The other genre I didn't really mention and should have are boundary break/out of bounds videos, where people break the artificial restrictions of 3D video games using hacks and tricks, and show you 'behind the scenes' to find hidden rooms, developer areas, locked material, incomplete/unusual items and textures out of camera view. I'm not a huge gamer, but I'm absolutely in love with the fourth-wall-breaking aspect of things like moon jump codes and glitches/clipthroughs/hacks. Something about the destruction or damaging of artificially constructed reality in a playable, explorable environment really speaks to me.

On the essayist front, also quite like Pop Culture Detective, Sarah Z (The Late Capitalism of Fast Food Twitter particularly).

Some folks I like on this front are Shesez, The Easter Egg Hunter, and Oddheader.
