    I remember following the Escapist when they transitioned to YouTube, after probably longer than a decade of hosting their own stuff on their own service. I remember seeing all these shows they had spun up, but they all had exponentially less viewership than anything with Yahtzee in it. There were movie reviews which I occasionally caught and a bunch of other content that I just didn’t care for.

    I tried to get into the other creators on the platform but only Yahtzee had any staying power for me. Extra Punctuation was great too when Jack started coming in. I’ve been a fan of Jack’s since his Red Letter Media days, when he was doing Pre-Rec with Rich Evans.

      Sebastian “Frost” Ruiz’s stuff has quickly gained loving fans. I recommend looking at his Cold Take ot Stuff of Legend stuff if you haven’t.
