Lol. I'm pretty certain most, if not all of the people I follow are making something off their videos, but a lot of them are also smaller than 1 mil.
brutalmoose - A video game reviewer who specializes in older games. His sarcastic humor is rather entertaining.
Lettice Rowbotham - A violinist who participated in 'Britain's Got Talent', and lost in the finals to a month old boy band. Of course. I love how she works the violin, you can tell she loves what she does, and I recommend looking up her got talent videos, they're awesome.
Pikapetey Animations - Found them on Jon Tron's cover of 'Fireworks'. Got great, fluid animations. They're also very silly.
This is Dan Bell - A guy who goes around, filming abandoned buildings. He truly treats his cinematography like an art. Great angles, everything looks crisp, and his voice coupled with the background noises makes the videos very relaxing.
They will Kill You - A sort of macabre channel dedicated to disturbing things, such as diseases, Darwinisms, deadly plants, pretty much what the name entails. I find it informative, but I'd suggest not checking this one out if you're not good with gore or gross stuff.
Will Terrell - A great cartoonist who talks about stuff while he draws. He gives good, helpful advise for young artists, and his voice is relaxing... also he draws adorable old people.
YourMovieSucksDOTorg - A tough movie reviewer who takes cinematography very seriously, and gets a kick out of terribad garbage. He brings up interesting stuff most reviewers don't, and has some not very well known movies on his suggestions list I rather enjoyed. Although I would not suggest checking out his stuff if you don't have a thick skin, he's a huge supporter of anti-censorship, and likes to exercise his rights.
Lil BUB - A fucking adorable special needs cat, with a very loving owner.
makebabi.es - Anime parody channel. Great animation for free parody videos, love the music!
Scott Burdick - A talented realism artist. I don't necessarily follow him for all of his videos, but mainly his art and particularly his 'Banishment of Beauty' series. Which discusses the battle between realism versus modern art, and is very interesting.
HarshlyCritical and MrKravin - They're together because they pretty much do the same thing. They're both horror game let's players, and what makes their videos nice in my opinion is the fact that they don't screech, and scream like banshees like most these guys do. They're most cynical, and usually find the bad horror games funny, they also make good background noise because they don't scream at random and scare the crap out of me.
