Kurzgezagt - In a Nutshell

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.

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.

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.

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.

• Kathy Loves Physics & History. I like that she stays in her lane and hasn't deviated from electricity and history.
• freecodecamp, each video is a course that's several hours long.

A few comes to mind.

Ordinary Things is great and Michael Fisher is good and usually doesn't hype stuff up.

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

The Why Files

XboxAhoy (The channel name is just Ahoy)

A few I haven't seen show up yet:

• Brick Immortar, bunch of good videos on maritime incidents
• Maritime Horrors, same category as above, great quality stuff
• Pulsar, Lemmino-style documentaries

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.
