Tired of seeing the same old youtubers/twitch streamers get recommended/talked about all the time. Do you have some really good small time folks that are amazing?
not under 10k but he has 20k subscribers. Prussian Blue on youtube has excellent chemistry videos.
Shoujoago’s Twitch streamer. She’s an artist, female drag performer, and lover of cats. She plays obscure independent games she finds, draws stuff, sometimes has game nights, and hosts with her cat Marzipan. Huge Phoenix Wright fan. Usually has streams 2-3 times a week. Very calm and relaxed.
Joel Bocko, aka Lost in the Movies 8.84k subs on YouTube - particularly for those who like Twin Peaks but also for anyone who loves quality cinema, both popular and arthouse.
His work on Twin Peaks is magnificent, and deserves so much more attention than it gets. And he comes across as a really nice genuine, unassuming guy.
His website is https://www.lostinthemovies.com, with podcasts, interviews written pieces and more. Well worth a look.
If you like laid back walking videos then ABitOfAWander
No wonder Americans say you need a car to go around. Looking at the videos you can get a sense of vastness and how lonely/deserted the place is.
I’ve been enjoying https://www.twitch.tv/moridrex he streams a variety of games, but I honestly love his banter most of the time. Very chill dude.
Chrontendo has been playing every NES/Famicom came in release order for over a decade. Slow upload schedule but quality content.
Pixelmusement main series is “Ancient DOS Games” and I was watching this series before he was on YouTube from his own site. Basically every episode (has over 300 now) is dedicated to a single game where he reviews is and tells you how to getting it run on DOSBox.
I listen to Ranting Monkey. He’s a political and news commentator that leans conservative. He posts 2 hour live streams five or more days a week. His channel has over 10k subscribers but gets a few thousand views on his live streams.
Rick Darge is fantastic if you’re into high-quality, short form sketch comedy. Krazam has grown recently but is still relatively small and makes more tech-related sketches.

I love watching stuff like that! I’ll have to watch some of their stuff!
Steamed Brocolli 69 (animations)
I found the channel from an animated dunkey video and it’s been cool watching him develop his style in little clips since then.
Unresolved Textual Tension is a great YouTube / podcast for book reviews and/or roasts. Generally a mix of fantasy and sci-fi, largely newer stuff (The Locked Tomb, Murderbot, Kushiel) with some classics thrown in (Dune, Hyperion). The show features 3 people with great chemistry.

NicoD’s SBCs. Does single board computer reviews, traveling videos and music. Around 4,4k subs https://www.youtube.com/@NicoDsSBCs
Nice tip.
Used to be Carnasa cause I subbed when he had 300 subs but now he’s got way more than 10k
Art of Drink for anyone who’s into craft cocktails, soft drinks, general food science. 10.8k subs but close enough. He’s a treasure trove of knowledge, technique and reference materials for applying food science to drinks
I’ve recently started watching Alice in Wonder1and . She’s a trans girl from New Zealand, doing some form of memey content in some way related to trans or femboys. I personally find her content really entertaining.
I also like ParrotDash’s content. He’s the person who completes about every Celeste map ever deathless. Their content is more stream highlights, but is still entertaining.
