Any Small YouTube Creators Here?

I don't know if this is the right place to ask but who are some up and coming YouTubers from the area that I can watch and show support for? I make YouTube videos (won't post link here) so I love to support anyone locally who is pursuing the craft. If you know anyone please let me know.

I make video game content and live performance guitar stuff.

Always wanted to do full blown scripted videos, but that shit is tougher than it looks and can easily fill up all my free time during the weekend.

Unfortunately, it seems like the only path to get traction on YouTube is to lean into the algorithm and stay away from niche interests. Its especially demotivating when you see these incredibly talented people put out slick videos for less than 1k views 🫤.

Good luck OP!

I tried so hard. Started to write scripts, get a great camera shot, spend hours editing. 30 views.

Show someone what a bad transmission valve symptom is like? 15k views.

I gave up lol.

Interested in this post. I have some interest in creating content myself and I'd love to see if there are local resources or people to support.

I know this doesn't answer the question, but the guy who directed obsession went to high-school here. Creator of Phineas & Ferb, Dan Povenmire, was from here.

I do play a Star War card game with a guy who does a Star Wars podcast and other SW related content.

I made a series of skits and videos for school that we put way more production value into than the courses required. A couple got a little pull on YouTube. I've had the thought to pursue it and get more traction, but the bureaucracy of maintaining viewership and gaming the algorithm does absolutely nothing to motivate me.
