Bobby Fingers. Drunk Mel Gibson has quickly become a classic amongst my friends.

Probably one of the most creative and talented makers I have ever had the pleasure of coming across. Every single thing he's done has been fucking hilarious to boot.
Wendigoon, he doesn't post as frequently as a lot of others but his videos are like an hour long and he researches the fuck out of a subject. He did one about the unabomber recently that he had to break into a two partner because one part was just an hour long interview with the lead FBI investigator on the case.
Welp, there goes several dozen hours or more of my free time.
I feel like Markiplier keeps improving, over time his videos have cut out a lot if padding and fluff that was the standard in old school let's plays, but it's not a smash cut fest like some newer youtubers are.
He also is diversifying his mediums, like the movie that he's currently making (not a "youtuber movie", an actual movie adapted off the game Iron Lung).
The only real controversy of his that I can think of was when he stood up for PewDiePie when he said the n-word. Mainly because they were friends. With how many years he's been going I'm surprised there's not more.
Harry Mack. Greatest off-top freestyler ever (except maybe Juice WRLD, but that's apples and oranges). Folks are sad about the end of Omegle Bars, but I've always thought Wordplay Wednesdays is his best format.
XboxAhoy (The channel name is just Ahoy)
Would like to throw in Atomic Frontier, he makes on-location video essays about random science and engineering topics that are edited with great supporting infographics
Too many to name. I'm easily on YouTube 2+ hours each day and there's not exactly lack of quality content
A few comes to mind.
Ordinary Things is great and Michael Fisher is good and usually doesn't hype stuff up.
A few I haven't seen show up yet:
He posts infrequently but Sean Hodgins videos keep getting better. Don't let the thumbnails fool you, he puts a ton of work into them. It's hard to describe, it's mostly him showing off his projects but they have an analogue/80s cyberpunk feel in the way he tells his story, the music that's played, and how he edits the videos together.
Posy, I am surprised at que quality of his videos, they are incredibly artistic

Late to this but I'll drop a niche list. They've all done fighting game content.

Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't
A low brow approach to botany and ecology through the ramblings of a crass Chicago Italian. Nowhere else will you find a full frontal milkweed pollination or see a San Francisco portapotty botanized.
