Mine are Michael Sugrue (philosophy) and hasoyi (asian music mixtapes).
Jenna Marbles. I miss her so much and I think her leaving really changed the wholesome face of YouTube. I miss her content.
I also couldn’t ever get myself to remove unus anus from my subscribed list even if I can’t view it. It got me through the early months of the pandemic. Those two goofy youtubers helped me keep my sanity.
BirgirPall - a pair of Icelandic guys who would play games together, and their “We Broke…” series was an utter delight. I’m an old bastard who dislikes pretty much the entire genre of “watch someone else play a video game and yammer over it” entertainment, but BirgirPall were a major exception due to their talent for finding weirdass bugs and glitches, cracking up infectiously at the results, and editing them down into excellent little short videos. The guys behind the channel seem to have left it behind these days, and their individual channels just aren’t the same.
I’m also a longtime fan of YouTube Poop, and stay subscribed to a lot of the early poopers from the old days. Every now and then one of them will come back and post something cool.
Coding-with-Yalco, bro showed up, dropped some best-in-class software concepts tutorials, then disappeared. I think he’s still active on another channel in Korean language tho.
Seth Everman still makes me laugh
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.
Eppppcrppbttttlsffffhstooooorrrry
Begin!
Loved Chuck Norris vs abe Lincoln. “I gotta bucket full of my head and I’m about to make it raaaiiin”
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
Does Veritasium count? It’s not exactly dead, but its a zombie.
I miss Brian David Gilbert hosting polygon, his absurd videos like cooking every recipe in Zelda were great. AnyAustin has kind of stepped in to fill the void (and then some!), but BDG was doing great stuff. He’s still around with his own channel which can be very funny but it’s not quite the game related stuff I miss.
Hbomberguy
New video is about to drop real soon. 4.5 hour version is already on patron. Final version will probably be even a bit longer
I really miss Jack Stauber.
PhotonicInduction
I aint ‘avin it.
I miss photonic
totalbisquit, though more out of respect than rewatching
I recently re-watched a few episodes of Lord of the Arena and Shoutcraft. Good stuff :'^(
Hello Internet
Technically a podcast, but I listened to the YouTube version for whatever reason and occasionally go back for my favorite episodes.
I listened for a while but really fell off the more I realized that CGP grey is kind of an idiot.
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.
I fully agree, I was devastated when I learned what happened, he used to be my go-to for when I needed a good laugh after a hard day. I’ll still go back and watch his videos, I just wish he could have gotten the help he needed
Kruggsmash. He’s mostly (maybe entirely?) A Dwarf Fortress creator. I first found him just looking for basic tutorials of how to play the game, but soon started watching his series where he uses the game as a platform for storytelling. He takes the procedurally generated stuff and fleshes it out. He voiced characters and made incredibly charming drawings for important scenes.
Camelworks. Rest in peace- the channel is dead because he passed away earlier this year. Mostly did content dicing into Elder Scrolls games, occasionally Fallout and other games.
Is It a Good Idea to Microwave This? - classic old school YouTube, from the days when it waa just high school and college students fucking around. Just 3 dudes with a camera, an extra microwave, and someone’s parents cool enough to let them do dumb stuff. They eventually stopped as life caused the 3 of them to grow apart.
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.
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 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.
even if there is a gap in content from a month
A month, wow… Even three months I consider a very healthy schedule.
