Throughout the years, I have watched and followed creators that have gone astray or been revealed to be very problematic. For example, I was well into beauty content when the infamous dramageddon happened. While I still occasionally watch tea (gossip) videos and do spend so much time watching dark stories, these comfort channels actually provide much-needed good vibes.
The common theme among these creators, I think, is the fact that they're very passionate about what they do which does show in the content they put out and they're generally unproblematic. Which YouTube channels feels like a nice warm cup of tea or hot chocolate for you? Share them in the comments below!
Safiya Nygaard
I have liked Safiya's personality even back in her Buzfeed days, but I believe she shined more when she started her own channel. Safiya is one of those people who you know is very intelligent, just based on how she speaks, what she says, and how her content is laid out. She is very entertaining, and I do learn a lot from the videos she puts out. I even watch her videos on topics that I don't gravitate towards.
It was only until I put this list together that I realised Sophdoeslife is the only almost purely makeup-related Youtuber that I still watch. I no longer overconsume cosmetics and skincare, and unsubscribing to many beauty vloggers has helped kerb that wasteful habit. However, I do still watch Sophdoeslife because I found that I can consume her content without actually consuming what she puts out.
She just genuinely enjoys makeup and is not pushing it down her viewers' throats. She's just obviously very happy with what she's doing. Sophdoeslife radiates so much positive energy, which still keeps me tuned even today.
I don't talk about many private things, but only my husband knows the ungodly amount of hours that I have played my cozy games. Especially The Sims. Even though I know how capitalist all those expansions and packs are, I still end up craving the next good one I find.
With that, I also enjoy watching gameplays of other players. Sims is a simulation game so I think it does take some good personality to make these videos entertaining to watch and I can really vouch for Whiny Brit on this one.
From what I see, I think she has an amazing personality. Her gameplays are very entertaining to watch and she does have many takes that often makes me laugh.
Mia Maples is always a ray of fun and positive light. What drew me to her were her cute thumbnails and home interiors, but I stayed for the lighthearted, though still very honest, reviews. Mia's style and personality show through her aesthetics genuinely, which is one of the things I really like about her channel.
She often reviews popular products as well as celebrity brands. We are not of the same body type, but I still watch her clothing reviews because they're as fun as her other content. She also has a great relationship with her mum, whom she regularly sees in her videos.
While I watch a fair amount of commentary videos, I personally do not look to them for comfort. I even sometimes skip them for weeks just to avoid heavy topics. However, I could not say no to comedic commentary, especially for movies and TV shows. For that, only one channel stands out for me, which is Alex Meyers.
When watching movies, we sometimes need to suspend our disbelief really hard to enjoy them. Alex Meyers takes all those thoughts if we were to watch movies logically and presents them in a very funny way.
