Mine are Michael Sugrue (philosophy) and hasoyi (asian music mixtapes).
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.
TotalBiscuit :(
Hopefully heaven has a fov slider…
Epic
RIP in peace.
Epic Rap Battles of History isn’t exactly dead but they don’t post content nearly as much has they used to. And there are some bona-fide classics on there worth watching again and again.
Eppppcrppbttttlsffffhstooooorrrry
Begin!
They started a career doing advertising work for niche businesses. The Chuck Testa ad was their doing.I was mistaken
Wikipedia disagrees with you about chuck testa. That advertising was done by comedians Rhett & Link.
Wait you’re RIGHT! Good fact check, I didn’t realize Rett&Link was a different group. I said some straight up disinfo there
Loved Chuck Norris vs abe Lincoln. “I gotta bucket full of my head and I’m about to make it raaaiiin”
There’s a new one coming this weekend!
Every Frame a Painting… Come back to us
That channel isn’t dead? He hasn’t uploaded a video this year, but he uploaded a number of videos in the 2 years before, after the 7 year gap.
Hbomberguy
New video is about to drop real soon. 4.5 hour version is already on patron. Final version will probably be even a bit longer
Jenna Marbles, it’s been like 6 years since she stopped. Her videos are lots of fun though.
Hell yeah!
Oh, my wife was a fan of hers. What happened to her channel??
She got called out for doing blackface around summer of 2020 after the death of George Floyd and she put an apology video out saying she’s going to take accountability by going on an indefinite hiatus. She’s followed through with that, the apology seemed sincere.
Ah that’s too bad. But good onher for taking accountability. Hardly anyone does that anymore.
She retired after some stuff resurfaced.
PhotonicInduction
I aint ‘avin it.
Man what an incredible trip that channel was.
Back in the day there was a whole slew of crackpots (in the best way). There was another who took the washing machine crown from PhotonicInduction, went by the name Aussie50. Used to love his content but he very sadly passed away quite some time ago (I won’t go into details out of respect).
These days the crazy backyard scientist vibe on YouTube has nearly dried up. So glad we still have StyroPyro.
I want to go back.
We still have NileRed I suppose, he does some outrageous shit on his NileBlue channel sometimes. BackyardScientist hasn’t uploaded in ages either.
BackyardScientist is on William Osman’s second channel almost every video, sometimes they’re doing crazy stuff there. Nile and Kevin (BackyardScientist) are also on a podcast with Osman called Safety Third.
Kevin also has a series on Sauce+, Osman’s premium video service.
Though, the closest to Photonic is definitely styropyro.
Allen Pan still puts out something amusing once in a while.
I miss the days of 3 minutes of insanity. Now every video is 25 minutes, and it’s all personality driven. It’s turned into regular TV.
We need a classic YouTube type site back again where people share shit for the fun of sharing. Monetization killed the platform.
I miss photonic
He probably got killed by some of the shit he did.
Nah.
He got married around the time of the videos drying up. It’s likely his wife said “you’re a family man now, time to cut down on the Volts and videos”
I still stay subscribed, just in case the photonic power is switched back on.
You sayin’ ‘e done popped hisself?
totalbisquit, though more out of respect than rewatching
I recently re-watched a few episodes of Lord of the Arena and Shoutcraft. Good stuff :'^(
Hello Internet
Technically a podcast, but I listened to the YouTube version for whatever reason and occasionally go back for my favorite episodes.

There’s been a lot to come out where Grey wasn’t the best in a lot of business dealings/situations. For instance, Nebula would have been a lot worse if Grey was still in charge.
However, even with that, it is surprising how slow moving this self proclaimed efficiency except is.
That was an interesting watch, thanks for sharing! I had a laugh when he said the Flaggy Flag rebels now have control of the subreddit.
I agree with your frustration about how the podcast ended. I get that listeners weren’t owed anything and that it was a very Grey way to go, but it just felt rude. At least we got an official announcement when Cortex said Grey was going on hiatus (and one that every HI listener knew how to interpret), but the lack of videos on his main channel over the last year is just plain odd.
Nevertheless, I hope this is all simply Grey being impolite and not, like, health problems or anything.
I listened for a while but really fell off the more I realized that CGP grey is kind of an idiot.
Technoblade never dies! Tom Scott came back, so I was right staying.
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.
Ozzy man reviews is not dead
I didn’t say Ozzy Man Reviews was a dead channel. Ozzy’s last video was 6 days ago. Previous to that July 9, June 24 and June 15. I would call those gaps in uploads.
I don’t think I’ve ever unsubscribed from someone or a channel just because they stopped posting. Like you said, it costs nothing, and if they’re not posting it’s not like their lack of posts is cluttering anything. Then if they ever do come back, I’ll be one of the first to know.
Exactly.
even if there is a gap in content from a month
A month, wow… Even three months I consider a very healthy schedule.

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
Where will i go for vi’s videos? Are they on the Internet Archive?
OK, so I did a bit more digging and apparently she moved all her videos to Vimeo last year: https://vimeo.com/vihart
The whimsy lives on!
(Moot as it might be given the above, I’m not sure how to use the Internet Archive to get at old videos. I did try, and managed to get at her old profile, but clicking through to videos doesn’t work properly. There may be a knack to it that I don’t yet know.)
Jenny Nicholson
CommunityChannel
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.
What kind of videos are those monthly ones?
The format is her just talking to the camera. Unedited, the patreon supporters vote on the topic, but she still does preparation and research on the subject to present. Usually at least 45 minutes each and there’s 105 of them now
The last five topics have been:
Short-lived fads & failed "next big thing"s
Halcy-con (the fan memorial convention for the Star Wars cruise hotel thing)
Tier-Ranking Fish
Hunger Games Knockoff Dystopian
Revisiting Old Fandoms
Oh nice that’s exactly the kind of Jenny I want, I’ll check out her Patreon.
Not on YouTube.
They actually are. She just has the videos delisted to enforce the paywall. It’s better then using youtube’s pay model
but can’t archive it :/
Her YouTube channel, which I would use as a measure of her activity, is only seeing videos posted every once in a while to a point where it could be treated as dead.
Well, there’s new stuff on the site if you want it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Is Jenny Nicholson’s channel dead? She just…posts like one 4 hour video a year.
It isn’t really alive.
Mitten Squad. Guy popularized challenge runs with his fallout and elder scrolls playthroughs, and his deadpan delivery gets me every time. Unfortunately passed away after a long battle with alcoholism. I miss that dude. I don’t think he realized how much light he brought the world.
I fully agree, I was devastated when I learned what happened, he used to be my go-to for when I needed a good laugh after a hard day. I’ll still go back and watch his videos, I just wish he could have gotten the help he needed
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.
