Tired of seeing the same old youtubers/twitch streamers get recommended/talked about all the time. Do you have some really good small time folks that are amazing?
I’ve been watching this guy’s backlog on building a kernel and bootloader from scratch. A bit monotone but amazing technical knowledge. https://youtube.com/@nanobyte-dev
Monocat. puts out very chill videos about EUC. Even if that is not your thing, it’s worth your time getting some perspective on something that might make you look at things differently: https://youtu.be/1dBvELqWqOg
She helps her boyfriend with his channel so that’s why her uploads are infrequent.
I actually recently sold my car and “upgraded” (to me) to an electric scooter! So hearing about electronic unicycles is right up my alley.
Sweet, I ride an electric scooter too!
Chrontendo has been playing every NES/Famicom came in release order for over a decade. Slow upload schedule but quality content.
Pixelmusement main series is “Ancient DOS Games” and I was watching this series before he was on YouTube from his own site. Basically every episode (has over 300 now) is dedicated to a single game where he reviews is and tells you how to getting it run on DOSBox.
Shoujoago’s Twitch streamer. She’s an artist, female drag performer, and lover of cats. She plays obscure independent games she finds, draws stuff, sometimes has game nights, and hosts with her cat Marzipan. Huge Phoenix Wright fan. Usually has streams 2-3 times a week. Very calm and relaxed.
Let’s play with Brigands is a small creator mostly doing lets plays of old sierra adventure games and the like. Love the cosy small atmosphere.
not under 10k but he has 20k subscribers. Prussian Blue on youtube has excellent chemistry videos.
Rick Darge is fantastic if you’re into high-quality, short form sketch comedy. Krazam has grown recently but is still relatively small and makes more tech-related sketches.
88bit does video game music, Aric Zair is a musician friend of mine who has been struggling, Aural Alliance is a Furry music label, Curtis Kam is a magician, Erin Snape is a young musician, Gavin Nascimento and Project Knowledge are conspiracy theorists, Hazy Rhythm Wonder Band exists, Holy Order of the Claw worships lobsters, mannfishh demonstrates microtonality, Nada makes art videos, Snazzy Starlight does synesthetic paintings, The Tuscany Documents does analog horror videos, and Tube Cody plays Rollercoaster Tycoon and Sims.

I found the channel from an animated dunkey video and it’s been cool watching him develop his style in little clips since then.

Used to be Carnasa cause I subbed when he had 300 subs but now he’s got way more than 10k
Art of Drink for anyone who’s into craft cocktails, soft drinks, general food science. 10.8k subs but close enough. He’s a treasure trove of knowledge, technique and reference materials for applying food science to drinks
Sips! He has allot of YouTube subscribers but no so many twitch…
Watch sips_ with me on Twitch! https://www.twitch.tv/sips_?sr=a
Joel Bocko, aka Lost in the Movies 8.84k subs on YouTube - particularly for those who like Twin Peaks but also for anyone who loves quality cinema, both popular and arthouse.
His work on Twin Peaks is magnificent, and deserves so much more attention than it gets. And he comes across as a really nice genuine, unassuming guy.
His website is https://www.lostinthemovies.com, with podcasts, interviews written pieces and more. Well worth a look.
