I close the video if the title looks interesting to me but the first thing I see when I click it is someone talking at the camera instead of the thing that made me click on the video.

I dunno, I like Tom Scott.

I think this is more common than one would think. Most female content creators that DO get male viewers gets sexualised and the comments are always such a mess.

Woman no teach, make god mad

Teach what? Like religion? Or lessons in general knowledge? I would imagine women would be allowed to teach their kids a lot

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

In context, it is meant to be in regard to religion

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Of course because women are too stupid and irrational to teach about made up sky man

I actually had that conversation with my girlfriend this week. She does not watch any women on YouTube and I only occasionally do. Gabi Belle, Simone Giertz and Physics Girl are the only women I watched like ever

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

It's a male dominated space. It makes sense that a large portion of you watch history would be male.

Only people who subscribe to specific things would see more female YouTubers, for example, makeup tutorials or ASMR videos.

I watch lots of animation content by woman, but almost nothing hosted by woman. Barbara Dunkelman and Alanah Pearce are the only two that comento mind and I haven't watched their stuff in years. I wonder why.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's the same with me, probably because I watch a lot of geeky content. The only female creator I can think of is Freya Holmer
(who you should definitely check out by the way, her videos on splines are very interesting and well made)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

If it's geeky content you want, Dr. Angela Collier is currently my favorite youtuber. My favorite video of hers is one where she makes fun of Gwyneth Paltrow for putting lemon juice in alkaline water, then spends an hour explaining why exactly it's funny that Gwyneth Paltrow put lemon juice in alkaline water.

There's also Answer In Progress if you're into a wide assortment of surface level knowledge, Sabine Hossenfelder if you're into physics, Emma Thorne if you're into atheism, Up and Atom if you're into math, and I feel like ass because I can't bring to mind any other specific female youtubers

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

oh yeah, I forgot I watch Answer in Progress. That channel's pretty good

I watch tech stuff and like Lisa from Mobiletechreview. I think a lot of the other female tech reviewers like ijustine have no independent thought.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

iJustine has always been a terrible content creator with no brains in her head whatsoever, I wish she hadn't gotten such an early start because it definitely contributed to setting the trend that if you look even moderately attractive you can post complete garbage and amass a following.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Same. I thought I was stepping on eggshells with this comment. She has no idea what she's talking about and I feel like her audience watched her for eye candy.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago

I feel male creators tell you a lot less about their life than women do. I like Simone, but she does tend to tell you about everything happening in her life.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago

I watch Gutsick Gibbon but I'm struggling to think of really anyone else. I'm the same way with audiobooks. I can't take an AB seriously that's narrated by a woman

Fake: anon claims to watch video essays Gay: anon doesn't like women

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Jenny Nicholson was pretty funny, she's almost off YouTube now. I do avoid creators with anime avatars though

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Anon doesn't like women.

Did anon found the answer to cure cancer
