I remember following the Escapist when they transitioned to YouTube, after probably longer than a decade of hosting their own stuff on their own service. I remember seeing all these shows they had spun up, but they all had exponentially less viewership than anything with Yahtzee in it. There were movie reviews which I occasionally caught and a bunch of other content that I just didn't care for.
I tried to get into the other creators on the platform but only Yahtzee had any staying power for me. Slightly Civil War/Slightly Something Else was great too when Jack started coming in. I've been a fan of Jack's since his Red Letter Media days, when he was doing Pre-Rec with Rich Evans.
Sebastian "Frost" Ruiz's stuff has quickly gained loving fans. I recommend looking at his Cold Take ot Stuff of Legend stuff if you haven't.
I really love his 7-8 minute video essays on the gaming industry, hope he can still go do something similar.
