Chat became a ghost town unless they were selling something or a gold farmer. And then cross server matchmaking came and it was over. You don’t even really need to be in a guild to play WoW. The sense of community is just gone. I haven’t played since Wrath. I guess Classic brought some of that back, but I haven’t been playing so I don’t know.

If you like absurd comedy and learning history at the same time, check out Puppet History on the channel Watcher. It’s a bizarre concept, but it somehow works and is incredibly hilarious.
Along the same chaotic vein is Mythical Kitchen. They do wacky and weird experiments in the kitchen and occasional menus from historical time periods. They’re an offshoot from Good Mythical Morning, but way better in my opinion and great for a laugh.
Other folks have already mentioned Simon Whistler and Kyle Hill, which are nice junk food factoids for the brain. I use them as background noise for when I’m working.
Frontline from PBS uploads full episodes to YouTube occasionally. PBS actually has a lot of great content on YouTube including NOVA and Spacetime.
Some More News is akin to John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight with a more leftist bent and can be more funny in my opinion. Also has a puppet. I guess puppets are in?
