what are your YT/streaming genres of choice?

I really love video essays and more long format videos - these have been generating a whole ton of drama (calling it drama feels dismissive even but IDK what else to call it while being concise) lately with Internet Historian and James Somerton so that's a rabbit hole I fell down into recently.
Like others I love cozy gaming, the only streams per se I watch are of cozy games - very little chaos and calm vibes.
When my panic disorder and anxiety were really bad during the pandemic I did watch a lot of lawn mowing and bonsai videos!
I also watch a lot of sewing/crafting to do future projects (that I never end up actually doing)

Oh there's soooo many good video essayists. Yes, YouTuber, give me a five hour video on a TV show I've never watched. Perfect to sleep to or have in the background.

yes absolutely love those five hour lectures on crap i've never heard of and didn't care about before starting the video

anybody got any good recommendations for specific vids like that??? I need some for background noise

You ever watch a hard-working individual clean a really filthy rug?

It's strangely fascinating!

i've been getting way too into retrospective/deep dives of things i enjoy lately... but when i just want something on for noise it's usually some history stuff or expedition unknown.

...but then i just end up watching josh gates be excited 'cause he's cute

I really like having long video essays on in the background, like Jenny Nicholson, hbomberguy, defunctland, etc. Love theme park content!

I recently watched a video where a guy was using this bladed tool to 'shave' and old carpet and make it look new. It was so satisfying, let me try to find the video.
