Line #21 Sandbox/RainingMetal


1	I'm making a list of Youtube channels that make little to no use of sponsors, to share with the public for their own benefit, with a description of their channel content for those interested. See also Sandbox/{{Larkmarn}} for a similar list of channels with a description of their political stances.

3	Consider making a direct pledge to these channels if you enjoy them and keep the sponsor devil at bay!

6	!! Little to no Sponsors (feel free to add your own):
7	* [=8BitRyan=]: A multi-million subscriber English-based Let's Player best known for their horror game coverage, including the likes of ''Five Nights at Freddy's''. Generally sponsor-free for all of their primary game videos, which each part ranges from 20 minutes to an hour.
8	* Accursed Farms: Ross Scott, creator of ''WebVideo/FreemansMind'' and ''WebVideo/RosssGameDungeon'', among other things. Sponsor-free.
9	* A Jolly Wangcore: Plays mods of games, the wacky kinds of mods usually. Sponsor-free.
10	* Alasdair Beckett-King: Makes one-actor satirical short skits. Seems to only have one sponsored video that's at least relevant to the video subject.
11	* Asaratha HS: A media analysis channel focused on anime and manga content. He covers ''Re:Zero'' and ''Chainsaw Man'', but ''My Hero Academia'' tends to be his well of commentary. Generally sponsor-free, especially in his more recent videos where there's less reliance on editing, focusing on short off-the-cuff commentary videos.
12	* Beau of the Fifth Column: Commentator on various political subjects. Liberal in spite of his appearance (it's deliberate). Sponsor-free.
13	* Betty Bowers: Satirical skits lampooning conservative extremism in the USA. Sponsor-free.
14	* [=BumblesMcFumbles=]: Makes comedic videos on various video games and ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh''. Sponsor-free.
15	* WebVideo/Civvie11: Reviewer of various Boomer Shooters. Sponsor-free.
16	* WebVideo/CygnusDestroyer: Better known as the ''LJN Defender'' and known for ''Innocent Until Proven Guilty'', covers notoriously bad games and attempts to spin them in a more optimistic light. Sponsor-free, but is on a SeriesHiatus since 2020.
17	* WebVideo/DarkSimpsons: Takes clips of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' and edits them to make stories darker than the source material. Sponsor-free.
18	* Fiction Addiction: A pop culture film and series review series hosted by Esh, with a special interest in covering the Usage Yojimbo franchise. While he admits to borrowing some formats from other internet reviewers, he doesn't play the Caustic Critic trope straight, often trying to level his critiques and praises of a central work. Sponsor-free content.
19	* Giant Grant Games: Covers [[SelfImposedChallenge Self Imposed Challenges]] for Real Time Strategy games, mostly ''Videogame/StarcraftII''. Sponsor-free, and even made a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_--LvdAHfVo video]] calling out the toxic nature of Youtube's ads and sponsorships.
20	* WebAnimation/HistoryMatters: Short videos that cover various subjects of world history. Notable for its blocky character design, simple animation, and dry humour. Seems to be sponsor-free.
21	* Jethild: Covers various bits of lore in the ''Videogame/CommandAndConquer'' video games. Sponsor-free.
22	* 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.
23	* WebVideo/MarcelVos: Covers aspects of ''VideoGame/RollerCoasterTycoon'', mostly [=OpenRCT2=]. Only has one sponsored video.
24	* Marphitimus Blackimus: Covers obscure facts behind the ''Videogame/HalfLife'' games, as well as making humorous videos based on ''Videogame/{{Doom}}'' and other shooters of the era. Sponsor-free.
25	* WebVideo/{{Rerez}}: Reviews video game hardware and hosts the subseries "Positives & Negatives" and "The Worst Ever". Sponsor-free.
26	* WebVideo/ScottTheWoz: Youtube personality that makes skits and commentary on various video game-related topics. Notable for his dense and wacky pacing in his skits. Sponsor-free.
27	* The Mentok: Covers behind the scenes and in-story origins of Sonic and Mario characters, as well as other characters and subjects. Also made a ''Videogame/SonicRiders'' music video with "Gangsta's Paradise" long before the ''Sonic Movie'' trailer did it. Sponsor-free.
28	* 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.
29	* WebVideo/TheRealJims: Reviews episodes of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. Sponsor-free.
30	* WebVideo/TheUnluckyTug: Does story coverage of ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'', ''WesternAnimation/{{TUGS}}'', and recently branched out into covering Pixar movies and Star Wars. Sponsor-free.
31	* Two Cents: A spin-off PBS Digital Studios channel about personal finance and customer rights, delivered through an edutainment fashion. Sponsor-free, relying mostly on Patreon support.
32	* WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}}: The channels of the streamers of Vinesauce, usually the raw footage from their twitch streams or compilation edits from their official community. Sponsor-free.
