Hey Guys.
Are there any content creators you could recommend? I like watching some Classic related stuff, but since I am usually trying to stay away from youtube and co I have no idea who may be worth watching. So far I have seen some stuff from preach (very enjoyable in my opinion, but not that much Classic content) as well as madseasonshow (no bullshit as far as I can tell, but rather boring to listen to).
I really enjoy Tipsout but I feel like that's a bit of a homer pick.
Classic Winds has some good content, especially his 1-60 on nothing but boars challenge.
Frosdamus has a lot of good fan content, although his accent can be a bit difficult to follow from time to time. He makes some damn good Hype Videos though.
Thanks for the links and suggestions; I will look into that. Not utilizing the search function is a bad habit of mine.

I really dislike how he took all of Hurricane's vanilla videos, mashed them together and added generic WoW music to it. He didn't create those videos at all. If you haven't seen the originals, please give them a look.
There is a few I enjoy, but it's mostly recycled content now.

Frostadamus has a lot of good fan content
I particularly like his profession overview videos. They have a lot of useful information to consider if you're not sure which professions you want to go with.
Personally I find most of the Classic cast line up to be dull and grating to my nerves outside of StaySafe.
Here are the content creators I follow
Countdown to Classic
Wowcrendor
Frostadamus
Classic Winds
Kargoz
Mizoto (I dont think he makes videos anymore tho?)

I had no idea this was a thing, thanks for the info! Going to queue those up for today :)
For more recent content, I'm a fan of the Countdown to Classic podcast: https://countdowntoclassic.com/
I recommend all content creators that aren't streamers as I find all the streamers incompetent in their information as they're all in a race to push out as much fake-hyped content as possible.
Frostadamus is great i've been watching his videos since the early private server days. He's a OG and has a lot of great casual advice.
Ohhgee Haptix Gaming is a Mage PvPer. He's another OG that i've personally played with in the past who has great tips on PvP.
Staysafe is perhaps the only streamer i'd bother watching if you're looking for advice and game knowledge. He's more of a hardcore raider and PvPer and is a OG on the private server scene. I've played with him personally on Nost.
Defcamp & Melderon TV aren't half bad. I sometimes have their podcasts in the background.
Classic Wind's is decent entertainment overall.
Keep a eye out for WoWcrendor, Lazypeon, Nixxiom, etc. as they're great personalities and will be playing Classic so im sure they're have a lot of funny content out. (They're more entertainment than informative which is the intention.)
Rule of thumb if there is a video on youtube called "TOP TEN -Insert random WoW related topic- YOU MUST KNOW" type of videos they're generally clueless about the game and are just reposting shit they see on a forum. I've seen Tip's out guides that are copy and paste from a 2x Private server guide for example. So if you want solid information from content creators then the ones i've listed above are pretty good.
I recommend though joining a theorycrafting discord and funneling questions there or on forums like this. You will find more unbiased answers there and here in my honest opinion. And since it's a forum/Discord it's easier to debate topics aswell.
https://discord.gg/sAz6Jz (This is Taladril's Theorycrafting channel) A lot of knowledgeable sperglords on here.
Frostdamus just released a list (today!) of his top 5 favorite content creators as well!
Aha I just thumbed through it. Frost and I think alike.
I cannot believe Hayven channel hasn't been posted. I really liked his perspective and the tone of the videos. One of my favourites was the Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian.
RIP Hayven :sad:
RIP Hayden. Been a while since I watched something from him
