Mine are Hakim, overzealots, spooky scary socialist, wow_mao, and probably others that I don’t remember right now
I don’t think this counts as a question? But it’s more of a discussion, hope this counts as one

I feel like video-essayist is a legacy art form already. Theres so few of them still releasing good things that you cant be picky about the subjects.
What do you think took its place? Or rather, there isn’t an audience for video essays to be as common as they used to be?
I think nobody ever thought about youtube as a career, or a job even. They thought it would be a side hustle until a real job came along. Which is why so much of youtube lately has felt like the channel doing some soul searching about their life. I.E. the folding ideas I dont know james rolfe video, patrick willems death of the music video. A lot of video essayist are film majors; but unlike how music videos and commercials became a reliable method to get into the real movie business, being a youtuber didnt help you get real work. Print media is doing even worse so all the English majors who tried video essays have even worse luck.
I think a lot of people who would have become youtubers 10 years ago have substacks that get 10 views.
