Chyrosran's mechanical keyboard reviews and teardowns. YouTube's recommendation algorithm always shows me a new video when it's posted, and it's not wrong. I'm a fan of mechanical kb's (typing this on a Topre Type Heaven), but this particular tuber also has a great voice and presentation.

Rosanna Pasino... especially the Nerdy Nummies stuff.

When she's a bit too peppy, I have to turn the volume down or off (it sounds like the worst sort of baby talk to me), but the stuff she makes is amazing.

Old School Runescape videos. Don't even play the game, but it brings me some nostalgia from times playing in 04-07 years.

Shoenice. It's quite a thing to watch someone down a fifth of vodka, whiskey, gin and all assorted forms of liquor within a few seconds. Also, street fights, paparazzi videos and just going down the youtube rabbit hole and seeing where it takes me. Though youtube rabbit hole was a lot more fun before youtube decided to censor everything.

My kids are into her and I like it enough to watch with them sometimes. At first I rolled my eyes (mostly at the baby talk), after a few videos I was impressed. Now having watched dozens of them, I'm really amazed at her combination of creativity, artistic skills, attention to detail, and the massive amount of labor she must put into everything from test recipes to social media marketing. I barely cook and am uninterested in pop-culture but she is weirdly an inspiration to me.
