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

    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.

    Chrontendo has been playing every NES/Famicom came in release order for over a decade. Slow upload schedule but quality content.

    Pixelmusement main series is “Ancient DOS Games” and I was watching this series before he was on YouTube from his own site. Basically every episode (has over 300 now) is dedicated to a single game where he reviews is and tells you how to getting it run on DOSBox.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
