Discover or shoutout small and unknown creators
To help give some guidance on how you might be able to find smaller creators, despite the distinct lack of tools to do so baked into the youtube interface, I figured I'd give you at least a starting point. * When searching for a topic you're interested in, set your filters to sort by views and narrow down the date range to last week. * Once you've done that, scroll down a while until you start hitting videos that been up for 2 or more days but have below 100 or so views. * Since most interactions for content creators happen during the first few hours of any uploaded video, you'll almost assuredly find a creator with a very low subscriber count. Mind you needn't sort by views, you can simply sort by anything and look for videos that haven't been up long and have very few views. This sorting just helps narrow it down more quickly. Now, if these are going to be good? I don't know, but it's part of the joy of finding someone that you really enjoy. Hope this helps some of you. Feel free to share if you find one of those gems!

This community's idea sounds great. But a critical question: creators of what? crafts? websites? videos? Or just everything goes?
With algorithms, clickbait, the power of hate and controversy, it's become increasingly difficult to find or amplify the smaller creators (below 1000 subscribers/followers) across the internet. Know a diamond in the rough, that barely anyone knows about? Go talk about them there. Tell the fediverse why they're a worth a subscription, or even promote your own work. This can be anyone from YouTubers, Twitch Streamers, Arts&Crafts Creators, Writers, Musicians, Artists, whatever comes to mind as long as it is SFW. Do observe the rules in the sidebar, before posting.
Found him some years ago and even joined one of his DnD campaigns. All round solid dude who gets flustered and stressed when things don't quite go his way, but it's very entertaining to watch or even just listen to. When playing Crusader Kings 2/3 and more complex games he's taking great care (in some of his playlists anyway) to explain what he's doing and why, to help others get their toes wet with these types of games that might seem intimidating to newcomers. He's generally relaxed and there's a huge backlog to binge through, should you find his style and voice, etc. good to listen to. Personally, I'd like to see him grow. He's also setup shop out here in the fediverse: * Mastodon: [https://mastodon.social/@Imperor](https://mastodon.social/@Imperor) * Lemmy.world: [https://lemmy.world/c/imperor](https://lemmy.world/c/imperor) * YouTube obviously: [https://www.youtube.com/@Imperor](https://www.youtube.com/@Imperor) Not sure if he's open to collaborations with anyone, but I believe he might be. If you know someone, feel free to pass along his mastodon link. Go show him some love!
