Daniel Naroditsky, he was able to explain chess in a way that was very easy to understand and made playing much less intimidating

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Brain4Breakfast - Late countryball youtuber. Loved his dry humour, sketches and takes. Notes on Nationalism helped me a lot when the internet just became common and information overload became a thing.
Seth Everman still makes me laugh
Alantutorial
Apollo Legend and Camelworks. Two great young fellows who went too soon 😞
Meh. Apollo wasted time defending a self described white supremacist for facing the consequences of being a self described white supremacist. That kind of guy gets no sympathy from me.
Freelance Astronauts. Just a bunch of friends having fun, from the era of SomethingAwful let's play forums. I can highly recommend their Zelda and Mario Multiplayer and Oblivion videos
Afrotechmods. Straightforward electronics tutorials that demonstrate both the right and wrong ways to build circuits. Abundant information, occasional explosions.
That is a great channel name.
Not sure why he chose that particular name, he's whiter than Arbor Day.
Oh. Wait. Bad name. Bad channel name!
LasagnaCat
AgentJR. Imo the did the absolute best silent hill walkthroughs and honestly was very pleasant to watch.
At some point they finally found themselves and transitioned. While it was beautiful to see the content creation of obviously took ar backseat. All perhaps was just incompatible with their current living conditions. Either way they're uploads are negligible these days. Really sad.
I hope theyre doing well.
Knuckleheads (I'll have to link it because it's too vague and other garbage shows up in search these days https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu8t9UfJcTxlnMyu9uBcbTQ ) watch it every so often when we don't know what to watch and want something "light" and short.
I have however DLed all the episodes already, as I was concerned it may end up getting removed since Google is doing stupid shit.
Artisinal Cheese -banger philosophy essays, fate unknown
Ian Kung - sketch comedy, went silent around when his friend and comedy partner got hard-canceled.
Mia Cole -quintessential gen z essayist, got on meds (which helps a lot of creatives seperate from algorithm traps) and moved on to an offline short film niche
There's quite a few who do eventually return though. This has been a good year for it
The Delray Misfits fortunately unfortunately
The Game Chasers. Main guy handling the channel, being part of the show and editing ended up passing away from Cancer recently.
Cullt Moo, which is a real shame. I would really like more diners of Destiny.
Dani and probably more but having unneeded subscriptions doesn't bother me.
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.
Samm Sheperd
RIP
Twin Perfect. I love their Silent Hill content. I was hoping on a review of the Silent Hill 2 remake, but nothing so far.
Kruggsmash for sure. I'm not sure if his channel is officially dead, but uploads got further and further apart and it's been months since I've seen any new Dwarf Fortress content. It's an extra shame because the quality of his content was only getting better imho. I've rewatched my favorites lots of times but I really miss the excitement of his monthly videos.
Jenna Marbles. I miss her so much and I think her leaving really changed the wholesome face of YouTube. I miss her content.
I also couldn't ever get myself to remove unus anus from my subscribed list even if I can't view it. It got me through the early months of the pandemic. Those two goofy youtubers helped me keep my sanity.
Brodie Robertson - talks about Linux + FOSS Tsoding Daily - greatest programmer IMO
