Mine are Michael Sugrue (philosophy) and hasoyi (asian music mixtapes).
TotalBiscuit :(
Hopefully heaven has a fov slider…
Epic
RIP in peace.
Epic Rap Battles of History isn’t exactly dead but they don’t post content nearly as much has they used to. And there are some bona-fide classics on there worth watching again and again.
Eppppcrppbttttlsffffhstooooorrrry
Begin!
They started a career doing advertising work for niche businesses. The Chuck Testa ad was their doing.I was mistaken
Wikipedia disagrees with you about chuck testa. That advertising was done by comedians Rhett & Link.
Wait you’re RIGHT! Good fact check, I didn’t realize Rett&Link was a different group. I said some straight up disinfo there
Loved Chuck Norris vs abe Lincoln. “I gotta bucket full of my head and I’m about to make it raaaiiin”
There’s a new one coming this weekend!
Hbomberguy
Not a dead channel though. 4 hour videos just take a lot of time to produce. The same goes for ContraPoints, Münecat, and Noah Caldwell-Gervais
I don’t know who those other people are, but I was just joking about the fact it’s years between videos.
New video is about to drop real soon. 4.5 hour version is already on patron. Final version will probably be even a bit longer
PhotonicInduction
I aint ‘avin it.
I miss photonic
We have Styropyro now, but even his imagination isnt quite as unhinged as Photonic Induction
totalbisquit, though more out of respect than rewatching
I recently re-watched a few episodes of Lord of the Arena and Shoutcraft. Good stuff :'^(
Hello Internet
Technically a podcast, but I listened to the YouTube version for whatever reason and occasionally go back for my favorite episodes.

There’s been a lot to come out where Grey wasn’t the best in a lot of business dealings/situations. For instance, Nebula would have been a lot worse if Grey was still in charge.
However, even with that, it is surprising how slow moving this self proclaimed efficiency except is.
That was an interesting watch, thanks for sharing! I had a laugh when he said the Flaggy Flag rebels now have control of the subreddit.
I agree with your frustration about how the podcast ended. I get that listeners weren’t owed anything and that it was a very Grey way to go, but it just felt rude. At least we got an official announcement when Cortex said Grey was going on hiatus (and one that every HI listener knew how to interpret), but the lack of videos on his main channel over the last year is just plain odd.
Nevertheless, I hope this is all simply Grey being impolite and not, like, health problems or anything.
I was a big fan of HI and Grey, until I started to notice that a lot of the stuff Grey talked about was a bit misleading or straight up wrong. Theres now quite a bit of “CGP Grey debunked” style videos by people who actually know their stuff, based on what those are saying, I have no interest in watching any more Grey content.

Oof, I always wondered if there were more things of his that were inaccurate.
What I caught was the hexagon video and his claim about triangles (combined to make hexagon) being the best for building rockets. I worked in the launch side of aerospace at the time, and true Atlas V and Delta IV were built with triangles… But only on their booster tanks. Their upper stages had a completely different design structure, as do Vulcan, Falcon 9, Starship, New Glenn, Electron, etc etc
Triangles were only used on Atlas V and Delta IV because CAD in the 90s didn’t do rectangles very well. That’s not a problem anymore, so triangles don’t get used
Sadly quite often these youtubers and others who speak a lot about a lot of different topics with a sort of surface level understanding are very often quite badly wrong. Especially the ones who say stuff like “X is best because its used in Y application”
That level of simplification is not very healthy for most stuff. Of course, there are some channels that do talk about a lot of topics but do very good research and/or ask for experts to help out with their script.
I listened for a while but really fell off the more I realized that CGP grey is kind of an idiot.
GTOger has been really quiet lately, probably since his company moved to a different place that isn’t next to the lot patrolled by the tow trucks.
yovo68 (The 11 foot 8 bridge) has also reduced in uploads since they raised the bridge by 8 inches.
Bill Wurtz only uploads every once in a blue moon.
And I’ve only just noticed that Vi Hart deleted her channel. That’s a kick in the whimsy, for sure.
Bill Wurtz channel isn’t dead. He just spends a lot of time on his videos
There are many channels I stay subscribed even if there is a gap in content from a month to years.
Looking at my PipePipe subs - Bob Music, Digital Engine, EugeneTeo, Fuzo Tech, Humble Road, Husk IRL, Laura Malvoyante, Ozzy Man Reviews, Potholer54, Side of Burritos, The Imaginary Axis, The Invisible Internet I2P, Veronica Explains are all low on new content.
Doesn’t cost me anything to stay subbed.
I don’t think I’ve ever unsubscribed from someone or a channel just because they stopped posting. Like you said, it costs nothing, and if they’re not posting it’s not like their lack of posts is cluttering anything. Then if they ever do come back, I’ll be one of the first to know.
Exactly.
even if there is a gap in content from a month
A month, wow… Even three months I consider a very healthy schedule.

Technoblade never dies! Tom Scott came back, so I was right staying.
Mitten Squad. Guy popularized challenge runs with his fallout and elder scrolls playthroughs, and his deadpan delivery gets me every time. Unfortunately passed away after a long battle with alcoholism. I miss that dude. I don’t think he realized how much light he brought the world.
I fully agree, I was devastated when I learned what happened, he used to be my go-to for when I needed a good laugh after a hard day. I’ll still go back and watch his videos, I just wish he could have gotten the help he needed
Jenny Nicholson
CommunityChannel
Jenny is still pretty active. If you’ve got $1/month for her patreon she has a huge library of monthly videos which are decent.
What kind of videos are those monthly ones?
The format is her just talking to the camera. Unedited, the patreon supporters vote on the topic, but she still does preparation and research on the subject to present. Usually at least 45 minutes each and there’s 105 of them now
The last five topics have been:
Short-lived fads & failed "next big thing"s
Halcy-con (the fan memorial convention for the Star Wars cruise hotel thing)
Tier-Ranking Fish
Hunger Games Knockoff Dystopian
Revisiting Old Fandoms
Oh nice that’s exactly the kind of Jenny I want, I’ll check out her Patreon.
Not on YouTube.
They actually are. She just has the videos delisted to enforce the paywall. It’s better then using youtube’s pay model
Her YouTube channel, which I would use as a measure of her activity, is only seeing videos posted every once in a while to a point where it could be treated as dead.
Well, there’s new stuff on the site if you want it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Is Jenny Nicholson’s channel dead? She just…posts like one 4 hour video a year.
It isn’t really alive.
Munecat. Not sure if dead, but it’s sure been long since she posted anything.
She’s switched to doing almost everything entirely on patreon.
PBS Idea Channel. Such a good channel.
I got to meet the host once. He was a really great guy in person.
TheGIF video is my all time favorite!
I like Mike’s other stuff, but this will always hold a special place in my heart. Their videos taught me that not only could you learn stuff from YouTube, it could be really fun!
Apetor.
Oh man. I have to revisit his channel.
Is lindsay ellis still putting new content on yt?
Not on YouTube that I’ve noticed, but she still posts on Nebula.
Well, then she’s my vote. Lots of great videos, esp The Whole Plate.
yes, and on nebula as well I think
