A few I like:
WDW Pro
That Park Place
Martin's Videos Disney
RetroWDW

Some I've watched, but don't care for(They come off as click bait):
Fastpass Facts
TMP Videos
Posideon Entertainment - He did a video about a park I like and his information was inaccurate and mainly speculative.

Like Posideon Entertainment, Fastpass Facts and TMP Videos tend to do videos on certain subjects without thoroughly researching them.

He seems like a decent dude but the whole "gee golly" character he does is pretty creepy.
He doesn't really do that off camera. He sounds pretty much the same but is definitely a little more realistic sounding! We had a fun chat about the resort, collecting Disney memorabilia, and a few other things... I was surprised I was able to take 5 or 10 minutes to do that without my FSAs or managers breathing down my neck, but I suppose because he was a guest it helped.
TMP Videos
I caution to say they are clickbait because he's actually done some videos that are excellent on entertainment within the parks and related areas, my area of expertise. I also appreciate that he puts out as many videos on evacs and AA failures as he does - I used to use his videos for citations when I would write papers at UCF, as his videos are often the only sources of certain failures and evacs procedures that are reliable to stay up long-term (or exist at all).

I met him once while working (he was a guest at the resort I worked at so I had some leeway to chat), and he couldn't have been a nicer guy. Same on cameras as off - and even before I noted I watched his videos, he treated me extremely well. (Now if it was because I was an on-duty CM, who knows, but he seemed genuine.) Never asked for any special treatment, and as far as I know never got any.

He does come across as a very friendly individual who enjoys life. Someone who would be a lot of fun to chat travel topics and theme parks with.
We met him in Epcot a few years ago. He chatted with us for almost 30 minutes. He is definitely what he appears to be. A really great guy.

I think that's just the way he is? Creepy to me implies something dishonest or negative, like he's trying to hide something for nefarious reasons. I've read more positive comments about Nate from people who've met him than any other vlogger.

I get he sounds very enthusiastic nearly all the time but I think that's about it. This video is him talking about his childhood, depression, his marriage failing and how vlogging makes him happy and why he sounds so positive about everything in life when he can. It's moving and very honest and perhaps makes him seem more 'real'.

That's more of a function of some content producers using it as a full time vocation. They do things and adopt personas just to increase their cashflow.
Yes. They put themselves out there in a very personal and accessible way and then cry foul when people start to have a problem with the personality they put on display.

Perfect example is Mammoth Club Molly.

I watch several Disney parks YouTubers in anticipation of upcoming trips and to keep on top of changes. You’re right, so many of them have turned into pseudo celebrities and really let it go to their heads. What doesn’t help are their, as you mentioned, rabid fan bases, many who enter into unhealthy parasocial relationships with the YouTubers. Toxic positivity in the comments, anything that deviates from their view is considered “hate” etc.
She was dfb before nail girl and then left to start a rival gig. That kinda warps the Brain a bit…organically. Also a former jockey. Which also adds some spice to the soup

Not to mention his auctions he does of Disney stuff for Give Kids the World.
