Who/What are your favourite content creators?

@cwagner@lemmy.cwagner.me · 2Y

I hate “content creator”, is a band playing music a content creator? Is an author writing books? Is it just stuff that’s online-only? Anyway.

Live stream:

Food-adjacent: Drunk students who buy food at the Grubtruck in Moscow, Idaho, USA
Food: Katt’s Kitchen, foulmouthed Aussie cooking streamer

Angry Metal Guy is actually several people reviewing (mostly) metal albums, but they all have a great style of writing I very much enjoy.

I’m on the other side of your opinion - I like that phrase. “Content” can mean art, audio/visual media, writings, etc. - basically anything that we consume.

IMO, Professional creative like artists/writers/performers are all content creators but not not all content creators are professional creatives.

In this day and age, everyone creates music, comedy, videos, skits. Some work a job primarily but create media or rabbitholes that can be scoured through.

I think “content creator” is a nice catch-all term for personalities that do a lot of stuff that can be casually consumed for entertainment or discourse, especially because it stops limiting said people to one occupation like “musician” or “author”, while also preserving the seriousness of those occupations.

IMO, Professional creative like artists/writers/performers are all content creators but not not all content creators are professional creatives.

And yet this thread has youtubers, podcasters, streamers. Are those vastly more popular than musicians and authors, or does almost everyone use “content creator” differently? I have yet to hear anyone say “Taylor Swift is my favorite content creator”.

@TooMuchDog@lemmy.ml · 2Y

I’m surprised he hasn’t been mentioned so far, but DougDoug is my favorite YouTuber/streamer. He has some of the most creative and entertaining videos of any currently active content creator imho.

100% That video where he voice changes as an old lady and convinces a scammer that she wont use any piece of technology because she was afraid of the robot uprising was gold. His ability to improv like 3-4 people on the phone switching voice changers seamlessly is amazing

@God_Is_Love@reddthat.com · 2Y

Yes!!! I genuinely think he’s the best improv artist I’ve ever seen, and he can multitask so well. I’ve also learned a ton about scams from him and use the information to reach out to companies and try to enact change.

Something else I appreciate is that he treats anyone and everyone with respect (no matter how vile they are towards him); not something you see on the internet often.

So glad youtube has these kinds of channels and its not all just clickbait cringey trash. I wish there were a browser plugin or something to filter out reaction videos and anything where there’s a gen-Z-er just straight overreacting and yelling at their phone

Jeff · 2Y

Agreed :) also wtf TikTok. I refuse to use that site or that app.

Ocelot · 2Y

I filter out tiktok on my home firewall. There is absolutely nothing worth seeing on it.

Jeff · 2Y

Yup me also on my Pi-holes. Best idea ever.

Thoraya’s yt channel has been one of my faves for years now. She basically asks questions and such to stranger on the streets, I love hearing about peoples’ experiences, thoughts, life stories etc

I also enjoy EXPLORE WITH US’ content, it’s a yt channel focused on true crime, unsolved cases etc. The majority of their videos include clips in the interrogation room that are being analysed, it’s super interesting

My Favorite Youtube Channels (Not in any particular order):

Jacksepticeye - Gaming and variety content - Very wholesome Irish dude, never heard of any controversies about him

Ted-Ed - Education channel with variety of history, science, some philosophy, and a lot of good riddles (actual good riddles, unlike some other channels)

CGP Grey - Hexagon is the bestagon! - But seriously, it’s a bunch of cool stuff about various topics

Exurb1a - Philosophy that can trigger an Existential Crisis

Vsauce - Science, but weird

Veritasium - Science, but interesting

Mark Rober - Engineering, and pranking scammers and “porch pirates” with a fake package containing a device that shoots out glitter

Mentour Pilot - Interesting stuff about Aviation, story-telling of aircraft accidents/incidents with an explanation of the technical stuff he knows as a pilot (I don’t work in the aviation industry and I’m not a frequent flier, I’m just obsessed with aviation stuff)

Louis Rossmann - Right to repair, technology stuff, and occasional cat videos (and some in the “shorts” section)

@Tsouintsouin@lemmy.sdf.org · 2Y

I like Michael Jackson, he has some smooth tracks. But the man hasn’t published in a while

SoNick · 2Y

@Tsouintsouin Yeah, I hear some of his team worked with a big video game company in the 90s?
