none of them hit the same way, but...
* Internet Shaquille. One guy, but he's smart and good.
* NYT Cooking. Sohla and Priya do things for them.
* food52. They've had a few of the BA test kitchen members on here and there.
* Babish. Rick does a show on his channel called Pruebalo.
* Mythical Kitchen. Goofier.
Then there's the people who started their own channels. Offhand:

This month, I’m not passing the bechdel test.
Coy: he used to work for Mr.Beast and quit after the ton of allegations he received which I respect. His videos are entertaining and I think he’s funny.
Mitch Marsico . Discovered because of a rec made in here. I plan on making a marathon on the videos he has very soon. I really sensed last year that people have been yearning for old YouTube and he evokes that.
Gogo Marquez: Mexican content creator. He does vlogs and has a very strong notion of who he is, which I appreciate.
AsmrNirvana: I don’t watch a ton of male asmartists but he really has the perfect voice. It’s very soft.
The only woman On this list unfortunately, for now, is Sarah Seriff. She’s been making this cute deep dives on children media. It’s so pure and I love her and the way she presents the ideas down to the concept originally imagined by the author.

Commentary/ video essays/ analysis, etc.: because these keep me from having my own opinions, prevent my brain from having wrinkles in it, and I enjoy them.
Content about current topics in general:
1. Uncarley
2. D'angelo Wallace.
3. Tee Noir.
4. Shanspeare.
5. Philosophy Tube .
6. ContraPoints.
Journalistic content/ documentaries:
1. CHUPPL.
2. Defunctland.
Content primarily centered around movies and shows:
1. Yhara Zayd.
2. elle literacy.
3. Trin Lovell.
4. Friendly Space Ninja.
Content centered around fashion:
HauteLeMode.
Booktubers: because I love to read. They are not as numerous because I'm picky with the personalities I take recommendations from.
1. Shawn Mccomb.
2. Ana Wallace Johnson.
3. Csop.
Note: I also recommend Uncarley's videos. She started as a booktuber but pivoted into more of a commentary channel. However I love her recommendations still.
Podcasts:
1. Girl Historians: A Comedy Podcast: each season they talk about different topics. It's two seasons so far. First one was about the the sinking of the Titanic. Currently they're talking about the Salem Witch Trials.
2. NickyandCoco: they talk about people and/or brands in the entertainment industry and how they have gotten a push through the lens of marketing. It's been very educational.
3. BroskiReport: another comedy podcast I love.
4. Rebuttal Podcast: Reb Masel goes in depth about cases that the public may not know about, contributing to this true-crime podcast through her perspective as a lawyer.
Vloggers: they have a special place in my heart because this is how i learned English and it’s a method I’ve used with the other languages I’ve been learning.
1. Hannah Elise.
2. Nailea Devora.
3. Kennedy Walsh.
4. Avrey Ovard.
5. Emma Chamberlain.

I feel like this place isn't about people but about recommendations, right? forget the influencer, forget the individual, just browse and talk about cool shit and whoever says something good, that's good. that's what I liked about reddit, back when I actually liked reddit.
I haven't found many people I want to follow, and I'm not really looking.

for a while, when I wanted something expensive, I would think to myself, "oh, let me just look for a cheaper version of it." I end up settling for something that isn't good in any of the ways that made me want the expensive version.
Throw that out. You can get fantastic pieces for cheap, you can thrift a wardrobe you love, but if you're trying to find a cheap copy of something expensive, it's not going to work.

I pulled together all the good advice I could on how to get a men's summer wardrobe together cheap. I hope it helps somebody.
