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.

Tom 7. Posts very infrequently but generally makes videos that complement his SIGBOVIK submissions which are the intersection of theory and impracticality. Example.

Tom 7 is peak comedy for computer scientists (not to be confused with tech bros) with a penchant for deadpan delivery.

I wouldn't be surprised if he posts a new video within the next few months since SIGBOVIK passed last month and he has a paper in the proceedings.
