Tired of seeing the same old youtubers/twitch streamers get recommended/talked about all the time. Do you have some really good small time folks that are amazing?

I’m really into retro video games. The channel I enjoy that the most that has the least number of subscribers is Jeremy Parish. He makes excellent little 10 minute retro game reviews. They are well thought out, include some interesting history, and no hyperbole.

Ummm… I also have a channel. 👀 In some videos I do longer reviews of Game Boy games.

And I post weekly videos where I play random retro games with my silly friend Samantha.

…I wouldn’t say it’s “amazing” but I do really enjoy watching the videos I make. 😅
I don’t follow many people on YouTube so the only person that meets this criteria is Gracie Fitzpeter, who really deserves more views. I absolutely love channels that do overlong in-depth videos on super niche topics that I have zero stake in. She has so many hours of videos on the Warrior Cats series and Resident Evil, and I’ve watched probably all of them. I’ve never read the Warrior Cats books or played Resident Evil. Perfect.
The first one I saw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFFjATF3I30
I love watching stuff like that! I’ll have to watch some of their stuff!
I’ve been watching this guy’s backlog on building a kernel and bootloader from scratch. A bit monotone but amazing technical knowledge. https://youtube.com/@nanobyte-dev
NicoD’s SBCs. Does single board computer reviews, traveling videos and music. Around 4,4k subs https://www.youtube.com/@NicoDsSBCs
Nice tip.
If you like laid back walking videos then ABitOfAWander
No wonder Americans say you need a car to go around. Looking at the videos you can get a sense of vastness and how lonely/deserted the place is.
Shoujoago’s Twitch streamer. She’s an artist, female drag performer, and lover of cats. She plays obscure independent games she finds, draws stuff, sometimes has game nights, and hosts with her cat Marzipan. Huge Phoenix Wright fan. Usually has streams 2-3 times a week. Very calm and relaxed.

88bit does video game music, Aric Zair is a musician friend of mine who has been struggling, Aural Alliance is a Furry music label, Curtis Kam is a magician, Erin Snape is a young musician, Gavin Nascimento and Project Knowledge are conspiracy theorists, Hazy Rhythm Wonder Band exists, Holy Order of the Claw worships lobsters, mannfishh demonstrates microtonality, Nada makes art videos, Snazzy Starlight does synesthetic paintings, The Tuscany Documents does analog horror videos, and Tube Cody plays Rollercoaster Tycoon and Sims.
Rick Darge is fantastic if you’re into high-quality, short form sketch comedy. Krazam has grown recently but is still relatively small and makes more tech-related sketches.
not under 10k but he has 20k subscribers. Prussian Blue on youtube has excellent chemistry videos.
Monocat. puts out very chill videos about EUC. Even if that is not your thing, it’s worth your time getting some perspective on something that might make you look at things differently: https://youtu.be/1dBvELqWqOg
She helps her boyfriend with his channel so that’s why her uploads are infrequent.
I actually recently sold my car and “upgraded” (to me) to an electric scooter! So hearing about electronic unicycles is right up my alley.
Sweet, I ride an electric scooter too!
youtube.com/@genericallyentertaining has a lot of great fantasy book reviews and pretty funny skits
I’ve been enjoying https://www.twitch.tv/moridrex he streams a variety of games, but I honestly love his banter most of the time. Very chill dude.
Joel Bocko, aka Lost in the Movies 8.84k subs on YouTube - particularly for those who like Twin Peaks but also for anyone who loves quality cinema, both popular and arthouse.
His work on Twin Peaks is magnificent, and deserves so much more attention than it gets. And he comes across as a really nice genuine, unassuming guy.
His website is https://www.lostinthemovies.com, with podcasts, interviews written pieces and more. Well worth a look.
My children.
I’ve recently started watching Alice in Wonder1and . She’s a trans girl from New Zealand, doing some form of memey content in some way related to trans or femboys. I personally find her content really entertaining.
I also like ParrotDash’s content. He’s the person who completes about every Celeste map ever deathless. Their content is more stream highlights, but is still entertaining.
