Seeing the other post here about YouTuber that went downhill and seeing content creators I am familiar with makes me sad. But how about those that still makes great, high quality content?

Here's some of my own, in no particular order:

Gotham Chess - also known for his catchphrase: "Sacrifices... THE ROOK!!!". Yeah, that guy.

Kyle Hill is a science communicator and makes awesome educational content; he also debunks conspiracy theories.

Jeff Geerling is a RasPi aficionado who's made tons of projects.

Louis Rossmann specializes in consumer tech (mostly computers); he's a great critic of corporations and DRM.

Jenna Moreci is a published fantasy writer and has great videos on what to do and not to do when writing fiction.

One Topic at a Time - shares LGBTQ memes found on reddit. His voice may sound annoying. (What can I say? It's an acquired taste)

Bits inside by René Rebe specializes in Linux and Open Source stuff.

Noralities is a girl who makes video essays about anime, and they're not trivial opinions They involve writing, stereotypes, romance, society, and stuff. She's done her homework.

EDIT: Added details.

To boil down Kyle Hill as simply debunking conspiracy theories is so sad... He's a science communicator and makes awesome educational content. Occasionally, he debunks a conspiracy or two.

His video about the SL-1 meltdown was the first I saw of him. Incredible video and definitely not worthy of being called just a conspiracy debunker.

Fixed, thanks for the heads up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks!

Highly recommend anyone interested in approachable nuclear science adjacent entertainment or science entertainment in general to check him out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Funnily enough I just got done with his video about the "nukes aren't real" conspiracy theory. Of course that's just one in his long Half Life Histories series which is mainly about the science and not conspiracies at all.

Lol, I used to hang out with Jenna way back in HS. I knew she was writing books, didn't know she had a YouTube channel and/or was successful at it. That's cool to hear.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I second Second Wind. The quality they've been putting out so far is surreal

Love Geerling and Rossmann, but I simply don’t understand the appeal of Levy; he is so over the top. Not that I would downvote this though, he is just not my style, and there are many good chess channels since the boom. Chessbrah, Anna Cramping, Hikaru, Banzea, and Hanging Pawns all come to mind.

Anna’s content, especially with parents GM Cramling and GM Bellón López is so fun and wholesome.

It's a matter of taste. I like his humor, but I do understand he's not for everybody. Yeah, Anna Cramling is one of my favs, too.
