I’m sorry if this is not the best place for this, I couldn’t think of anywhere better to ask about it
the reason most of these people are youtubers is because I went through my youtube subscriptions for ideas
edit: I’ve just realized I forgot to add rule to the title but I don’t know how to fit it in there with it looking not bad
Harry Brewis (hbomberguy)
Some of my personal ones are:
Gabe Newell
The vinesauce crew (Vinny, Joel, Limes, Rev, etc)
Jerma
Jabroni Mike
Fredrick “fat nuts” Knudsen
WhiskeyDing0
Hideki Naganuma
King Gizzard
Peter Gabriel
Ross Scott (acursed farms)
John Carmack
John Romero
Might update this with more if I think of any.
Who is Jerma and why does YouTube keep trying to force me to watch their vids.
Aaron Swartz?
Fred Rogers
Dolly Parton
Steve Wozniak
Betty White
Carl Sagan
Hedy Lamarr
Albert Einstein
Grace Hopper
Alan Turing
Just YouTubers? I don’t really know them as people but I think the content they create is admirable at least:
Electroboom
Mark Rober<- Never mind, apparently he’s down with Autism Speaks (a shitty group that wants to “cure” neurodivergence) That’s a shame.Kurzgesagt
SmarterEveryDay
Oversimplified
Vsauce
Veritasium
Captain Disillusion
ZeFrank
ForgottenWeapons
I guess I’m kind of a sucker for educational stuff.
Personally, Veritasium is out of that list for me due to some of his more recent videos. He still has some good content but I really disliked that “rods from God” video where it feels like he’s basically doing the same thing as the “How Ridiculous” guys and trying to disguise it as science communication. And the (admittedly few) ones where he’s basically disguising advertising as his regular content.
I nominate BobbyBroccoli to take his spot.
maybe some women?
Seems unnecessary to list women just because they are women.
Steve from Gamers Nexus. Dude is like TotalBiscuit but for tech, not just gaming. Also, TotalBiscuit, if you are ok with adding those that have passed to the list…
I had high hopes that Genna Bain would continue tb’s legacy. I can’t imagine losing someone so publicly.
I couldn’t imagine doing that. Just stepping into the role of your recently deceased partner. That’d be tough. At this point, I am sad that no one has really stepped into that role, even just a spiritual successor.
