Those are hard to find.

Weirdly, I discovered another one today, which while not exclusively focussed on stealth games, certainly seems to have a preference for them. The channel is Critical Nobody, and he's got a couple of great vids reviewing all of the (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wnoaf6Zc3wk&list=PLhL8LhGhqZhlMprOM09xzire066LT2Bge&index=12) Hitman games and all of the (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR3xAf6tSxc&list=PLhL8LhGhqZhlMprOM09xzire066LT2Bge&index=21) Splinter Cell ones.

Beware though; they're both about an hour long!

Even weirder than the fact I've never seen the channel pop up in my recommendations until today is the fact that those videos have millions of views. Don't get me wrong; they're good videos!
It's just weird that I've never come across the channel before given how popular it appears to be.

If you think this is surreal, imagine it popping up in your video recommendations one day as a video about Sonic 2 and all the comments being full of people who were incredibly confused, angry, exhilarated, and, dare I say it, at a loss. Cause that's what it was billed as when it first came out. I think it was even titled as Serious Lore Analysis: Is Sonic 2 About Capitalism? or something like that.

Hehheh, sounds like a good time. There's something about HBomberguy that provokes conservative viewers of a more delicate sensibility, namely those who get offended when others get offended by problematic content.

Cool, I'll give it a look. And yeah, Youtube's recommendation algorithm is terrible. My best guess is that it has been thoroughly corrupted by SEO.
