    Twin Perfect. I love their Silent Hill content. I was hoping on a review of the Silent Hill 2 remake, but nothing so far.

    RubberNinja. I miss Ross’ offbeat sense of humor and his collabs with EgoRaptor.

    Been 6 years since the last upload, so it seems well and truly dead.

    Another one is HelloImAPizza, who became known for his compilation of PSAs across the world, and for his high-quality presentation of the matter. Been a year since he uploaded and tends to go several years without new content, so mayne he’ll come back some day. Dunno.

    I’m surprised no one mentioned Comicstorian. He would do long form reads of comic books and he would like to act out quotes. Right when he was becoming huge on youtube he randomly crashed into a tree and died. 🤷‍♂️ life is Strange.

    Kruggsmash. He’s mostly (maybe entirely?) A Dwarf Fortress creator. I first found him just looking for basic tutorials of how to play the game, but soon started watching his series where he uses the game as a platform for storytelling. He takes the procedurally generated stuff and fleshes it out. He voiced characters and made incredibly charming drawings for important scenes.

    Camelworks. Rest in peace- the channel is dead because he passed away earlier this year. Mostly did content dicing into Elder Scrolls games, occasionally Fallout and other games.

    Is It a Good Idea to Microwave This? - classic old school YouTube, from the days when it waa just high school and college students fucking around. Just 3 dudes with a camera, an extra microwave, and someone’s parents cool enough to let them do dumb stuff. They eventually stopped as life caused the 3 of them to grow apart.

    Does MountainDog1 count? The channel uploads reposts all the time but no new content.

    RIP John Meadows, I had/have the utmost respect for him.

    Kent carlevi - easily the best guitar videos on yt. The fact that he made them almost 20 years ago is mind boggling.

    Mitten Squad. Guy popularized challenge runs with his fallout and elder scrolls playthroughs, and his deadpan delivery gets me every time. Unfortunately passed away after a long battle with alcoholism. I miss that dude. I don’t think he realized how much light he brought the world.

    If anyone is curious

    Epic Rap Battles of History isn’t exactly dead but they don’t post content nearly as much has they used to. And there are some bona-fide classics on there worth watching again and again.

    Early in YouTubeland (circa 2008-2010) there was a user called AntiConsumer. Content was all taken down and the profile disappeared.

    I’d love to know where to find some of that material now. There were clips from documentaries, ads, lectures and more. Might have seen my first bits of Michael Parenti there. Im pretty sure that my firat exposure to Wesley Clark’s “7 countries in 5 years” talk was from there.
