Which YouTuber still creates high-quality videos to this day?
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?
Cathode Ray Dude - goes over tech from the 80’s, 90’s and early 00’s
CloudCuckooCountry - Infrequent book reviewer
Distant Signal - Like trains? You’ll like Danny Harmon
Great Art Explained - Does exactly what it says on the tin
Jacob Geller - I’m not sure how to describe him to be honest
Jay Foreman - MAP MEN MAP MEN MAP MAP MAP MEN MEN MEN
Josh Strife Hayes - Reviews of terrible MMOs
Mr Samuel Streamer - High quality Rimworld videos (has also played Terraria, Stardew Valley, Fallout NV and other games), has a bit of a motor mouth however
PatricianTV - Extremely long video game reviews; his Skyrim review is 20 hours spread across two videos
Technology Connections - Through the power of buying two of them!
The Unlucky Tug - Mainly talks about Thomas the Tank Engine
The Dungeon Dudes are always solid if you want DnD content. Even their episodes where you wouldn’t expect great talking points they somehow pull it off.
Lemmino. Quality only got better over the years. Started as a top 10 memes channel. Then became top 10 cool subjects presented like documentaries. Now it’s actual documentaries.
Gameranx. Watched them when they were still just two or three dudes just talking about games. All those years, they made it pretty big on YouTube, and they still didn’t lose that vibe.
Forrest Valkai. He’s a biologist who makes a mixture of educational content, videos debunking creationist claims (in an educational way rather than the “look at this fucking idiot” approach that much of atheist youtube seems to take), and just some silly fun in-between.
He doesn’t have the insanely high production value of other channels named here, but he’s the most wholesome person I’ve ever seen. His love for life and science radiates off of him and watching him passionately explain how cool something is genuinely makes me happy in such a depressing and pessimistic world.
A lot of the old “Golden Age” League of Legends content creators have moved on to making really good content about other topics and games. Basically Dunkey and everyone who was at one point accused of being a Dunkey clone lol
Dunkey obviously still makes content and it’s still good. I’ve never personally been a huge fan of the short length goofy one off gag style of his but I know people still really like his content.
Skooch does miscellaneous other games now (mostly Mario and sonic lately) but the content is the best it’s ever been
Bricky does Warhammer mostly but also makes long form analyses of big AAA titles that are sequels to franchises from the 360 days
Keyori (now Barny/Maddy) rebranded, transitioned, and now makes literally the best World of Warcraft content I’ve ever seen
FrostPrime streams I know but I think his YouTube is literally exclusively just stream VODs now.
Outside of that group I still get a kick out of Game Grumps 10 years later but I know the old school let’s play thing isn’t really for everyone. Also Alpharad still makes good content, though lately it’s been a lot of mid, sponsored or otherwise kinda forced out stuff.
I’d argue that none can claim to be high quality if they use tons of ads. I just can’t stand this sort of thing, and YouTube’s own paid system doesn’t block them all.
This said, my (free) adblockers currently work, and they block the sponsored stuff as well. When they work, I still really enjoy Kurzgesagt videos. They are excellent.
