I like to put on YouTube videos while cooking, cleaning, crafting, whatever. I'll admit to being a loser who enjoys things like Top 10/20/etc. lists. I also like analysis/explanation of creepy phenomena such as cults, urban legends, Internet urban legends, all that nonsense.
But every single intriguing channel I find is plagued by some asshat with unbearable autism voice. It's like listening to Chris Chan with a lower pitch. They sound like their nose is stuffed, it's monotone or repetitively metered as hell, at least one consonant sound is mangled, and they drop or extend the last syllable of every sentence. I can't really describe it well, but it's like vocal fry - once you recognize it, you hear it everywhere.
Blameitonjorge and That Creepy Reading keep showing up in my recommendations but sound just unbearably autistic. Sometimes their voice is not as bad, so it's tolerable (Nexpo/Nightmare Expo, TheGamerFromMars) but can still grate on me. It's not as noticeable to me in women's voices, or if I notice it it often isn't as big a deal. Down The Rabbit Hole is an example of someone who has the content I like, without making me feel like I'm sitting in a middle school anime club.
I get that part of the problem is the kind of content I listen to/watch (how autistic are categorical lists and minute analysis?) but there just must be a few good channels out there with intriguing content that don't sound like Chris Chan. I can only re-listen to Nick Rekieta's Greerstreams so many times.
