[not a meme] anyone I should add?
I'm sorry if this is not the best place for this, I couldn't think of anywhere better to ask about it
the reason most of these people are youtubers is because I went through my youtube subscriptions for ideas
edit: I've just realized I forgot to add rule to the title but I don't know how to fit it in there with it looking not bad
I had a lot of conversations with my dad about how glorifying people is setting yourself up for failure when there were loads of protests were going on about bringing down statues of famously racist people who did like a handful of notable things i.e. most of the U.S. founding fathers.
I wouldn’t suggest keeping a list of names that you admire. Maybe keep a list of things about those names that you admire

Grady Hillhouse of Practical Engineering. He provides so much insight to the constructed world around us and, more recently, has done a ton of work to digest complex reports to, as he puts it, "elevate the discussion" around manmade disasters so that the layman can have a more informed opinion.
Pannenkoek as well. He's pretty niche, making videos almost exclusively about Mario 64, but he has an incredible talent for teaching complex technical concepts in an understandable way. It's often really hard for people that freakin smart to turn around and explain their knowledge to a layman, but Pannen puts a ton of work into visuals and examples to make sense of some really comprehensive stuff.
Rebecca Sugar, creator of Steven Universe. They've always had a mission to reach queer kids and have taken inspiration from Mr. Rogers to help children love and accept themselves. Over the course of their career, they've really come out of their shell and fought for representation in cartoons, driving the whole medium forward while supporting their peers across the animation industry. They've been pretty quiet online since the end of Steven Universe, but it's because they're out there in person at LGBTQ+ youth centers teaching kids how to understand and express themselves. I didn't know what it meant to have a role model until I started following their career.

Are we talking just contemporary people? Because John Brown, as a historical figure, is a great inspiration for me.
so what i'm seeing here is that your youtube recommendations are borderline identical to mine
Wendy Carlos. One of the earliest trans icons who basically invented the genre of electronic music.
She maintains a personal website that's straight out of the early 2000s.
Wendy Carlos HomePage - https://www.wendycarlos.com/
Posy has many videos along the lines of technology connections with incredible macro footage as well as lots of other random interesting stuff.
mitxela for well documented high quality projects blending mechanical and electrical engineering.
The Tim Traveller is basically Tom Scott if only covering strange historical things. And unlike Tom Scott he's still making videos.
Cathode Ray Dude does a mix of long form content like technology connections, but focusing on relatively modern computers.
If you admire Technology Connections, take a look at Cathode Ray Dude. Exudes a lot of the same energy.

I was going to suggest John and Hank Green until I realized you already included them! So how about Destin Sandlin from Smarter Every Day?
Neil Ciecierega
Super small youtuber, but I really look up to TyraLore. Her videos are all about the Minecraft Create mod, but her way of explaining everything, as well as her creativity in her survival series, have really inspired me to play Minecraft again.
Why not paste the text instead of the image ?

The Larry sanders show is amazing 👏
Fantastic subtle comedy that has an understated nuance. It's a breath of fresh air among jumpscare slapstick humor that seems to Rule the Day today , see https://youtu.be/4AdHpQW-pEs?feature=shared

Drift Daddy (RTGame)I haven't cried even once today, so I think you should add me.

People I admire?
- My dad
- My mom
- My uncle

- Bernie Sanders
- Alie Ward
- Carter

Carl Sagan
Kevin Mitnick
Hans and Sophie Scholl definitely need to be on every list of people to admire
Jon “Maddog” Hall, instrumental in early Linux goings-on.
I think Uncle Ben from Urban Rescue Ranch is worthy of the list. He's an animal rehabber from Waco, TX who spent years turning a crack house, needle-filled property into a beautiful animal rehabilitation center. He frequently updates his YouTube channel with his day-to-day life, and the animals he has are fun (capybaras, kangaroos, rheas, etc.). He genuinely loves animals and loves his work and I've learned a lot from his channel.
'Y a un youtubeur qui s'appelle "orteil" ?!

I like $uicideboy$ and Juice WRLD because they make super cool music and they helped me a lot with their art.
