* Man Carrying Thing: An American YouTuber who tends to do topical one-man quick skits parodying pop and internet culture. Though he's also known for discussing books, along with their adaptations (such as Wheel of Time), which occasionally becomes a video essay. Leans on the "little" side. His more consistent skit videos contain no sponsorships at all, since they're generally 30 seconds to a minute long. His longer video editorials contain brief sponsorships from Babbel and Skillshare.

I'll admit, the page requirements does have to make me have to think more about some of the creators I watch and their incorporation (or lack there of) of ads. This addition's interesting because I'm normally getting their videos without sponsor more.

* Negative Legend: An American non-binary[[note]]goes by any pronoun, according to their socials[[/note]] pop culture reviewer, covering different Western cartoons, comics, anime, video games and card games. They're best known for their retrospective "What Happened to..." and "Deep Dive" series, giving equal focus to any typically "gendered" franchises, compared to some nerd channels that tend to be predominantly cover "male-centric" franchises. In spite of their username, they're not centered on a CausticCritic persona, as Negative tries to view media through a balanced, yet subjective lens. Leans towards the "little" side of 'little to no sponsorship". They will go on a streak of full length videos with no sponsors at all, then drop one to two videos with some kind of shirt or gaming sponsor, then repeat the cycle.
