I think that's down to audience. Niche to the terminally online? Probably not. Niche to your average person? Yeah probably.

Then all of youtube is niche except maybe mrbeast

I'd say Mrbeat would be pretty niche in China or something like that.

2

I forgot he blew up in the last couple years. Been watching his channel since it wasn't very well known.

20

Dude made a 2 hours video on the "OOF" sound. (And it was glorious)

The meme is just as good without the word niche. You don't need to enforce meme accuracy on the internet. Everyone will survive if we talk about YouTubers who aren't niche

4

you: HBomberguy is niche
people who would not know he existed were it not for his plagiarism video: lmao no he's not

15

have you been getting the cancer vids too?

i was worried the algorythm had caught something i hadnt.

and it's youtubers i had never previously watched

lemm.ee

Ahoy is like this. His videos are awesome though.

29

Whenever LEMMiNO does post though, the quality is so high that I'm astounded he finished it as quickly as he did.

5

I honestly prefer this tbh. Shows that the passion comes from making the videos they want rather than grinding to survive

24

Yeah, a channel I follow has grown and pivoted from "making a video when they have a topic they care about", which was still quite frequent, to "scheduled biweekly videos on a topic interesting to the widest audience" and it's really killed the magic.

Like, their choice and I wish them well, but it's not for me anymore.

MFW creators take the time to make better content instead of dumping out weekly garbage

21

I have so many questions about the Bigtopverse after watching the finale. Most of all being are the Demon Lords Frasier and Niles canon to that universe.

2

At least yours posts. I've gotten into the bad habit of subscribing to dudes weeks or months before they fuck off into the nether never to be seen again.

10

I'm sad every time I find a well-made video, want to subscribe, then discover the video is two years old and the channel never uploaded anything else.

8

This is why you should follow hundreds to thousands of niche, mostly-inactive YouTubers. Every day you'll get a couple new videos that only you and 17 other people will ever see, with content unlike anything anyone else is making, and if you're lucky the video might even be good too.

7

Came here to see if anyone mentioned this. That one hurt. Only knew him via his videos, but I miss him. RIP you magnificent bastard indeed.

Captain Disillusion

So long waiting, but the content is absolutely top tier.

I'm a fan of the video game historian. I wish it was only 6 months between videos

Gosu-sama, who makes Minecraft tutorials. These are some of my favorite videos even though there are only like 6 of them.

Melodysheep x LEMMiNO was a fever dream come true.

I can see why Melodysheep videos take so long though. I'm surprised they don't take longer.

Engineer Guy went years between books uploads. I had to do a double take when he came up in my feed a few months ago.

4

His amazing "The man who tried to fake an element" video is what really got me interested in chemistry

1

Peach cobbler just used up his yearly upload token on a fellow history YouTubers scandal 🥲

3

Not a "niche" youtuber, but that's how I feel about CoryxKenshin. Dude posts a video and then bounces for a year.

3

What happened to you "By Default"? You can't just drop 3 absolutely amazing videos in the span of a month, then enter complete radio silence for 4(+???) Months! My heart can't take it...

2

Me waiting for Vhyrro to put up another Neovim video. It doesn't take too long but I hate waiting ugh

2

But he used make way more videos. Then he suddenly vanished. Still wondering what he's doing.

1

The legend, pinguefy. Posts absolute gold every half a year or so

1

These kind of creators may post on curiosity stream/Nebula (I forgot the exact platform) as well, where I think they might be more consistent

1

That reminds me: TheEpicNate315 released another video yesterday. Gonna have to find some time here.

In six months you could have made your own fucking content...

Let content makers work at their own pace instead of at the mercy of the algorithm for fucks sake, please.

If you love the content, please give a shit about their work-to-life-balance.

Chasing the algorithm and "staying relevant" is literally why most of youtube has become so boring and anodyne.
