Obviously opinion based. Mine are...
Over:
Lilly Singh/Superwoman- I enjoy some of her videos, but most of it involves impersonating her parents plus a lot of she doesn't even show. She just talks and it can be boring. I'm not the one who hates on popular YouTubers just because they're popular, but I don't get the hype. The fact she gets her talk show before Rhett and Link or Ryan Higa baffling.
PewDiePie- Meh. Again, don't get the hype. What makes him different from all the Let's Players who came BEFORE him?
Under:
PowerPyx/PS4Trophies- Two of the best trophy hunter guides out there, but to be fair, they're well appreciated on the trophy hunting community so perhaps underrated isn't the right term, but they're literally the first to come to mind aside from the other two I'll mention.
The Warp Zone- Haven't made a video in awhile, but I really love their content.
The Golden Moustache- Because they're French, they don't get much exposure in NA. But if you love CollegeHumor, well this is it. I think they're better than them actually.

Are you quoting him or are you telling me? I'm just not a fan is all. |

I’d sooner take Yogscast over Pewdiepie.
And Jenny Nicholson is the greatest.

Athlean-X is probably the best fitness guy, even if some of the stuff he prescribes a lot of people wouldn't be able to do in a commercial gym with actual people around you (Calgary Barbell is another guy I like to watch, but he's more for powerlifters... of which he is the current Canadian champion).
Jesse Cox is a fun gamer to watch simply for his Scary Game Squad where he and a bunch of his youtube pals play horror games together (often with some drinking involved).
Tabletop Tactics is great if you love Warhammer 40k, great group of guys with amazing back and forth banter during the games.
Mitten Squad is really funny because he likes to play Fallout/Halo/Skyrim with all these absurd stipulations (like Can You Beat Fallout 3 as a Baby?). He's actually a really good player, but it's his commentary that keeps you entertained.
Then there are times I get sucked into the WatchMojo/WhatCulture/etc Top 10 rabbit hole...
RoosterTeeth and Achievement Hunter are two that I used to be fans of, but then they started catering their jokes and whatnot to the younger crowd (like SCREAMING REALLY LOUD INTO THE MIC or spending 10 minutes talking about farting into someone's eye... HAHAHA too funny, guys!).
Beyond them for overrated, I dunno. I usually don't give people more than a video or two before I scoff and never watch them again.

Ryan was always the best! The episodes where he was emcee their Minecraft "games" were always a good time. Jeremy was always pretty solid too. But Michael just got louder, Gavin got dumber, Jack stopped caring even when it was still good, and Geoff only tried half the time (and the other half would be given the win because of Michael and Jack actively helping him). I haven't watched in a good two plus years, though. Also, if you haven't check out the Scary Games Squad. I like them a lot and they are basically a group of Ryans all trying to beat horror games. |

I hate “Betting Buddies” so much. The most recent one I watched was one of their Thief Simulator videos. Ryan breaking into houses with Lil’ J as the devil on his shoulder: fucking hysterical. |

I'm not really aware of The Discourse about youtubers, but I really dig Lindsey Ellis' channel.

On film?
Underrated...
Pulsing Cinema - I'm not sure if these qualify as reviews, but he does have some interesting opinions.
Marya E. Gates - She can be aggressive with her feminist views. Otherwise, she's fun. Warning: She doesn't like Tarkovsky.

the gist of my lineup: Media discourse (I can listen to these guys all day): Jenny Nicholson and Lindsey Ellis for general media Anthony Fantano for music Gaming: gameranx for reviews and news, Girlfriend Reviews for shits and giggles Trailers: A24 / Movieclips Trailers As far as influencers go, I'm still subbed to Grace Helbig for her award show fashion reviews and I'm subbed to the youtube channel for her "This Might Get" podcast with Mamrie Hart. I'm subscribed to Shane Dawson too, mostly after I discovered and fell in love with his "Shane and Friends" podcast last year (I've found that he's far more interesting to listen to than to watch--there was something about that podcast that felt rawer and more authentic than his video output). He's someone I've always been aware of and never had much time for. Now I kinda hate-watch him. I get the hate and his Jake Paul docuseries was lowkey awful in hindsight, but he's a car crash you can't look away from and no one else is doing what he's doing, and he takes long breaks between content projects so my feed is never clogged with videos from him that I don't want to watch. I also watch FBE but their content's been on the slide for a couple years now ever since they've tried to grow the brand and commercialize on it with too many damn spinoff channels to count and so much self-advertisement. That doesn't really answer the question. Ummmm my favorite influencers are Lindsay and Jenny and of course they're never going to have a fraction of the follower base that more mainstream channels enjoy because they cater to very niche interests and produce long-form essay content fairly sporadically, but within that genre they're loved so I wouldn't say they're underrated. As for overrated channels, yeah it's gotta be Pewdiepie. His let's play videos used to be a guilty pleasure of mine but ever since becoming an edgelord talking head he's just become insufferable. |

Dunno much about Youtubers. The only ones I watch regularly are RedLetterMedia, Butters the Bean (it's a cute cat) and Stephen's awards announcements. I'd say the latter two are pretty underrated!

smh at the pewdiepie hate
Underrated - Horrible Reviews. My favorite channel by far. Also I highly recommend Wow Lynch Wow! for his Twin Peaks videos.
Overrated - idk, most of them? I have absolutely no interest in a lot of the most popular channels, so I guess I'd go with all of those.

Food Wishes is my latest obsession. Even though I won't ever make lik 90% of what he cooks, he is incredibly entertaining and calming.

Food Wishes is my latest obsession. Even though I won't ever make lik 90% of what he cooks, he is incredibly entertaining and calming. I make his stuff fairly frequently. He makes cooking really easy for someone like me who needs it all spelled out. Been making a lot of his potato recipes recently to use up my supply. This one has spectacular potatoes, although the chicken is kinda blah. I've tried making just the potatoes, but it really needs that chicken fat to come alive. This one is really great too, it really soaks up the flavor of all the juice and broth. I use other cooking channels too when I don't want boring European food, but nobody else makes it so easy. Edit: I'm curious how much money he makes for shamelessly pimping the cayenne growing industry. |
