I’m sorry if this is not the best place for this, I couldn’t think of anywhere better to ask about it

the reason most of these people are youtubers is because I went through my youtube subscriptions for ideas

edit: I’ve just realized I forgot to add rule to the title but I don’t know how to fit it in there with it looking not bad

    Steve from Gamers Nexus. Dude is like TotalBiscuit but for tech, not just gaming. Also, TotalBiscuit, if you are ok with adding those that have passed to the list…

      I had high hopes that Genna Bain would continue tb’s legacy. I can’t imagine losing someone so publicly.

        I couldn’t imagine doing that. Just stepping into the role of your recently deceased partner. That’d be tough. At this point, I am sad that no one has really stepped into that role, even just a spiritual successor.

      Seems unnecessary to list women just because they are women.

      Just YouTubers? I don’t really know them as people but I think the content they create is admirable at least:

      Electroboom

      Mark Rober <- Never mind, apparently he’s down with Autism Speaks (a shitty group that wants to “cure” neurodivergence) That’s a shame.

      Kurzgesagt

      SmarterEveryDay

      Oversimplified

      Vsauce

      Veritasium

      Captain Disillusion

      ZeFrank

      ForgottenWeapons

      I guess I’m kind of a sucker for educational stuff.

        Personally, Veritasium is out of that list for me due to some of his more recent videos. He still has some good content but I really disliked that “rods from God” video where it feels like he’s basically doing the same thing as the “How Ridiculous” guys and trying to disguise it as science communication. And the (admittedly few) ones where he’s basically disguising advertising as his regular content.

        I nominate BobbyBroccoli to take his spot.
