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.

Every single Clickspring video is a piece of art about making a piece of art which is also a fully functional piece of a clock. I know absolutely nothing about him other than that he is very very good at precision machining and that's the way I like it.

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

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

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

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Not really YouTubers much anymore. But I still follow DingDongVG and Julian who separated from OneyPlays half a decade back.

They started their own indie game company WanWan games and are working on a Domino Tetris thing (can't remember the name). Looks pretty good too. They mostly stream gameplay of old games now from time to time and the atmosphere is much more chill and less forcefully edgy which I like.

Also DingDong mostly just shitposts now on his channel lol.
