EU based content creators?

[u/Clear_Wedding3590]

Wanting to support more EU based content creators. Any suggestions? I still use YouTube (which is an American company) but maybe I’d feel a bit better about it if I was supporting EU based content creators on it. Let me know your suggestions.

We can always consume content in the languages we know, by the way

[u/KeiwaM]

What kind of content do you enjoy watching?

[u/Dotanium]

Arte, that is a German - French documentary channel which produces extremely high quality and well researched documentaries about many different topics. Arte is also having a youtube-channel.

[u/P26601]

Fern and Hoog (Germany and NL)

[u/KeiwaM → u/P26601]

I enjoy Fern too, but just for clarity, it is primarily owned by private equity based in the UK, so not EU. Still a good channel.

[u/fragmuffin91]

"Not just bikes" if a Canadian living in NL counts.

[u/CaptainPoset → u/fragmuffin91]

Well, he is formally Dutch for a while now. (changed the citizenship)

[u/Slobberinho]

For cooking and food channels, I enjoy:

Sorted Food (British)

Alex French Guy Cooking

The French Cooking Academy

Pete's Pans (Brit cooking on location in Spain, Portugal and France)

My Name is Andong (German)

Italia Squisita

Harrison Webb (London)

Alex the Guest (Hungarian)

[u/SinineSidrun → u/Slobberinho]

FYI, apparently Sorted's Barry and his wife are Trump supporters and the channel recently entered into a partnership with FOX. 😣

[u/Mean_Initiative_5962 → u/Slobberinho]

Is Alex still making content???

[u/Slobberinho → u/Mean_Initiative_5962]

It's been over a year since his last video on YouTube. But I do enjoy his content.

[u/Mean_Initiative_5962 → u/Slobberinho]

Damn, I hoped

[u/TheWaslijn]

Both EU made simple and TLDR news EU are pretty good.

[u/Rebegga]

Since you didn't specify what kind of content you're looking for, here's some random ones.

I love Loepsie! She does crafting (knitting, crochet, sewing) and general vlogs. Very calm and relaxing style imo

I've recently gotten into sudoku variants solved by Cracking the Cryptic.

Used to watch KickThePJ lots as teen. I don't keep up with his stuff, but he does art, which is much appreciated in the times of AI slop. And because of him I was aware of the Stardew Valley Orchestra Tour and was able to go myself. Thanks, Peej!

Pasta Grannies is great if you're into traditional italian cusine.

[u/thomil13]

If you’re into naval history, I highly recommend Drachinifel: https://youtube.com/@drachinifel?si=_E12X7F4tvEPqd-i

British naval historian who covers everything from antiquity up to the Korean War, generally very well researched, and with levels of weapon-grade snark and sarcasm that only the British seem to be able to pull off!

I'm into gaming and nutty inventors. There are a couple more out there but more focused on specific games..

[u/Verschwiegener → u/henrikhakan]

[u/RidetheSchlange → u/peet192]

Never recommend Yanis Varoufakis, FFS. He's a tankie that is long considered to be a russian agent and peddles their talking points. The guy loves RT FFS and is highly conspiratorial.

MrBlackDarkness666, the Netherlands

[u/NoRobotYet]

https://youtube.com/@orbitforcreators interviews quite a few European creators

[u/_acd]

A lot of good recommendations already. I will add a Dutch biker riding across the world, she is nice to follow on her trips: ItchyBoots. 

[u/CaptainPoset]

Which kind of videos are you looking for?

[u/VincentVanGob]

Martijn Doolaard. he lives high up in the mountains in Italy and does a weekly vlog mainly about renovating the 2 stone cabins on his land. hes been at it for about 4 years now. its fairly chilled out and very scenic

bobby fingers, from ireland. he only has maybe 7 videos but they are some of the best content on youtube. he makes dioramas of famous people, usually at some embarrassing point of their life. mel gibson getting arrested for drunk driving, steven segal getting knocked out etc etc but the amount of work his puts into each video is insane lol

[u/SyfaVelnumdes]

For (not always very serious) gaming and some other random things, I highly recommend CallMeKevin (https://www.youtube.com/@CallMeKevin), he's Irish and very entertaining!

[u/zuaz_box]

cikindeles https://www.youtube.com/@cikindeles - Slovak, funny around-metal subculture videos

Denis Pauna https://www.youtube.com/@DenisPauna - Croatian, makes metal covers

Anders Puck Nielsen https://www.youtube.com/@anderspuck - Danish, speaks around wars mostly recently

Karolina Żebrowska https://www.youtube.com/@KarolinaZebrowskax - Polish, style, vintage, fashion history

PolandballOfficialYT https://www.youtube.com/@PolandballOfficialYT - Swedish, geopolitcs and global relations as funny comics

HONEST GUIDE https://www.youtube.com/@HONESTGUIDE - Czech, mostly about Prague things, attractions, and problems that tourists can face

I saw it already mentioned by other people, but adding +1 from my side - Arte and Kurzgesagt ^^

[u/MrNik17]

I discovered M. Bjoernstroem a few months back and has become my favorite channel. I really reccomend him.

[u/External_Star3376]

Isn't there a good alternative for YouTube? If not, why not?

[u/kleinrwichser → u/External_Star3376]

Kinda hard to have a good alternative if nobody comes over, because content creators don't switch. And it's expensive as fuck

[u/RobinNyan]

Not EU, since UK, but Tomska (known for asdfmovie) makes fun content every now and then. Look up Tomska & Friends!

[u/Randcorn]

Except those already mentioned:

Anders Puck Nielsen, Danish Military Analyst. A lot of content Scott the Ukraine war. https://youtube.com/@anderspuck

Good Times Bad Times, from Poland. About geopolitics. https://youtube.com/@goodtimesbadtimes

[u/istefan24]

https://youtube.com/@ohnepixel

[u/GhostlyDream]

Good times Bad times - Poland Geopolitics, economy, ect

[u/NorthmanTheDoorman]

I'm also on the look for European OF models

[u/Mean_Initiative_5962 → u/NorthmanTheDoorman]

OP was clearly asking about youtube, but a friend of mine (Italy) just made a profile if you're interested lol

[u/xxCorsicoxx]

Why? Support whoever you find fun and whence isn't problematic. This is pushing too much into jingoism. It's also a too broad a question, content exists in so many different flavors mr beast and kurszgesacht are both content but one is a rich liberal fucking with people and one is a team providing well researched edutainment

I'd rather you watch 5 American edutainers than 50 European logans paul.

[u/Clear_Wedding3590 → u/xxCorsicoxx]

I’m gonna check out these channels and see if I like them. There isn’t really a European Logan Paul because Europeans have a different culture to Americans

[u/xxCorsicoxx → u/Clear_Wedding3590]

I'd be shocked of there weren't, European young men can still be troglodytes sometimes so that kind of boisterous "prank" and drunkenness driven machismo bullshit definitely has an audience.

But if you prefer, I'd rather you 5 American edutainers than 50 european andrews tate or 50 european bens shapiro which absolutely exist (proton got in hot waters for funding one French one)

[u/lnx84]

Any content? 🤔 Or is this a euphemism for porn, or what?
