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.

Simon Roper is awesome

[–] Beaver@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

Afternoon hang with Simon and a cupa tea in the English countryside sounds so cozy

Kaze can make a 30 minute video about optimizing trig functions for the N64 hardware and I'll watch the whole thing

Second Dr. Fatima. Great production values, and you can tell she pours herself into the work.

[–] Beaver@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

I'm hoping she takes off

I’m sorry to keep NL-posting but there’s a reason he’s like the only youtuber/streamer with emotes on here. He’s simply the GOAT of being a nice well-rounded person who is also actually funny.

FailRace and LeatherCap for fun, chaotic racing videos. Such a marvel of a community in a sea of racing dude bros.

[–] Gosplan14_the_Third@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Huh Failrace, I used to watch that like 8 years ago.

[–] AntifaSuperWombat@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

I started watching them 6 years ago, when youtube randomly recommended Survive the Hunt #8 to me. Instantly fell in love.

My oshi, Haruka Karibu has finally returned to streaming after a long mental health hiatus.

She's also gotten two new chibi avatars!

Ææugh!

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

Oh good for her!

[–] charly4994@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

I like Nimi Nightmare, she’s nice and chill, im-vegan , and just some comfy vibes.

Nyanners - she’s a gremlin, not awful, just a cringe streamer.

Trey The Explainer - good quality highly informational videos about anthropology, archaeology, and paleontology.

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I really enjoy Exurb1a

CW SA

that person is a r*pist (and will likely never face any justice unfortunately ): )

Moose2 (Brutalmoose)!

Extremely comfy streams of random stuff, mostly vintage games for Windows 98 and XP, on original hardware (no emulation). His Nancy Drew videos are just the best.

[–] buh@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

f4micom makes cool videos about niche topics in consumer tech and gaming. lately she's also been getting into maker/DIY things

I like introvertedmadness for making rant videos about his life that are often relatable to me. he also makes videos with social commentary sometimes; these are more entertaining and suitable for general audiences, and though he can come off as a clueless lib, he has the right spirit

[–] sawne128@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

Random ones I like:
HubNut - Reviews and vlogs about old cars.
JaredAF - Videos about pistols and shooting sport without tacticool nonsense.
Tony Zaret - Weird comedy skits parodying internet culture.
