she has a very specific sense of humor that is just so endlessly funny and she is so candid and real w her audience that it really feels like she’s your best friend and her videos are just her facetiming you at 3am. along w her funny videos she also occasionally drops really informative, philosophical videos mostly about art history that i find super interesting.

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!)
