Would love to see what niche/under appreciated creators are out there! Also what your favorite videos are of theirs!

Mine is this guy who creates songs based on Age of Empires 2 SFX and content creators/pros. So he's SUPER niche and will probably never become big, but I still adore him.

Catchy song made with AOE2 sfx

A totally legit love song about how much a pro named MBL loves another player called Hoang.

A content creator named T90 told a story about how he got absolutely rinsed in a game, and it was memorialized as a banger.

So yeah! Show me your tiny content creators that you adore!

Me! I have less than 1000 subs and I enjoy most of my own videos! I put lots of time and effort into editing them to make them as silly and entertaining as I could while also remembering not to push myself too hard because I’m throwing my stuff into the wind.

Park'd and Rec'd, a disc golf channel that covers all the Charlotte NC area disc golf courses. Funny guys that aren't pro level good, so you can see how a decent disc golfer would play a given course:

Right on! Perfect little niche content creator. A channel like that is probably great for a new player cause they probably can review courses for a much more sane level.

Found Row's channel from a similar thread years ago: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo6n98yEksXx0kHT4TA8_hQ

This guy does runs of the Pokemon Stadium games blindfolded. And I don't fully know why, but it's just super chill and enjoyable to watch these videos casually.

He's right at 1000 now. Though I don't see any recent uploads, hope he's not done.

I listen to the Tin Dog Podcast sometimes when I'm making breakfast. Who stuff including Big Finish, Blake's 7, and other sci-fi.

2k videos and 500 subs?

Dear goodness that man is dedicated.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Haha! I hadn't thought about that. Maybe his listenership uses RSS. I miss RSS podcasts.

He's got 3000 subscribers, but I really love Brother Jauffre. This video lives rent free in my head: https://youtu.be/ERfhHK8zBdE

He just makes absurd little videos about whatever. If you like silly nonsensical things (which I do), he'll be great for you.

Boys will be boys got me giggling pretty hard.

I will accept 3k subs, but you’re on thin ice!

Ippei Tambaataa

Just over 2k now, which is great but a bit surprising given the content. It's improvised electronic audio generated entirely with a Korg MS20 rev2 synthesiser from around 1979.

It's not everyone's cuppa, but the synth is a type that is similar to the world famous Minimoog. Even so, it's about as far away from that as possible in terms of sound. If the Moog is smooth and creamy, the Korg is knarly and vicious.

What makes it interesting is it's ability to do unusual things. It has more in common in this sense with modular systems than the Minimoog.

Ok it's nuts, but also fascinating and to me and two thousand or so other weirdos, captivating.

If you like it, I recommend large speakers to really experience the depth of sound from this classic machine. Just be careful with the volume.

Thanks for the downvotes I guess? Not sure what's wrong with my suggestions...
