with her. I also very much enjoy Sseth as well.

As for my normal viewing channels beyond that, they are:

Graystillplays: An "older" Youtuber (in his early 40's) who does a lot of GTA challenges and plays a lot of trash mobile games while doing dumb shit in them.

Max0r: Does funny reviews of games involving significant amounts of jump cuts and a lot of millennial/zoomer type humor, but I do thoroughly enjoy his content. Especially since he does stuff like Ace Combat, which is usually outside mainstream gaming Youtubers. He is also the source of the "My source is I made it the fuck up" meme.

The Russian Badger: Does a lot of shooter games with his gang of friends, and is characterized by doing dumb shit with the purpose of having fun instead of being sweatlords trying to be ultra-tactical in everything. So they usually spend a lot of time throwing out jokes and memes while they are playing.

Rimmy Downunder: A mid-size Let's Play channel that does a lot of mil-sim and RTS. We generally have very similar taste in games, so I keep him on the list.

Adeptus Ridiculous: A 40K lore channel run by a youtuber named Bricky (who has done 40K stuff for a while), talking about 40K with his buddy who is new to the setting. Generally very good as a guide for getting people into 40K lore since he is having to explain it all to a total newb. Also is generally good on 40K matters, like standing up for the Imperium's place in the lore and saying that there shouldnt be female Space Marines.

Drachinfel: A naval history channel dealing with Age of Sail up through the end of WW2. He mostly deals with telling about what happened in different battles, and every week gives a 5-minute history of various warships. Also does a lot of in-depth analysis of things like the making of armor and guns for the ships as well as deeper breakdowns of things like the sinking of HMS Hood, as well as occasionally wargaming out alternate history scenarios (like the "Death Ride" of the German fleet in 1918, that was ordered but mutinied against IRL).

Shadiversity: Medieval weapons and armor history channel. Has also started getting into the Dissident Nerds sphere with the likes of Nerdrotic (also watch him) by writing his own books and doing reviews of movies and tv shows.

The Black Pants Legion: Mostly run by a guy named Tex, this channel does in depth looks at Mechwarrior lore and mechs, as well as Tex playing games he likes (usually RTS) and a lot of Space Station 13.

Also various Vtubers, but not as hardcore as any of the above.

Did he do an Ace Combat video? I'd given more attention to Project Wingman videos.

Brandon Herrera (The AK-Guy). Best gun and meme vids. Sometimes watch Taofladermaus or Garand Thumb if an interesting Related vid pops up in the sidebar.

The Why Files. Great storyteller about Conspiracy Theories, and then breaks them down or props them up with logical and skeptical analysis after the fact.

Zeducation. For the memes.

AwakenWithJP. Anti-Clown world humour.

Your list is the first one where I actually watch some of the creators semi- regularly, let alone have heard of them.

Internet Historian is such an interesting dude.

Publishes one video a year. Rents an office outside his home because WFH drives him batty. Wakes up in the middle of the night to go to the office to "get some work done before anyone gets there". Employs some sort of on-site staff to help him make videos.

Somehow still only makes one video a year.

– Benevolentdictator 1 point 3 years ago +1 / -0

I know he has some secondary channels (one doing video game story reenactments - but mostly voiced by employees who aren't IH, & another one where they do humorous more artsy parody melodramas).

I like most of his content, but everything else comes a distant second to his main channel videos (other than his In the Field collab vids where he does shower thoughts and memes with another YT creator).

Perun - Aussie armchair analysis on the Ukraine war. Is doing pretty decent hour long power point presentations about logistics and the like.

WickedWiz - Has a few good vids on how MMOs failed.

Doomkemon - SK animator that put doomguy in pokemon.

eli_handle_b․wav - His edits are god tier.

3klicksphilip - Don't even play CS:GO but he has entertaining vids on the most minute of topics.

Historyfeels - Some really good mashups with wojacks that arn't cringe.

Leonardo of biz - /biz/ content creator

Oboeshoesgames - twitch streamer that condenses his hours of stream into a 10 minute youtube vid, recently been going through 7th gen shooters.

Accursedfarms - Ross

Raycevik - Another game reviewer

Fleekazoid - Former game guide channel rebranded as game reviewer. He has a really good sense of humor, compares big brested anime women to today's diversity women as "Budget cuts."

Spirit of the Law - AoE 2 Youtuber. Good content

Ymfah - Dark Souls glitcher.

. - Philosphy of Kreia video. Nuff said.

Empty Industry - A minor russian youtuber who makes vids on niche games, darkest dungeon, lobotomy corp.

Polymatter - Some really interesting vid topics. Don't sign up to nebula.

e;r - Actually started putting out vids again.

Big Boss - Said fug it, I'll do it myself to Internet Historian's slow upload schedule.

Scorched Earth - C&C Memes

Warlockracy - Russian youtuber covering older titles. Sounds like Werner Herzog. Is a lefty but mostly keeps his politics out of his videos.

Yrridian - Creative Assembly titles.

Karl Jobst - Youtuber covering speedrunning.

Wirtual - Trackmania speedrunner

It depends on what I'm after since I can go to YouTube for info or be entertained, to stay entertained:

Solus Astorias: who knew that providing dubbing over Internet comics could be so entertaining as he mostly uses two artists, Baalbuddy did my favourite apocalypse scenario while Centurii does good historical parodies in an all female cast

Bread boys: simple skits usually ending with a shotgun and screaming

Rimmy downunder: Helps fill my RTS desire though Ironically I found him the shit show that was the Fallout Frontier mod debacle

Shadiversity: Love medieval history and how he explains weapons both historic and fantasy

Solid JJ: simple parody skits using shows from my childhood

Also like Trash Taste for the banter and guest to have in the background, and sometimes go into a lot of Japan based stuff through them.

On a more informative side:

Viva Fri: having their livestream recording on in the background to get a law perspective of current events

The Archcast: nice hearing from someone as cynical as me on media

Razorfist: his recent Lincoln video was fantastic

I do watch Shortfatotaku and Shoeonhead so not to get too tunnel visioned and only see from one perspective, I'd recommend them if you have the same attitude as they won't make you want to bash your head into a table listening to them.

Then cause I can I'd recommend Kane Pixels as a '17 year old schools all of Hollywood on how to do a series correctly'

Short commie still makes me want to bash my head in, but Ive been quite far gone past fenceshitter takers for a while, so more power to those of you that can still listen to somebody like Peterson without wanting to throttle them for their lack of a spine.

Pipkin Pippa is a good choice if you want vtuber animu parasocial content, but without the leftwing moralfagging. It's a joke to feel sorry for her poor PR manager, but she's the embodiment of "based" as a meme. She'll do segments with Infowars as the backdrop, and just drop wisdom on the masses sometimes.

GiantGrantGamesArchives is a daily upload channel of Giant Grant Games, an SC2 youtuber. He makes fairly active effort to not include any politics in his videos, though he is a lefty. Generally jovial, and very open about how YouTube's policies fuck over content creators (one of his main channel videos goes into that in-depth, even though he usually sticks to SC2 or RTS games generally).

And I'll second/third/fourth Shadiversity. The patron saint of giant swords and boob armor aesthetic. Good history knowledge, but also good sense of humor, and humble religious fellow.

Viva Frei makes longform lawyer podcasts on both current legal events, and just general chats with various people. Used to be Canadian, I believe he moved to Florida to be with his true people.

What I've Learned: Well produced and entertaining heterodox health videos.
Dr Sten Ekberg: Drier but more detailed heterodox health videos. He goes into some stuff that I'd consider wacky like acupuncture but he's right about a lot of stuff so maybe there's something to the wackier stuff.
Donut Media: Fun car videos. It's the fluffier side of car stuff for sure though.
Ordinary Sausage: Let's saaasauge.
Wintergatan: A Swede slowly descends into madness trying to make a practical version of his viral meme instrument.

Love me some Gigguk. Dude has remained remarkably consistent over the years. Never really got why people liked Joey. Trash Taste was interesting to me for like an episode or two, but in the end I really can't be bothered to listen to people I only somewhat like talk about something I like; I'd rather just spend time enjoying the thing itself. Even worse if they don't even talk about anime as much anymore.

My two underrated guys are:

Marcel Vos. An accented European, Dutch I think, who does nothing but Roller Coaster Tycoon 1/2 videos. Mostly autistic breakdowns of every single game mechanic to a level you probably didn't even realize was worth thinking about. Great relaxation content.

Tehsnakerer. Guy covers games no one else will ever even know exists, like an RTS entirely about Soccer Hooligans or the obscure Japan only prequel to EVO. And when he does cover things you know (like Yakuza), its with a level of depth and analysis of all systems instead of just memes and whatever fits his building conclusion. Including praising games he absolutely hates when they do things well.

Some good recommendations here, adding some of my own in no particular order.

Post 10 - Wholesome channel about a guy cleaning up his community and living with nature.

The 8-bit Guy - Covers interesting and obscure tech from the 8 bit computing era.

VASAviation - Covers and animates real ATC communications and emergencies in the air.

Hardware Unboxed - GamersNexus but from down under, does good tech reporting and huge benchmark charts. Great monitor reviews on second channel.

Level1Techs - Great tech content, covers more in-depth topics regarding the server hardware/software space.

Dave's Garage - Autistic ex-Microsoft employee. Interesting stories from the heyday of MS. Good tech content including program language drag-racing.

Townsends - Covers 17-19th century cooking, construction and lifestyle. Inspired me to build my own earthen oven.

Invicta - Primarily Roman history documentaries but has occasional focus on other history subjects. Has done some responses to woke "history" articles.

Cowboy Kent Rollins - Authentic cowboy camp cook. Good recipes and just wholesome content.

MeatEater - Good hunting and fishing videos. Even demonstrates how to field dress game. No idea how this is allowed on modern YT.

Coffeezilla - Great reporting work, one of the few trustworthy sources in the Crypto/NFT space.

HowToBBQRight - Good ol' boy who will teach you some fantastic BBQ recipes.

Base Camp Chris - Typical bigfoot /scary stories channel, except he goes out into the middle of the woods at dusk to tell them. Nice atmosphere.

Bob Gymlan - Interesting bigfoot content covering less known stories. Excellent hour long doc on the Man-Eating Lions of Tsavo.

Paul Harrell - Firearms channel with many ammo type and caliber comparisons. No idea how this is allowed on modern YT.

Steve1989MREInfo - OG MRE channel. Posts infrequently but well worth a watch when he does.

Lots of good suggestions here. I like Active Self Protection. Great channel that breaks down various police badge cam/surveillance videos and analyzes what went right or wrong. I watch a guy named Mavrick who camps in his truck. BaldAndBankrupt: British guy who really likes backpacking around former Soviet states. Joel Hansen: 170 pound guy who never loses restaurant's eating challenges.

Shadiversity (and the second channel, Knights Watch)

Metatron - for the history buffs and Japanophiles that aren't degenerate vermin

Flair - if you like hunting, fishing, and other country boy shit.

Abroad in Japan - if you're into Japanese shit that isn't degenerate.

Noriyaro - if you're into car culture, Japanese car culture to be specific. Mostly centered on drifting. Think Tokyo Drift minus degeneracy. And 0% Bow Wow.

Don't forget about Cleetus McFarland as well. He does a lot of awesome race car stuff, as well as general car shinnegans, burnouts, RC planes, jet boats, wagyu beef review, lawn care and just general Floria man stuff...

EDIT:

Also

Steve Morris Engines for cool engine builds and race car stuff.

Tom Baily - another race car channel, pretty sure he has the fastest street car which does sub 6 second quater mile runs. He also hosts Sick Week and Sick the mag which is all about drag and drive events & cars

Clay Milligan - for behind the scenes NHRA Top Fuel drag racing stuff which is awesome

Riding With Alex Taylor - another drag & drive car builder / driver.

It's interesting that Let's Game It Out started out as a buddy channel doing Let's Play with a friend called Anthony (before he got big).

Then they did a video together that mentioned at the end that Anthony was leaving (but never explained why, but it didn't seem acrimonious), then his partner was never mentioned again.
