Once again I can start with my favorite YouTuber of all time "SomecallmeJohnny" who also runs a let's play channel called "SuperGamingBros" (yes very original), which these days consists of him, his half brother, his best friend, and his uncle. Their whole stick is that they are super unprofessional and are just having fun with whatever they play. I have had some seriously good laughs in the 15 years I've been following them. Mostly from all the random crap Matt (the best friend) spews sometimes, when they played Sonic 3: "I wasn't aware that inanimate objects could form allegances, then again BioShock has taught me about boiling water having sentient thoughts." ...yes that's the kind of dry humor we are dealing with, and I love it :P

Because John is so humble he didn't wanna create a Patreon to ask anything in return for his years of content until a couple years ago, and feeling I owed him for all those years I immediately jumped on the chance.

Then there's Arlo who I'm sure most know about. The blue muppet talking about Nintendo and having an unhealthy fixation on Pikmin. There's MattMcmuscles who runs a couple shows like "Worst Fighting Games" and "Wha' Happun'?!" the latter of which where he talks about a game or movie based on a game that's had a rough development. Speaking of rough developments there is GVMERS who does something similar, only they tackle entire franchises per video. There is also That VideoGames Show where the guy digs up more or less obscure game recommendations for various consoles.

And finally there is SuperSisi, who I don't even remember how I stumbled upon, but she regularly uploads some really interesting obscure Japanese gaming trivia on her site. Like, not just trivia in and off itself, but also sometimes accompanied but photos of old magazines or ads etc. Other times it's just whatever she finds cool e.g fanart and stuff. I recommend checking her out.

Anyone else pledged their undying loyalty to a Patreon creator?

...oh right, there's also Ahoy who does some super high quality game documentaries. Like his "arms in games" series where he most recently talked about the real life origins of the chainsaw and how it became a trend in both movies and games as anything BUT a wood cutting tool, plus asking the question of whether or not it realistically is an ideal weapon. Or his 1 hour long documentary on "the first video games" where he takes a deep dive on what even defines a video game in the first place. You can put that video on in the background while doing chores and just let his accent melt you away.

While I am subscribed to him on YouTube I am not supporting him on Patreon as he uploads very rarely. It's quality for sure and very much worth supporting, but still. He is like JonTron: only appears a couple times a year.. but then you KNOW it's gonna be good.

...oh right, there is MightyKeef as well who does some hilarious sketches.

....................okay NOW I'm done.....................
 
too many to list. i did this in another post. i've been thinking of making a post or thread listing out all of the entertainment youtubers that i watch along with a quick description of what they make. i watch quite a few different creators on youtube. they vary from let's plays to competitive to reviews and podcasts.
but for now, DarkLordJadow is my favorite so far.
 
Back then I used to watch Omargosh and Moe Sargi. They covered haunted locations across the country and it was entertaining to watch for a while. Eventually many viewers noticed how increasingly fake the content was getting and started tuning out. I’m not a loyalist to any YouTuber but if it’s short and entertaining I’ll give it a watch.
 
Thorgi's Arcade, ManlyBadassHero, KBash, Hazel, Amelie Doree, SHMUP Junkie, Hakita (is that cheating, I don't think that's cheating, is it?), MagicMush, Thafnine, and cream of the crop

"You're in Micon City on the 8th floor of Daedalus Tower and you better get familiar with this room because you're gonna be back here an awful lot"
 
Please don't call them content creators. Content is a word that's used by corporations to dehumanize art. Content is what AI and boardrooms spurt out, not quality Youtube channels that we'll all be listing here.

As for my favourite Youtube channel. It's easily Console Wars.
Their little skits accompanying their comparison reviews, is very reminiscent of how almost all Youtube channels were back during Youtube's glory days. They don't make as many videos as they used to (from once a month, to once every three months), but they're still a fun channel.

Heeeeeyooo!!! Fellow Console Wars fan!!! In one of their fan unboxing videos from a couple years back I donated a SNES and MD copy of Tintin in Tibet. I still wait for the episode where they talk about it.

As for your first point, I never thought about it that way. But if we are gonna be cynical about it, while I agree there are many talented people on the platform who could make it big as voice actors or animators or whatever, I honestly don't view YouTube itself as a real job.

YouTube is this place for homemade videos that, at some point or another people learned they could earn a living on, and so now everyone and their grandmothers flock to the site to try and make an easy living on everything from cheap ass reaction videos to top 10 videos, scandal commentaries etc. And so now they all live in front of their computers, talking into a camera all day, and constantly beg the viewers for likes, subscriptions, and Patronage. And I'm here like, listen buddy, if your continued livelyhood depends on MY private finances, a bloody stranger on the internet, which at that point is essentially the equivalent of a street performer hinging on by-passers' generousity, then it's not a real bloody job. So instead of begging for subs in every video, crying that "iT wIlL rEaLlY hElP mY cHanNeL iF yOu Do ThIs fOr mE" how about instead you pick up your lazy ass, stop wasting everyone's time with those clickbait videos, and get a real 9-5 job like everyone else who ain't a basement dweller??

......sorry that got ranty for bit there. I've had it bottled up for a long time......
 
I was a fan of early OddHeader because he covered video game easter eggs and oddities that were actually obscure. Can't speak for his newer stuff because I bounced when he started uploading video-length ads
 
SkillUp : Love how he reviews games and explains the nuances. One of the few reviewers I've seen who doesn't restricts games to 0-10 scores and understands that games are much bigger than that. I even watch his reviews of games of which I have no desire to play just to see what he thinks about it.

Digital Foundry My go-to place for anything gaming tech related. They made watching FPS counter fun ?

Game Maker's Toolkit One of the best places to learn game design. I've learned so much from his videos and my appreciation of games grown even bigger because of him.

MKIceAndFire The best walkthrougher I've seen and the best part is the non-commentary. He plays every kind of games except JRPGs and plays them really well. My go-to place to watch gameplays.

Game Gengo ゲーム言語 Probably the best Japanese learning channel on Youtube. Learning Japanese is tough but he makes it so much easier with his brilliant method of explanations. I've always wanted to learn Japanese but since it's difficult never managed to but thanks to this channel I might finally be able to achieve my dream.
 
Nerrel - My favorite! Down to earth interesting when analyzing things, monotone yet pleasing voice just how I like it, and a very peculiar sense of humor, specially in his thumbnails. Every video of his feels like a real treat.

Ratatoskr - Nice soft voice and formulates his words very well (save for some awkward arbitrary pauses but who am I to judge xD). He's especially good in voicing his hot takes in a well constructed manner. Not all of his videos interests me as some are very specific about a certain game but that's completely fine.

Arlo - He does really well in presentation, not only in his puppet thing but also as in speaking in a expressive and pleasing manner. I think he's best when he's criticizing things, like his Origami Kingdom video. I still watch his "topic arlo" style videos. Sometimes he provide genuinely interesting feelings and insight to a otherwise simple topic, other times it just feels like he's padding the hell out of it but I listen anyway as a comfort watch. xD

Cathode Ray Dude - Biggest computer nerd ever, he picks obscure and obsolete products and tells all about the interesting history and quirky features about it in a very interesting and charismatic way.

8 bit gay - a typo but I'm gonna leave it now - his content is largely focused on 8 bit computers and his own personal projects. There's a causal energy in his videos mixed with some good editing which I like it. He speaks very well too, thought I've said that for every youtuber so far so at this point that's pretty much a requirement for me xD

What happun - he's on the more formulaic show host side of things, but I find his content well presented and quite informative. I like Stop Skeletons From Fighting for similar reasons.

Honorable Mention

Mittens Squad https://www.youtube.com/@MittenSquad
Mittens, Real name Paul. Was a very Dry humor type of Youtuber. Sadly Alcoholism took him on December 14, 2023. he was one of my Favorite Tubers, who did Fallout/Skyrim content.
 
English:

Saberspark and Steve Reviews are my to go for reviewing movies, both classic as well as ancient
AVGN nowadays is hit and miss, but even his worst videos are great time wasters
East Patch; hosts of various animations, their goatedest being Angel Hare, a false Analog Horror that is in fact a very soothing story

Spanish:

A sketch maker called Missasinfonia, i use the term Sketch loosely because he does some random crap and pinning it as one thing is hard, and i watched the guy from 2020 onwards
F.A.P Bros is like AVGN but replace anger issues with sever crazyness
But the one that is definitively... well, if you know you know

Empiezan los fucking guamazos finales

Love those two myself!
 
I also used to watch Funderful on Twitch for his Banjo-Kazooie speedruns. I even saw him getting second place at world record!

I stopped watching him after he moved on to Minecrafr speedruns, I gotta check some time to see if he got back at BK.

There's a lot of channels I watch but overall I'd say RedletterMedia, I can rewatch and rewatch episodes multiple times and still be entertained. They primarily do movie reviews in various ways and forms, but I watch it primarily as comedy entertainment as they're all hilarious people.
 
Yes! And he's a treasure -- he even let me interview him for a forum a few years back.
just from watching him for a few years <don't recall when i found his channel> he seems like a Genuinely Funny, and Down to earth Guy.

Kinda dude, you would have some Drink's with. and Shit talk a Cheesy 80's movie with ya'know

Yep. He even organized a forum gathering a few years back and ran into Mcgyver himself -- Richard Dean Anderson. What a legend XD

Yeah, like i said. Seems down to earth.
Some tuber's you can just tell, they are Full of themselves. and Assholes.
Like Linus Tech tips. Dude just come's off as a Major Self-centered Asshole to me.

And i mean when he first started. he gave me that Vibe. so i never watched more than a handful of his stuff

Yeah... There's one I'm not gonna name whom I reached for comment and they were very rude about it.
 
In English I watch a lot but mostly: Nitro Rad, Fussy slippers, BlueLad, Boofcan, Caddicarus, Chris Mcfeely, ClementJ64, Diamondbolt, Dungeon Chill, Eurothug4000, Game Sack, Guilewinquote, I Finished a Videogame, Josh strife plays, Majular, Mandalore gaming, Marsh, Matt McMuscles, minimme and a lot more.

Alan Becker (noogai89, the creator of Animator vs Animation/Animation vs Minecraft), HatLovingGamer (an animator perfectyl replicating the games he's animating with a bit of enhancements to make them look more modern), World of Longplays (qubex55, channel that posts longplays of classic and modern video games), and TasVideosChannel (similara premise to qubex55 but it posts TASses (Tool Assisted Speedruns) of classic and modern video games)

I used to like LevelUP along with HLG, but that dudde never continues his most ambitious animations.
