I forgot he blew up in the last couple years. Been watching his channel since it wasn't very well known.

Dude made a 2 hours video on the "OOF" sound. (And it was glorious)

The meme is just as good without the word niche. You don't need to enforce meme accuracy on the internet. Everyone will survive if we talk about YouTubers who aren't niche

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago

you: HBomberguy is niche
people who would not know he existed were it not for his plagiarism video: lmao no he's not

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

so niche (I say as I only discovered him with the latest vid)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

He deserves it though, they're long and very well done videos

Support them on Patreon, they're doing it in their own free time :)

Ahoy is like this. His videos are awesome though.

Whenever LEMMiNO does post though, the quality is so high that I'm astounded he finished it as quickly as he did.

quality >>> quantity

YouTube was so much better when this was the norm.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I honestly prefer this tbh. Shows that the passion comes from making the videos they want rather than grinding to survive

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Yeah, a channel I follow has grown and pivoted from "making a video when they have a topic they care about", which was still quite frequent, to "scheduled biweekly videos on a topic interesting to the widest audience" and it's really killed the magic.

Like, their choice and I wish them well, but it's not for me anymore.

Sam O'Nella Academy four years ago but instead of six months it was three years.

MFW creators take the time to make better content instead of dumping out weekly garbage

At least yours posts. I've gotten into the bad habit of subscribing to dudes weeks or months before they fuck off into the nether never to be seen again.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

Summoning Salt.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

I'm sad every time I find a well-made video, want to subscribe, then discover the video is two years old and the channel never uploaded anything else.

Captain Disillusion

So long waiting, but the content is absolutely top tier.

This was Mitten Squad. RIP you magnificent bastard

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Came here to see if anyone mentioned this. That one hurt. Only knew him via his videos, but I miss him. RIP you magnificent bastard indeed.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

This is why you should follow hundreds to thousands of niche, mostly-inactive YouTubers. Every day you'll get a couple new videos that only you and 17 other people will ever see, with content unlike anything anyone else is making, and if you're lucky the video might even be good too.

History Oversimplified fans be like:

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

6 months would be an improvement

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

I'm a fan of the video game historian. I wish it was only 6 months between videos

hbomberguy - releases a 6hr epic every 6 months.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Engineer Guy went years between ~~books~~ uploads. I had to do a double take when he came up in my feed a few months ago.

Gosu-sama, who makes Minecraft tutorials. These are some of my favorite videos even though there are only like 6 of them.

Settled went to weekly and I'm so hyped.
