      100% That video where he voice changes as an old lady and convinces a scammer that she wont use any piece of technology because she was afraid of the robot uprising was gold. His ability to improv like 3-4 people on the phone switching voice changers seamlessly is amazing

        Yes!!! I genuinely think he’s the best improv artist I’ve ever seen, and he can multitask so well. I’ve also learned a ton about scams from him and use the information to reach out to companies and try to enact change.

        Something else I appreciate is that he treats anyone and everyone with respect (no matter how vile they are towards him); not something you see on the internet often.

      Please keep this up, because I need to be able to come back to this and check out the stuff I don’t already follow and look at. Since you had quite a few I already enjoy I’m mostly assuming you’ve got good taste…

      So glad youtube has these kinds of channels and its not all just clickbait cringey trash. I wish there were a browser plugin or something to filter out reaction videos and anything where there’s a gen-Z-er just straight overreacting and yelling at their phone

    I’ve been obsessed with Jacob Geller’s video essays for months now. There’s just something about the way he writes that lands with such a punch for me, I can’t get enough of it. Notable mentions are his video on orbital lasers— one of the best openings to a video essay I’ve ever listened to— and the comparison video between RE4R, HBO’s TLOU and Dead Space Remake. If you’re into video essays and/or gaming in any capacity, check him out. You won’t regret it.

    I really like Corridor Crew / Corridor Digital: I have been following them for over a decade and they have so many good videos where they dissect Visual Effects and stunts or experiment with new tools (lately they have been toying with Stable Diffusion and they did with Deep Fakes earlier).

    On a similar subject, Captain Disillusion is underrated, he’s debunking viral videos using his knowledge of VFX.

    Ahoy makes mini-documentaries on video game history (mainly retro PC gaming) with really nice graphics and music made by himself.

    And lastly, not so much a creator, but a documentary series that sucked me in: PsychOdyssey follows the developers from Double Fine during the production of Psychonauts 2. It’s a very rare and honest look into the creation process of video games and it particularly hit with me because Psychonauts 2 is my favorite game of 2021.

    Acollierastro Physicist and academic breaks down varying topics in casual and fun long-form format. string theory lied to us and now science communication is hard

    Value Select Multi-talented (really) independent content creator, who flavours his borderline surrealist humour with 80’s stylings and DnD/medieval vocabulary and theatrics. Pushes for good vibes while keenly aware of the grind “Embrace the mirth”.

    He’s always experimenting and pushing his production to unbelievably comedic quality, so I discovered him when he was doing musical skits such as Tell me your name again (again) Hit Me With Your Car 2020

    Right now he’s been on fire with his youtube shorts. Not everyone’s thing and if you wanna take a glance, personal favourites include:

    I’m surprised he hasn’t been mentioned so far, but DougDoug is my favorite YouTuber/streamer. He has some of the most creative and entertaining videos of any currently active content creator imho.

    • Thorhighheels: Video game analysis, mainly older or more obscure games. Tends to focus more on vibes than gameplay. Makes really good music too. • Jacob Geller: Another mainly game analysis channel but he covers other forms of media as well. Check him out on Nebula if you like his content for extra and longer videos.

    Melodysheep, Tom Scott, and The Slow Mo Guys are always interesting. Dunkey and Funhaus for when I want to laugh.
