Hello Internet
Technically a podcast, but I listened to the YouTube version for whatever reason and occasionally go back for my favorite episodes.

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

Technoblade never dies! Tom Scott came back, so I was right staying.
Alantutorial
Does MountainDog1 count? The channel uploads reposts all the time but no new content.
RIP John Meadows, I had/have the utmost respect for him.
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.

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.
Jenny Nicholson

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.

Kent carlevi - easily the best guitar videos on yt. The fact that he made them almost 20 years ago is mind boggling.
PBS Idea Channel. Such a good channel.
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!
I got to meet the host once. He was a really great guy in person.
Here's an idea...
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 recently found out Katherineofsky has died but her factorio malls and videos influenced the community so much...

randytaylor69 for a long time - and then suddenly she started streaming regularly and it is a hilarious drunken shit show every time
Baremetalhw
He used to custom paint and plate hotwheels and then one day 5 years ago he uploaded his last video. Wouldn't be surprised if he passed from covid or something like that
I miss old Rooster Teeth. I rarely go back to it, but I go on a little watch spree every few years.
I'd also include Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games. Incredible channel that was run by the man himself. I've learned so much about the developer side of things from his channel. Sadly he ended it a few years ago because he felt like he was able to talk about pretty much everything he wanted to touch on. And he had to get working on Kirby Air Riders.
A couple other small ones would be:
Scykoh- Made a series called Glitchfest where he would break down and show off significant bugs/glitches in games. Similar to A+Start.
Jasper- A guy who broke down how Nintendo created certain elements of their games. Very informative as well, but he only made a handful of videos and then just randomly stopped a few years ago.
Sp0ntanius- Musician who made creatively edited Zelda music covers. He actually still uploads the occasional video. But he often doesn't upload for several years at a time.
If you liked old RT, give The Regulation Podcast a shot. It is Geoff and Gavin having a golden renaissance thanks to Andrew Panton.

Sethbling comes to mind
Early in YouTubeland (circa 2008-2010) there was a user called AntiConsumer. Content was all taken down and the profile disappeared.
I'd love to know where to find some of that material now. There were clips from documentaries, ads, lectures and more. Might have seen my first bits of Michael Parenti there. Im pretty sure that my firat exposure to Wesley Clark's "7 countries in 5 years" talk was from there.
For years I was subscribed to this one guy who made a couple of videos talking about his struggles with panic attacks and agoraphobia. I found his channel at exactly the right time when I was struggling with the same problems. It was really comforting to hear someone talk about things that were so familiar to me when I felt like I had a unique problem. He seemed like a really cool and interesting guy that I could relate to in a lot of ways, not only his mental health issues. He liked music, movies, and video games.
His videos were uploaded mostly between 2007 and 2009. I think his very last video was uploaded in like 2010. They were like a time capsule to the mid 2000s. And he only had about 15 - 20 videos, most of which were pretty short. He was in his late 20s or something, so he'd be in his 40s or so by now.
I still think about that dude every now and then, I hope he's doing alright. His couple of videos had an impact on me during a difficult time in my life. I remained subscribed for about 10 years even though I knew he wouldn't upload again. Mostly out of respect and for the nostalgia.
