Would love to see what niche/under appreciated creators are out there! Also what your favorite videos are of theirs!

Mine is this guy who creates songs based on Age of Empires 2 SFX and content creators/pros. So he's SUPER niche and will probably never become big, but I still adore him.

Catchy song made with AOE2 sfx

A totally legit love song about how much a pro named MBL loves another player called Hoang.

A content creator named T90 told a story about how he got absolutely rinsed in a game, and it was memorialized as a banger.

So yeah! Show me your tiny content creators that you adore!

Me! I have less than 1000 subs and I enjoy most of my own videos! I put lots of time and effort into editing them to make them as silly and entertaining as I could while also remembering not to push myself too hard because I’m throwing my stuff into the wind.

Park'd and Rec'd, a disc golf channel that covers all the Charlotte NC area disc golf courses. Funny guys that aren't pro level good, so you can see how a decent disc golfer would play a given course:

Right on! Perfect little niche content creator. A channel like that is probably great for a new player cause they probably can review courses for a much more sane level.

Found Row's channel from a similar thread years ago: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo6n98yEksXx0kHT4TA8_hQ

This guy does runs of the Pokemon Stadium games blindfolded. And I don't fully know why, but it's just super chill and enjoyable to watch these videos casually.

He's right at 1000 now. Though I don't see any recent uploads, hope he's not done.

I listen to the Tin Dog Podcast sometimes when I'm making breakfast. Who stuff including Big Finish, Blake's 7, and other sci-fi.

2k videos and 500 subs?

Dear goodness that man is dedicated.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Haha! I hadn't thought about that. Maybe his listenership primarily uses RSS. I miss RSS podcasts.

Edit: Forgot a word.

He's got 3000 subscribers, but I really love Brother Jauffre. This video lives rent free in my head: https://youtu.be/ERfhHK8zBdE

He just makes absurd little videos about whatever. If you like silly nonsensical things (which I do), he'll be great for you.

[–] ericbomb 2 points 3 months ago

Boys will be boys got me giggling pretty hard.

I will accept 3k subs, but you’re on thin ice!

Thanks for the downvotes I guess? Not sure what's wrong with my suggestions...
