Top Five Epic YouTube Genres and Channels You May Not Have Heard Of

YouTube is an eccentric and wonderful place. And it is becoming increasingly hard for new channels to rise up and gain subscribers because of how hard it is to get noticed. With channels such as Pewdiepie and T-Series having 100s of millions of subscribers, smaller channels often fall to the wayside, especially when they are in genres that appeal to people outside of those who are attracted to YouTube. 

Today we will be looking at a few genres you may not have discovered that you may enjoy. I myself use YouTube, but I usually subscribe to channels I enjoy and don't really check anything else. Whenever I see something interesting, I check it out, and I think this is a nice way to watch what you enjoy in moderation and not get sucked in to endless strings of uninteresting videos. Without further ado, let's get into another epic list. Did I miss anything? Comment below.



5: Animated History Channels

I am one of those people who doesn't go crazy over history, but enjoys a moderate amount. I enjoy watching videos on history, but I get bored when the frame just switches between random paintings at irregular intervals. So how do I solve this? 

I check out animation channels such as Oversimplified. Not only does the well-done animation (with some comedy thrown in) keep me interested, but because animating takes so long, new videos only come out every month or so. This means that history is not always getting shoved down my throat, but it also means that the animators have enough time to do detailed 20-or-so minute videos rather than brief and unsatisfying ones. Just a nice, educational bit of lazy time.



4: Fanbase Channels

Most major fanbases have a often-undiscovered YouTube subcommunity. For books such as Harry Potter, or TV shows such as Survivor, YouTube is a good place to see the opinions of others that make you see things in a new way and keep you engaged in all your favorite things. 
The reason I like MovieFlame is because despite being predominantly focused on Harry Potter, it also occasionally incorporates other things in, such as a Star Wars or Percy Jackson video here and there. 
You can find subcommunities of fanbases all over YouTube, and for the biggest fan bases (such as Harry Potter) there are even subcommunities... of the subcommunities, such as listing channels, summarizing channels and sometimes channels only focused on one part of the book, movie, etc. For example; you can find channels only focused on a particular HP house. Wow!


3: Funny Music 
It is exceptionally hard to find any good music, especially when looking for comedic relief instead of some rando shrieking about their ex-boyfriend or rapping senselessly about whatever. So it is a true gem when you find an artist, band, etc. who actually writes something funny that actually cheers you up. 
And when I say it's a complete gem, I mean it. I have only found one such channel, namely ERB. Their songs are hilarious and a good way to study for that one History test about someone who you care little about and find uninteresting. With raps such as Donald Trump vs Joe Biden, Count Dracula vs Vlad the Impaler and Adolph Hitler vs Darth Vader. There is a small bit of swearing, but a cool channel to check out. Also, has anyone else uncovered any such gems? Pls comment below to do your good deed of the day.


2: Soccer/Football Channels
      
There are a lot of soccer channels. And most of them are just some rather overweight Geordie ranting on about how Mike Astley should be sued for disrespecting the 'Greatest Football Club in World History'. But it may surprise you to find that a few of them are actually quite good. 
Above are the four I am subscribed to, OneFootball (who do daily news among other things), 442oons (who do Football Animations) and HITC Sport and HITC Sevens (who do lists, predictions, etc.). Just nice channels to check out for any reasonable and level-headed soccer fans out there.


1:  Storytime Animation Channels
  
Taking top spot; storytime animation channels. The three above channels all know each other and often invite one another to do some drawing battle, all of which are enjoyable. But most of the time they just sit in their closets in pajamas and make animations about something that happened to them. All funny and unique, these channels are always perfect to brighten up your day. 
These charismatic creators have earned a bit more publicity than most on this list, with James (TheOdd1sOut) appearing on Mr Beast's channel among others, while Jaiden (Jaiden Animations) has appeared on even more channels, having been on not only Mr Beast's channel but Pewdiepie's himself! Despite this, they do not get as much credit as they deserve, with James (Odd1sout), Jaiden (Jaiden Animations) and Adam (SomethingElseYT) only having 16,1, 9,1 and 3,8 million subscribers respectively.


Thanks for returning! I will try to post 5 times a week now that the holidays are upon us, so please subscribe to the blog to get notified on that. Please feel free to leave any queries, requests, etc. below, share my blog with all of your friends and family and I'll see you next time. Noah (;0)>

A Revised History of Ekrizdis, the Evilest Wizard Ever

Image
JK Rowling has written a few brief pieces about the evil Ekrizdis, but has barely scraped the surface of this loathsome character, and has left a lot shrouded by the mists of mystery. An intriguing character, Ekrizdis is the physical form of madness and evil, and today I will attempt to erase a few of the question marks surrounding this creepy character. Firstly, let's go over the little information we have  been given.  He was a Dark inventor who was born somewhere during the fifteenth century. He was traveling the North Sea for an unknown reason when he came across a tiny island, which was basically just a big rock jutting out of the sea. There was no life there, and he decided to become the island's first inhabitant.  After casting sufficient protection charms, he created a huge fortress, which eventually became Azkaban, and resumed his experiments on Muggle sailors who unintentionally passed through his territory. He created many Dark things, most notably Dementors, before

Real Survivor: The Fox, the Bear, the Goat and the Bunny

Survivor fans such as myself are mostly familiar with certain terminology. For example, to be purpled is to be placed in the complete background of a particular editing, to the extent where you are utilized like the shelter or water well, firmly in the background of a lot of scenes without being in the forefront barring something bad happening to you, like the shelter being blown over or the well being contaminated. Perhaps the first bit of terminology that has a unique meaning is to be a goat, or someone who is used like an extra vote by another player or group of players. However, where the name "Goat" actually came from is something many fans, even hardcore ones, do not know the answer to. They would point to where someone like Ethan Zohn said it in early seasons and credit it to them. The person who actually coined this term is SurvivorSucks user sunsawed, whose article can be found here . Basically, he stated that most Survivor final fours consist of four different playe

Survivor 41 Cast: Most Similar Player - Part 2

Image
To find out my criteria, etc. please check out Part 1. Please share my post with your friends and without further ado, let's head right in. Danny McCray - Brad Culpepper  I really think Danny is going to end up having been one of the underrated players on this cast. So many people (including me) anticipated a big strong oaf who would boss challenges but portray "the emotional range of a teaspoon" to quote Hermione Granger. This was something most also thought would be true of Brad Culpepper, but both seem emotionally and mentally intelligent as well as being huge Survivor fans, and I think Danny will likely play a game similar to Brad's Game Changers performance, especially if he can survive the first post-merge vote. Naseer Muttalif - Johnathan Penner  Why he was predicted for a first boot I do not know. This prediction is looking a bit more into the future, but I definitely see at least one flip coming from Naseer. I think he will turn out as a above-par player who
