Hey all! Scott here

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.

acollierastro — Angela Collier

Astrophysics, science communication and random rants

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.

Posy, I am surprised at que quality of his videos, they are incredibly artistic

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

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

• 3balsue1brown
• 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.

The Why Files

XboxAhoy (The channel name is just Ahoy)

A few comes to mind.

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

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

• Core-A Gaming
• GuileWinQuote
• TheoryFighter
• Leon Massey

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.

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.

Too many to name. I'm easily on YouTube 2+ hours each day and there's not exactly lack of quality content
