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.
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).

Somehow still only makes one video a year.
He has another channel that is updated fairly regularly, think it's called "Storymode"
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).
