European Content Creators – List Your Favourites Here
European Content Creators – List Your Favourites Here
I thought it would be nice to hear about everyone's favourite European content creators. (Not for self-promotion)
Platform doesn't matter but if you know a good channel on peertube etc. even better.
How is this relevant?
Content creators often discuss and review products and services. They are the first stop for many people when they are looking for information about something. I think it's important to grow viewership for European content creators which in turn would grow demand for more EU wide product reviews etc.
More than a commercial point-of-view – news, travel tips, culture and just daily life are things we should conciously share and take an interest in here in Europe. Again, build an EU wide viewership and a feedback cycle for European content.
So who do you follow? Who's your local authority in insert hobby here?
I really enjoy Kurzgesagt's informative videos!
Their videos are amazing! Even if I don't care about te topic I watch cause it's informative and beautiful
I wish all European content creators, would mirror their content on a peertybe server. I might even watch more videos if it wasn't on YouTube
I started uploading my youtube videos there as well. Starting from my oldest ones. I am not a big youtuber, I don’t have sponsorships and so, although I am monetized on YouTube I make very little because I do it as a hobby outside of work, son don’t upload to often. I don’t know about the big channels, that do have sponsorships, if they would be limited by that part to post on PeerTube.
Are you asking about creators talking in english or in our own mother tongue too?
If the former:
- f4mi 🇪🇺 on yt, talks about early 2000 software, gadgets, games etc.
- Alex/FrenchGuyCooking 🇨🇵 on yt, cooking
- Britmonkey 🇬🇧 on yt
- Computerphile 🇬🇧 on yt, software, programming
- Explaining Computers 🇬🇧 on yt, single board computers
- der8auer 🇩🇪 on yt, pc parts reviews

- The Linux Experiment 🇨🇵 on yt, i think he also has peertube, linux

- Tom Nicholas 🇬🇧 on yt
Italian 🇮🇹 Creators:
- DarioMocciaChannel on yt, manga and anime
- DarioMocciaArchives on yt, interviews, collectible cards and variety
- ZooSparkle on yt, animal world and paleontology (GOAT), enjoyable with the automatic translations and/or captions
- Alessandro Barbero either on yt or various podcasts, uni professor in Medieval History, talks about history (SERIOUS GOAT ALERT)
+1 for Barbero, you can find him on many podcasts and on YouTube (none of the accounts are managed by him, but he knows)
Thank you, great list!
As to your question, personally, both! Translations are often available and sometimes language isn't even a barrier! Also helps with language learning if it happens to be in your target language.
I unfortunately know nothing about Peertube, the only creator I follow that also has a Peertube channel is Veronica Explains (Linux content)
I guess so, thanks!
I just went through my subscribtions and here are the European ones that are worth being mentioned:
