Kel Lauren - They make videos on graphic design, but I find them really entertaining, even as someone who has no interest in being a graphic designer. Every time I watch their videos, I just feel instantly relaxed. I don't think they've been posting as much lately, but they have a great & unique backlog of vids to go through! Something very different from what other YT'ers are doing. Ashley Norton - If you like Mic's Mike, Ashley's content is in in a similar fun, pop-culture commentary vein. Hers is more straightforward talking with less fun gimmicks (no wall-webs like Mike does), but she's still very funny and compassionate in her approach to topics. She covers nostalgic topics like old bandom drama and 2000s/early 2010s TV stars/shows. I like that she seems to focus on what she's interested in, instead of recycling the same discourse/hot topics that the algorithm pushes. Mila Tequila - She does a lot of longform retrospectives on 2000s phenomenons, so they're really good for putting on and listening to while you're painting, cleaning, etc. I also appreciate that she doesn't have the specific type of boring, monotone, video-essay voice that can make a lot of people zone out! Hers feels more conversational. Casey Aonso & UnCarley - Both do some fun pop culture tier list ranking vids that I think Mike's Mic enjoyers would like! UnCarley does some videos similar to his style with wall webs & Casey's whole channel is great. ModernGurlz & Mina Le - Have some great fashion content! Modern Gurlz has some really interesting trend analysis videos & Mina Le does great interesting commentary on fashion history. As for individual videos, this one had some refreshing relatability & charm that I feel like I haven't seen in a hot second on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ZFhA26rPNy4?si=d9bmyekxAEv0zC5s

Currently getting through Dan Olson/Folding Idea’s latest video. All of his stuff is great and thoroughly well researched. Some of my fave videos of his: Tuca & Bertie, Flat Earth, and *his critique* of the Nostalgia Critic's *critique* of The Wall by Pink Floyd - his videos on NFTs and The Metaverse are fantastic too In no particular order, here's some more YouTubers I'm subbed to: (would love to write up a paragraph for each of them but don't want to take up too much space!)

On youtube

Death By Thrifting-Vlogs about thrifting and some other stuff. Kendall Hoyt-she recently released a series about dating on NYC. She also does stuff with outfits, vlogs, etc. I started watching ‘cause I really like her camera presence. This one isn’t necessarily slow, but Jules Dapper. She makes videos about random stuff but she makes you just as invested as she is on the topic. She’s also very funny. She has the video The Most Mysterious Illness in History talking about the fear people developed when glass had just started to become a popular material, where rich people thought they were made of glass and would shatter. I also like Let’s Bully Hans Christian Andersen, where she talks about what a weird guy he was lol. These are from her series Dapper History but she has other series on her channel as well. Lola Sebastian also makes great videos about miscellaneous stuff. I particularly liked her last video Stupid Sexy Tennis Movies. But the one that made me care for her as a creator, was her Anthony Bourdain video: Anthony Bourdain: A Love Song. (She stood out, as before that, I didn’t care for Anthony Bourdain at all but I watched her whole video).

Tbh, i mostly hate the re-rec feature

Maybe this isn’t so much a fix for staff, but I feel like the reposting of things has gotten a bit lame. I don’t want the “Everyone” feed to be the same post 20 times with nothing added, especially when the thing being re-rec’d isn’t even a real reccomendation in the first place. I like this app because it is different than Instagram and Twitter and tumblr and the like. I feel like people are trying to interact similarly to those other apps here. I feel like we are all drifting back into creating the same social media AGAIN. My vote would be to remove the feature entirely, but I see how it can be used thoughtfully

I make jewelry!

I like to make jewelry that would fulfill my inner child’s wishlist! I also sell the jewelry and I like to do silly photoshoots and edit the pictures to show it off. Like tow arts in one
