I'm sorry if this is not the best place for this, I couldn't think of anywhere better to ask about it

the reason most of these people are youtubers is because I went through my youtube subscriptions for ideas

edit: I've just realized I forgot to add rule to the title but I don't know how to fit it in there with it looking not bad

Steve from Gamers Nexus. Dude is like TotalBiscuit but for tech, not just gaming. Also, TotalBiscuit, if you are ok with adding those that have passed to the list...

I had high hopes that Genna Bain would continue tb's legacy. I can't imagine losing someone so publicly.

I couldn't imagine doing that. Just stepping into the role of your recently deceased partner. That'd be tough. At this point, I am sad that no one has really stepped into that role, even just a spiritual successor.

I like $uicideboy$ and Juice WRLD because they make super cool music and they helped me a lot with their art.

I think Uncle Ben from Urban Rescue Ranch is worthy of the list. He's an animal rehabber from Waco, TX who spent years turning a crack house, needle-filled property into a beautiful animal rehabilitation center. He frequently updates his YouTube channel with his day-to-day life, and the animals he has are fun (capybaras, kangaroos, rheas, etc.). He genuinely loves animals and loves his work and I've learned a lot from his channel.

Károly Zsolnai-Fehér from Two Minute Papers is fantastic

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I love his excitement, positivity and passion for the subject. His content is great but I can't get myself to listen to him anymore due to his speech style. I can mostly ignore the thick accent but the ad style intonation with the constant interruptions was just too much for me to handle after a while. But again, aside from that, his content is always top notch and he's wholesome.

Thank you for the rabbit hole!

Brennan Lee Mulligan and, by extension, Sam Reich.

edit: to be fair, a lot of the Dropout cast seem like pretty great human beings as well (Emily Axford comes to mind, plus she frequently played opposite Adam Conover in the series Adam Ruins Everything which is both entertaining and horrible)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

+1 to anyone on the Dropout team.

Semi related, but Rehka's new PowerPoint show is amazing.
