i turned off notifs for that post i made asking for the tea but ty to everyone filling me in on delicious yt drama lmao. anyway here's a list of my fav video essayists/creators on youtube that james somerton wishes he could compare himself to:

kaz rowe

mina le

captainmidnight

karolina zebrowska

khadija mbowe

bernadette banner

thomas flight

the queer kiwi

moderngurlz

amandamaryanna

tasting history with max miller

broey deschanel

alexander avila

their topics range from pure academia/fashion/art/food/film/popular culture so there's a good mix! some of them have a more sarcastic, playful approach as well, bc i like a good balance lol. all of these creators are passionate about what they talk about and actually do real research! they cite their sources properly and typically dont approach topics with a singular perspective. if they're not conducting their own research first hand, i know a few of them have proper research assistants! wild!

#a LOT of this list is made up of the fashion + film history girlies but they truly are my fav of the sub categories on yt now lol #and this isnt a full list of the youtubers i watch! but specifically youtubers that successfully accomplish what james always fails to do #james somerton #hbomberguy #todd in the shadows #youtubers

the art of being real

By    amandamaryanna           on youtube.

#be real #bereal #yotutbe #social media #app

[khizuo]

okay, here's a list of Black youtubers that I watch because why not (not gaming/mcyt, but still awesome nonetheless)

note: I am a non-Black person of color; I'm only sharing this list to encourage people who may not know of these youtubers to check them out, but Black people are welcome to critique this. If you think I shouldn't be speaking about this as a non-Black poc, I will immediately take this down.

Intelexual Media: Maybe my favorite channel at the moment, I love her so fucking much. Lexual does videos focused on history, pop culture, sexuality, Black issues, current events, and women's issues; all of which are entertaining, impeccably edited, and very informational — they clearly take a lot of research to make. I love history youtube because I'm a bit of a history nerd, and I love the topics she chooses to present, and the way she often traces a theme through time. She does discuss sexual topics and potentially triggering content, so be careful.

Khadija Mbowe: Also does a lot of videos on history and black issues, but with a more chill, casual, video essay-ish vibe than Intelexual Media. They actually put out videos at an astonishing rate considering the quality of their content. It's always in-depth, well-researched, topical, and interesting. I honestly need to catch up on their latest videos.

amandamaryanna: She makes mostly vlogs and commentary videos. Her vlogs are always beautifully shot and edited, and her commentary on all sorts of things—from Instagram to the obsession with elite colleges—is insightful to listen to.

Jade Fox: A Black lesbian creator who usually makes content centered around being lesbian, vlogs, and just general commentary. She's hilarious and down to earth and her videos are so fun to watch.

Shanspeare: They make video essays on all sorts of topics, from Lana Del Ray to linguistic discrimination. They also makes fashion videos!

Tee Noir: She's been really growing in popularity and I love it! In her words, her channel centers around "Culture, commentary, Black womanhood", and she is also queer! I love her energy and vibes.

Sensei Aishitemasu: A Black American youtuber/writer who mostly discusses Black American issues. She also produces history videos on Black American history.
