Alfie Aesthetics.

Not technically dead, but I'd love more uploads.

[–] kaklerbitmap@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

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.

I really miss Jack Stauber.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

I'm surprised no one mentioned Comicstorian. He would do long form reads of comic books and he would like to act out quotes. Right when he was becoming huge on youtube he randomly crashed into a tree and died. 🤷‍♂️ life is Strange.

BlackMetalVegan: vegan cooking with a twist you might not guess…OK it's in the name you guessed it

RubberNinja. I miss Ross' offbeat sense of humor and his collabs with EgoRaptor.

Been 6 years since the last upload, so it seems well and truly dead.

Another one is HelloImAPizza, who became known for his compilation of PSAs across the world, and for his high-quality presentation of the matter. Been a year since he uploaded and tends to go several years without new content, so mayne he'll come back some day. Dunno.

[–] AstroLightz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Technoblade and Mitten Squad are the 2 I keep. I miss TB's humor and MS's Fallout & Skyrim challenge videos.

[–] vfscanf@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 4 hours ago

Twin Perfect. I love their Silent Hill content. I was hoping on a review of the Silent Hill 2 remake, but nothing so far.

[–] paultimate14@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Kruggsmash. He's mostly (maybe entirely?) A Dwarf Fortress creator. I first found him just looking for basic tutorials of how to play the game, but soon started watching his series where he uses the game as a platform for storytelling. He takes the procedurally generated stuff and fleshes it out. He voiced characters and made incredibly charming drawings for important scenes.

Camelworks. Rest in peace- the channel is dead because he passed away earlier this year. Mostly did content dicing into Elder Scrolls games, occasionally Fallout and other games.

Is It a Good Idea to Microwave This? - classic old school YouTube, from the days when it waa just high school and college students fucking around. Just 3 dudes with a camera, an extra microwave, and someone's parents cool enough to let them do dumb stuff. They eventually stopped as life caused the 3 of them to grow apart.

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.

[–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Kent carlevi - easily the best guitar videos on yt. The fact that he made them almost 20 years ago is mind boggling.

[–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 14 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

totalbisquit, though more out of respect than rewatching

[–] graynk@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 7 hours ago

I recently re-watched a few episodes of Lord of the Arena and Shoutcraft. Good stuff :'^(

Every Frame a Painting....... Come back to us

[–] MissingInteger@lemmy.zip 4 points 20 hours ago

Every Frame a Painting

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.

[–] Hazmatastic@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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.

If anyone is curious

[–] norra@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] Muffi@programming.dev 2 points 15 hours ago

randytaylor69 for a long time - and then suddenly she started streaming regularly and it is a hilarious drunken shit show every time

[–] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 36 points 1 day ago (6 children)

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.

Jenna Marbles, it's been like 6 years since she stopped. Her videos are lots of fun though.

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 3 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Oh, my wife was a fan of hers. What happened to her channel??

[–] DrWorm@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 2 points 13 hours ago

Ah that's too bad. But good onher for taking accountability. Hardly anyone does that anymore.

[–] pahlimur@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

She retired after some stuff resurfaced.

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

[–] chtk@feddit.nl 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Not a dead channel though. 4 hour videos just take a lot of time to produce. The same goes for ContraPoints, Münecat, and Noah Caldwell-Gervais

[–] la508@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

I don't know who those other people are, but I was just joking about the fact it's years between videos.
