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.

a people's history of rome, that sort of stuff. i get the feeling they're marxists keeping it on the down-low, but who knows. - https://www.youtube.com/@tribunateSPQR

Either they're Marxists or PhD level trained historians. The field pretty much agrees that the base premises of historical materialism are the right tools for analysis.

A similar internet person who does much more overt commie ancient history analysis is Patrick Wyman, and his Tides of History podcast.
