I forgot he blew up in the last couple years. Been watching his channel since it wasn't very well known.

[–] ours@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Dude made a 2 hours video on the "OOF" sound. (And it was glorious)

[–] Aabbcc@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

The meme is just as good without the word niche. You don't need to enforce meme accuracy on the internet. Everyone will survive if we talk about YouTubers who aren't niche

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 15 points 10 months ago

you: HBomberguy is niche
people who would not know he existed were it not for his plagiarism video: lmao no he's not

[–] fogstormberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 10 months ago

so niche (I say as I only discovered him with the latest vid)

[–] BillyTheSkidMark@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He deserves it though, they're long and very well done videos

Support them on Patreon, they're doing it in their own free time :)

[–] Swarfega@lemm.ee 30 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Ahoy is like this. His videos are awesome though.

[–] ExplosiveLynx@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Just put out a sweet video about the G36

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago

Whenever LEMMiNO does post though, the quality is so high that I'm astounded he finished it as quickly as he did.

[–] swag_money@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago

quality >>> quantity

YouTube was so much better when this was the norm.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I honestly prefer this tbh. Shows that the passion comes from making the videos they want rather than grinding to survive

[–] Cheskaz@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Yeah, a channel I follow has grown and pivoted from "making a video when they have a topic they care about", which was still quite frequent, to "scheduled biweekly videos on a topic interesting to the widest audience" and it's really killed the magic.

Like, their choice and I wish them well, but it's not for me anymore.

Sam O'Nella Academy four years ago but instead of six months it was three years.

[–] popcap200@lemmy.ml 21 points 10 months ago (1 children)

A new Ahoy video dropped recently!

[–] sebinspace@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

!RemindMe 6 months

[–] axefaire@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

MFW creators take the time to make better content instead of dumping out weekly garbage

Worthikids. Bigtop Burger is great.

At least yours posts. I've gotten into the bad habit of subscribing to dudes weeks or months before they fuck off into the nether never to be seen again.

[–] AToM_exe@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Summoning Salt.

[–] je_skirata@lemmy.today 8 points 10 months ago

I'm sad every time I find a well-made video, want to subscribe, then discover the video is two years old and the channel never uploaded anything else.

[–] tslnox@reddthat.com 8 points 9 months ago

Captain Disillusion

So long waiting, but the content is absolutely top tier.

[–] BreakDecks@lemmy.ml 7 points 9 months ago

This is why you should follow hundreds to thousands of niche, mostly-inactive YouTubers. Every day you'll get a couple new videos that only you and 17 other people will ever see, with content unlike anything anyone else is making, and if you're lucky the video might even be good too.

This was Mitten Squad. RIP you magnificent bastard

Engineer Guy went years between ~~books~~ uploads. I had to do a double take when he came up in my feed a few months ago.

History Oversimplified fans be like:

[–] omega_x3@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

6 months would be an improvement

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

I'm a fan of the video game historian. I wish it was only 6 months between videos

[–] baatliwala@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Vsauce, the YT shorts he puts out aren't enough

[–] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

hbomberguy - releases a 6hr epic every 6 months.

[–] late_night@sopuli.xyz 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Gosu-sama, who makes Minecraft tutorials. These are some of my favorite videos even though there are only like 6 of them.
