Mine are Michael Sugrue (philosophy) and hasoyi (asian music mixtapes).
Does Veritasium count? It’s not exactly dead, but its a zombie.
Seth Everman still makes me laugh
I miss Brian David Gilbert hosting polygon, his absurd videos like cooking every recipe in Zelda were great. AnyAustin has kind of stepped in to fill the void (and then some!), but BDG was doing great stuff. He’s still around with his own channel which can be very funny but it’s not quite the game related stuff I miss.
Technoblade and Mitten Squad are the 2 I keep. I miss TB’s humor and MS’s Fallout & Skyrim challenge videos.
Apollo Legend and Camelworks. Two great young fellows who went too soon 😞
Meh. Apollo wasted time defending a self described white supremacist for facing the consequences of being a self described white supremacist. That kind of guy gets no sympathy from me.
Yogs cast.
I really miss Jack Stauber.
VinoFarm - It was a nice positive beekeeping channel
Far North Bushcraft And Survival - Watching the guy survive in absolutely freezing conditions.
BlackMetalVegan: vegan cooking with a twist you might not guess…OK it’s in the name you guessed it
Robert Murray-Smith, inventor, maker, gentleman, Englishman

Found out he died, committed suicide. Sad.
Looking at his channel, he really has some high quality content. Its sad that it had to end in that way.
I’m surprised no one mentioned Comicstorian. He would do long form reads of comic books and he would like to act out quotes. Right when he was becoming huge on youtube he randomly crashed into a tree and died. 🤷♂️ life is Strange.
RubberNinja. I miss Ross’ offbeat sense of humor and his collabs with EgoRaptor.
Been 6 years since the last upload, so it seems well and truly dead.
Another one is HelloImAPizza, who became known for his compilation of PSAs across the world, and for his high-quality presentation of the matter. Been a year since he uploaded and tends to go several years without new content, so mayne he’ll come back some day. Dunno.
Kruggsmash. He’s mostly (maybe entirely?) A Dwarf Fortress creator. I first found him just looking for basic tutorials of how to play the game, but soon started watching his series where he uses the game as a platform for storytelling. He takes the procedurally generated stuff and fleshes it out. He voiced characters and made incredibly charming drawings for important scenes.
Camelworks. Rest in peace- the channel is dead because he passed away earlier this year. Mostly did content dicing into Elder Scrolls games, occasionally Fallout and other games.
Is It a Good Idea to Microwave This? - classic old school YouTube, from the days when it waa just high school and college students fucking around. Just 3 dudes with a camera, an extra microwave, and someone’s parents cool enough to let them do dumb stuff. They eventually stopped as life caused the 3 of them to grow apart.
I recently found out Katherineofsky has died but her factorio malls and videos influenced the community so much…
Oh no! I didn’t know. I still call them undergroundies
I heard quill18 make some off the hand comment about her passing and she hasn’t uploaded anything in months so I think it’s true but can’t find anything confirming it, checked her twitter(silent), her youtube(silent), her twitch(silent)… But no direct message about her passing
Daniel Naroditsky, he was able to explain chess in a way that was very easy to understand and made playing much less intimidating
