Mine are Michael Sugrue (philosophy) and hasoyi (asian music mixtapes).
Kent carlevi - easily the best guitar videos on yt. The fact that he made them almost 20 years ago is mind boggling.
Mitten Squad. Guy popularized challenge runs with his fallout and elder scrolls playthroughs, and his deadpan delivery gets me every time. Unfortunately passed away after a long battle with alcoholism. I miss that dude. I don’t think he realized how much light he brought the world.
Early in YouTubeland (circa 2008-2010) there was a user called AntiConsumer. Content was all taken down and the profile disappeared.
I’d love to know where to find some of that material now. There were clips from documentaries, ads, lectures and more. Might have seen my first bits of Michael Parenti there. Im pretty sure that my firat exposure to Wesley Clark’s “7 countries in 5 years” talk was from there.
totalbisquit, though more out of respect than rewatching
formerly digibro, but all the videos are gone now.
Epic Rap Battles of History isn’t exactly dead but they don’t post content nearly as much has they used to. And there are some bona-fide classics on there worth watching again and again.
Loved Chuck Norris vs abe Lincoln. “I gotta bucket full of my head and I’m about to make it raaaiiin”
Eppppcrppbttttlsffffhstooooorrrry
Begin!
There’s a new one coming this weekend!
They started a career doing advertising work for niche businesses. The Chuck Testa ad was their doing.I was mistaken

I aint ‘avin it.
Hello Internet
Technically a podcast, but I listened to the YouTube version for whatever reason and occasionally go back for my favorite episodes.
Hbomberguy
PBS Idea Channel. Such a good channel.
TheGIF video is my all time favorite!
I like Mike’s other stuff, but this will always hold a special place in my heart. Their videos taught me that not only could you learn stuff from YouTube, it could be really fun!
I got to meet the host once. He was a really great guy in person.
There are many channels I stay subscribed even if there is a gap in content from a month to years.
Looking at my PipePipe subs - Bob Music, Digital Engine, EugeneTeo, Fuzo Tech, Humble Road, Husk IRL, Laura Malvoyante, Ozzy Man Reviews, Potholer54, Side of Burritos, The Imaginary Axis, The Invisible Internet I2P, Veronica Explains are all low on new content.
Doesn’t cost me anything to stay subbed.
I don’t think I’ve ever unsubscribed from someone or a channel just because they stopped posting. Like you said, it costs nothing, and if they’re not posting it’s not like their lack of posts is cluttering anything. Then if they ever do come back, I’ll be one of the first to know.
Exactly.
Ozzy man reviews is not dead
I didn’t say Ozzy Man Reviews was a dead channel. Ozzy’s last video was 6 days ago. Previous to that July 9, June 24 and June 15. I would call those gaps in uploads.
I miss old Rooster Teeth. I rarely go back to it, but I go on a little watch spree every few years.
I’d also include Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games. Incredible channel that was run by the man himself. I’ve learned so much about the developer side of things from his channel. Sadly he ended it a few years ago because he felt like he was able to talk about pretty much everything he wanted to touch on. And he had to get working on Kirby Air Riders.
A couple other small ones would be:
Scykoh- Made a series called Glitchfest where he would break down and show off significant bugs/glitches in games. Similar to A+Start.
Jasper- A guy who broke down how Nintendo created certain elements of their games. Very informative as well, but he only made a handful of videos and then just randomly stopped a few years ago.
Sp0ntanius- Musician who made creatively edited Zelda music covers. He actually still uploads the occasional video. But he often doesn’t upload for several years at a time.
Ya I archived the RoosterTeeth/AH stuff I loved, in case the company does some destructive restructuring now they’ve disbanded fully. Plus YouTube can’t be trusted with anything now.
I still see Jack Patillo crop up on Twitch streams and podcasts and whatnot
Munecat. Not sure if dead, but it’s sure been long since she posted anything.
She’s switched to doing almost everything entirely on patreon.
Yogs cast.
Is lindsay ellis still putting new content on yt?
Not on YouTube that I’ve noticed, but she still posts on Nebula.
Well, then she’s my vote. Lots of great videos, esp The Whole Plate.
yes, and on nebula as well I think
