True crime videos, cooking videos, make up tutorials (I find them so fascinating), ghosty-cryptid- spooky stuff, Ted talks, vlogs/ people doing random experimentative shite, social commentary stuff, stuff on anime, and of course also music…
Now that I think about it, I’m not really active in any book areas online. I still find the idea of ‘bookfluencers’ really odd just because of how subjective/personal the reading experience is… I don’t really trust recommendations unless they’re from someone who knows me very well; the few times that I tried reading books because of booktwt or other online book spaces, I’ve been really let down to be honest.
I watch too much YouTube, but it’s the ONLY way I can get in touch with my American culture side.
Makeup artists (I don’t watch the problematic ones. In fact I only mainly watch two people.)
Got Talent (while acknowledging the showy-ness of “reality” TV)
Artsy videos, but they have to be calming or funny or both
Long essay videos talking about social topics (but they have to be entertaining. In fact, I’ve been watching a lot of long essay videos recently.)
Bailey Sarian
Marcin, the awesome, fantastic guitarist
Music artists sometimes
Insider and GMA sometimes
The Dodo sometimes
And sometimes some popular Japanese YouTubers
Recently a lot of the Depp x Heard trials (curiosity and to get some ideas for characters)
Random stuff recommended to me
Sometimes MasterChef type cooking competition stuff
Sierra Schultzzie sometimes
Safiya Nygaard sometimes
Spilly (yes, drama channel, but I don’t watch her stuff all the time because it’s too exhausting, and mostly out of curiosity and for character inspiration)
I do like vlogs, but I can’t watch long ones or ones where they are walking around because I get motion sickness. Sometimes I do.
Alexa Donne is my favourite authortuber for all the industry information she gives. I also watch Kate Cavenaugh sometimes, but never got into her content as much.
There’s also Quotidian Writer - Diane Callahan and Liselle Samsbury on my usual authortube watch list (I may have gotten the spellings wrong-)
