GothamChess is unwatchable imo. Seems to think being loud = being funny. Suppose he appeals to a certain demographic.
In terms of content creators:
- Daniel King is the best in terms of instructive analysis imo. Though I would subscribe to Peter Leko is he ever created a YouTube channel/streamed on Twitch!
- Ben Finegold is possibly the only regularly laugh out loud streamer. He also is the best at creating customised viewer content too. Aman Hambleton can be very funny too.
- In terms of the elite chess players I actually think Nepo is the funniest and a good streamer/video creator. He doesn't do it often but when he does he's pretty funny especially when you consider he's English as second language.
