I also enjoy videos that involve geography or travel blogging, forgot to mentiion that.

Had a lot of replies to this, thank you for the recommendations everyone! Feel free to keep suggesting more as well, the ones I've had so far are exactly what I've been looking for.

@Violet Patricia Taxxon is very good imo. She does a wide range of topics including niche video games, film, media analysis, and music theory. The Marble Blast one, although it's an hour long, was surprisingly engaging considering I've never played any of the games discussed.

@Violet Snapcube/Penny Parker is good. Lets player and other stuff doer.

@Violet

- TechWorld with Nana, she's an excellent educator and presenter
- Contrapoints / Natalie Wynn, not everyone's cup of tea but I always enjoy her videos on cultural and internet shit
- I don't recall individual names but the Charm (charm.sh) youtube channel has some enjoyable stuff, mostly golang CLI related

@Violet if you're into factory / sim-management style games, KatherineOfSky is worth checking out. her content skews towards 1hr videos rather than 10-20min though.

you may also enjoy RailCowGirl, who streams videos of her driving a train through the Norwegian countryside, either with just ambient audio or with Q&A chat.
