One of the things I miss about the friend who won’t talk to me anymore was how they would show me stuff they liked on YouTube. One of the last times we hung out we watched these short videos by this guy, can’t recall his name, who would talk about obscure food-related facts, like how the color coding on the bread clip things work.
I only have two channels that I really give a fuck about currently, Nexpo and Chemdelic. It’s hard for me to list off ‘things I’m interested in’, so either extrapolate from there, or just run shit by me.
One thing I can say though is I hate how extremely out of the loop I’ve become. Not just in regard to politics but media and other shit too.
Also doesn’t have to be channel recommendations. Just like, stuff you think I might like.
If you want something more comedic, or gaming based, I’d suggest checking out Wayneradiotv/the RTVS crew. Fair warning, a bit younger (mid to late 20s, I think one is 30.) Pretty big crew, all are good friends, very much goofy and silly and always looking for a bit. Definitely not for everyone, but its junk food content I don’t have to feel bad about because they’re all genuinely good people, have at minimum decent politics, and are genuinely funny. Extremely trans and LGBT friendly , pro-Palestine, etc.
Jokes range from 9/11 being a reoccurring gag, the main streamer being “called out” for being the white cis-het of the group, being “viewer hostile” to avoid parasocial weirdos, enjoying bad AI shit, and you usual internet funnies. One streamer had to reupload a vod after it ended with a usual guest saying “All crackers should die”. They have also a weird way of being related to a lot of internet culture, like the moonbase alpha video, lots of tumblr memes, and a series which hit it big in 2020.
The only problem is I have no idea where to direct someone new to them. Its too much of a collective art piece.
