The Engineer Guy just stopped uploading.
Same with Afrotechmods. TOP NOTCH electronics tutorial videos, he just stopped posting.
Pushing Up Roses, as she explained it herself, has pretty much said what she wanted to say about retro video games and largely does TV now with the occasional modern adventure game review thrown in. I wish her well but I'm no longer her audience.
DistroTube. Did Linux related content who might have an 88 tattooed on his neck by now.
Scott Manley. Similar to PUR, the content he makes kind of drifted out from under my interests; I became a fan of his Kerbal Space Program playthroughs and demonstrations of space flight concepts, but as far as I know now he basically does space news stuff now, which is perfectly cool but my attention wandered elsewhere.
Bright Sun Films. Once again there wasn't a "nope not watching this anymore" moment, I think I just had my fill of Abandoned.
(dis)Honorable Mention: The Escapist. I no longer watch that channel but I am still a fan, viewer and patron of the talent themselves. Their new channel Second Wind is the most hilarious instance of owning the means of production I've ever seen.
Distrotube, Luke Smith, and Mental Outlaw all give me bad vibes. Shame they're (minus distrotube) at the forefront of OpenBSD youtube content.
Yeah, I've dropped DT and Mental Outlaw. As for Luke Smith, I'm going through some of his older, purely technical videos about vim, grep, sed, awk, etc. and that's it. I'm dropping him too after that
Luke smith is a freak. Just gross.
Distrotube hits hard. I remember the video showing everyone his collection of increasingly larger guns was the checkout moment for me. Even saying one of them was great for kids. As a non American maybe I just don't get it.
The engineer guy recently uploaded a video on duct tape. I liked it a lot
He has published his audio book about the airship R101 under a creative commons license, if you haven't seen that yet I'd check it out.
Oh shit distro tube. Yeah that's true.
