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.

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

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

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