I still get excited when I see a notification for Applied Science after several years. Breaking Taps doesn’t miss, either. They both do really interesting stuff.
My favorite YouTuber for sure - no thumbnails, no clickbait, no asking for subscriptions or money (he used to accept donations way back but stopped since he felt like he could make do without them), minimal intro and outro, he reads comments (he reads at least one comment from the previous episode on every episode of his main let’s play) and he’s been making the same kind of content for over a decade (main let’s play has over 500 episodes, each usually around 30 minutes long, sometimes much longer).
I haven’t played Minecraft in years at this point but I still watch every video he puts out.

He actually has channel memberships now but with absolutely no perks lol. There’s no expectation to become a member which is nice. I’ve been subbed to the $2/mo tier for about a year or two now. Been watching etho for like 10 so it’s nice to support a little more directly than blocking ads lol.
If you want off-the-shelf, check out Will Prowse’s channel on yt, he explains in great detail the good and bad points of a lot of commercial batteries, inverters, panels, and updates his recommendations as new ones come out. It really depends on what your power needs are, but in general, today’s 48V server rack LiFePO4 batteries are pretty safe and easy to set up, don’t take up much room, can discharge even down to 0% for thousands of cycles, and can charge quickly.
The site I mostly end up back at for detailed technical information, bugs, updates, and DIY support is his forum, diysolarforum.com . There are a number of technical support employees from different solar vendors who have accounts there and occasionally respond to questions about their companies’ products, and there are forum rules to prevent them from marketing there. I’ve seen a few companies raked over the coals in those forums for poor phone or email support/response times, and some have even improved their support in response.
Less “downhill” and more “dropped into a sinkhole straight to the pits of hell,” but Creepshow Art. I thought she was really fun to listen to, and it was interesting hearing tea spilling from a community I’m not privy to. At some point she opened up about a stalker who’d been following her for years, harassing her constantly, trying to get her fired from her job by sending compromising photos from her past to her boss, threatening her life… And then it turns out she was the stalker, and the victim was Emily Artful! She was the psychopath threatening someone’s life and trying to get them fired and shit! And I was planning on donating to her patreon!
He got louder, flashier, less techy and more talky and is doing a gazillion reruns of the same general idea over and over. Can’t really enjoy it anymore.
Came here to say this too (actually did but didn’t scroll enough to see yours first). I totally agree. I feel like he’s not creating content for the same reasons he used to.
I like what he do, no problem on that, but his voice is neither loud nor quiet. It has the tone of a loud speak but the audio come out soft, it hurt my ear when my brain trying to adjust to whatever that volume is.
Also yes another glitter bomb and animal puzzle maze.
Assuming English isn’t your mother tongue, I meant no offense. But “beltalowda” is a demonym referring to the group of humans occupying and mining the asteroid belt and other outer planetary areas in the science fiction story The Expanse. Your grammar is surprisingly close to their speech patterns.
Simply have the pages blank as possible, and use a pseudonym. Shit posting Is it going to do anything to make data less desirable. Just follow all of the typical advice for staying anonymous on the internet.
Also, insist on only using the secret message feature of Facebook Messenger. Those messages are and to end encrypted and at least if you believe facebook, not even Facebook can access them.
Dave2D - Not a huge creator, but he lived in a van and made videos mocking other van-lifers who did the glamping thing and only showed the positive side of van life, not the negative side where you poo in a bucket and live in fear of a crackhead breaking into your car while youre asleep in it.
One of the glam-van-life couples broke up and he made a video publically mocking them. Then the girl killed herself. There was a huge shitstorm in the vanlife community and he ended up deleting almost all his content. Now he mostly does fantasy artwork livestreams.
Supposedly it tries to give you issues with sources from different perspectives to show how all the different news agencies portrays each event (and the spins they could be applying).
Fabulous Crusty. I don’t hate his work or his decisions, as he wanted to do what he liked, and he found a new audience with it. Absolutely good for him.
I miss his old content he probably decided was cringe, or perhaps YouTube deemed controversial like his playthrough of Rinse and Repeat. Rinse and Repeat isn’t controversial as far as I know(?) and had censor blurs. As someone in the LGBTA, I didn’t find his reactions to be inappropriate, and I liked his exploration of the jank of that game. Although I’m not sure why he played it, other than “this game is weird, it’ll get clicks.”
He’s deleted or delisted a lot of my favorite videos from back in the day (or I can’t find his old channel, not sure). I hope he’s doing well, I just miss the really random weird stuff he was playing. I did enjoy the Shadow of War stuff though.
Jimmy Dore. Started watching in 2015. He was consistently about progressivism and brought awareness to causes such as Medicare for All. As the channel grew, he slowly became more deranged. COVID came and he found a larger audience spouting anti-vax dog whistles. The channel is now tabloid anti-vax, pro-putin, hot garbage.
