I’m talking YouTube channels with a few thousand views, streamers with single digit viewers, writers who only get a few reads on their submissions.
Since the fediverse is all about boosting connection to smaller voices, let’s share the love!

Vzedshows is a video game content creator I really enjoy.
Strong Towns is a channel about city planning and urban centres.
Shifter is about urban cycling and focussed on Canadian cities.
Robert Hoskin finds and restores old films. Mostly Japanese ones.
Olden Demon creates cool videos about old Warhammer 40k
Mars Guy does a weekly dive into what is going on with Perseverance on mars. Super interesting.
James Channel is all about retro games and messing around with them.
Grouse House is an Australian absurd comedy group. They make fucked stuff.
Face Full of Eyes does absolutely incredible breakdowns on the aesthetics of games.
Canadiana makes some of the best documentaries about Canada.
Every channel here I believe is under 100k subscribers. So much great stuff waiting to be found.
*Edit: Fixed URLs, if they still don’t work let me know.
Think your links might be broken?
Yeah sorry about that. I just went through and fixed them on desktop. I think I got them all.
I’m a big fan of Reel Knewz on YouTube. They only have about 1.5k subscribers, but they’re the closest thing I’ve found to All Gas No Breaks/Channel 5 since the news came out about Andrew Callaghan.
Technology Connections for deep dives on seemingly mundane things
Knowing Better and Kaz Rowe for history
Alpha Phoenix for Science
I like how Knowing Better went from “general history” to the “slavery and cults” guy. Dude has found his calling.
You know how modern semiconductor components are made in billion-dollar fabs? Well, you can actually make them in a garage, at least simple ones.
Damn, he’s got a lot of equipment though. I was hoping I could just setup a jig with 2x4s and melt sand with a blowtorch
Country Fried Minis is great. He paints Battletech and Infinity minis mostly, but my favorite aspect is that he often streams while video editing, which is a cool behind the scenes of content creation for a young artist. Very nice guy who has always been engaged and willing to answer questions, offer advice, etc when I spoke up in chat.
Kelvin Shadewing on yt. Has 737 subs as of me typing this and posts videos about the game he’s working on (SuperTux Advance).
Blame Society Films: https://youtube.com/@blamesocietyfilms
Their “Welcome to the Basement” videos have really awoken my passion for older films. They’re hilarious.
I was searching for some videos on The Expanse TV show and got hooked on reaction channels.
The ReviewCrew just started a watch from season one, and I’m enjoying their banter while their minds are being blown.
My wife told me to put my channel here, but I won’t plug :)
But seriously though, I love the content from 4hardy! For AOE fans he’s a legend: https://www.youtube.com/@4Hardy
Be your own favorite small time creator and plug away!
Don’t mind if I do! Also, feel free to suggest more ideas + feedbacks. https://www.youtube.com/@FancyGUI
Shameless self plug incoming!
Ya know, this guy ChamrsDeluxe is alright! He does music, chainmail, gaming, reaction content. He took a long break after getting hit with some depression, but he’s got some quality content that is just hard to get eyes on. Even put out a fairly high production value video on “gfx artists” who are just scammers that constantly plague small creators.
Definitely check him out!
Joe’s Classic Video Games, two brothers who repair old arcade machines. Their videos are usually in a long format so you’ll see the whole process. They explain what they’re doing and talk about the history. Really good to watch when you have a spare couple of hours.
I’m surprised that Penny Pixel’s YouTube channel isn’t more popular. They create pixel-perfect parodies of old 8-bit games.
My favourite is a video of the ‘Sierra’ adventure game Joker, based on the Batman movie of the same name. But there’s also California Games 2018 (where you compete in events like fidget spinning and drone flying) and Mamma Mia! Kart Racer (which is actually worse than it sounds – don’t say I didn’t warn you!).
Bouncing on my boys dicks.
If you know, you know.
