Despite youtube doing all but destroying the genre after the logan paul scandal in 2018.
True crime has managed to adapt and overcome draconian censorship to appease advertisers.
Thankfully the true crime genre is still surviving on youtube,
even though it has been drastically watered down.
i have included a list of the best true crime creators on youtube. This is in no particular
order as each channel is unique in its own way. Rob Gavigan
Perhaps no one was hit harder with the new youtube censorship post 2017/2018.
Ridiculously he even had to change his name from Rob Dyke to Rob Gavigan as the word dyke
being a slur against lesbians was flagged up for demonetization every time he posted.
I'm not rob dyke anymore, what the hell happened? Who Is Rob Gavigan?
Which a lot of you have wondered how to pronounce Gavigan. It's Gavigan just like that.
Um so anyway youtube um was targeting my last name as a slur, which it was, um so
they decided to demonetize videos and whatnot based on the fact that I had my name in the video.
Uh description, the metadata, and all that, so I decided to uh go ahead and change my name.
Undoubtedly rob has the best voice-over and presentation in the genre.
Eyes are the window to the soul. They are a muse for artists and poets alike. However,
for one killer his obsession with eyes would strike fear among the women working the streets
of Dallas Texas. It quickly became clear
someone was hunting vulnerable women and taking sadistic trophies from each victim.
His previous work was particularly disturbing keeping you engrossed in gore.
However, many of these videos have been obliterated by youtube's mass censorship program.
At his peak, he had an incredible team behind him of editors and researchers.
However, demonetization hit him hard and the channel did not consistently post for a while.
It seems they have gained sponsorship and more disturbing content is once again being produced
without having to rely on youtube's advertisers. A sponsor came to me recently to sponsor this
video which they did. But that's not all. The owner of this company
happens to be a big fan of my channel, and has been for a long time, for years.
He knows the climate of youtube, he knows it's been difficult for me to put out content,
due in part to losing money, and he wants to help me to be able to make more content for all of you.
And to get back on my feet. to do this he wants to work together long-term with sponsorships,
but also other projects that we've discussed, that could bring my channel back to life.
This is a huge opportunity and he's a dedicated viewer, like so many of you.
He wants to see me return to regularly producing content. So, i hope you'll hear me out and take
advantage of his amazing business called wicked clothes. To show him the kind of power you all
have, the taste you have, and awesome clothes, and the desire you have to bring my content back
to a regular schedule - without needing to worry so much about youtube demonetizing me.
Emma kenny True crime tv star Emma Kenny has
broken her way into youtube with a bang. Without a doubt she has the most
in-depth well-researched videos on true crime, on youtube. She is able to use her industry
connections as a former tv presenter, and writer, to bring new life to even old, and stale topics.
I also believe her passion radiates off of her when she talks.
Today I'm going to be covering a case that you guys asked me to do. In fact,
I've got a massive list I'll be here in 100 years still doing it because
the list is so long. But this one is on b t k So, because you asked I have decided to cover
it. I know it's been covered in lots of other areas, by lots of other YouTubers, but why not
give you my take on a crime, that terrorized Wichita, an area of Kansas for over 30 years.
30 years! That man got away literally with murder. That's insane, isn't it?
That somebody can literally get away with 10 murders, over 30 years, and seemingly,
if it hadn't have been for a little mistake that he made at the very end of it, chances
are he would have got away with it full stop. Her video editor makes incredible intros for every
story, and although they do little else, Emma is extremely engaging when the camera is on her.
Emma is also able to give scientific credibility into her evaluation of crime, and criminals,
as she is a renowned psychologist. Obsolete Oddity
Obsolete Oddity is a unique true crime channel, focusing on old historical cases. This channel is
largely for the more sophisticated viewer, who enjoys intellectually scripted videos.
The editing is also impressive, as the classical theme is continued,
with vintage-style posters, and photography. It is also refreshing to hear someone talk
with a refined and calm voice. Rather than relying on the over-the-top hyper youtube voice.
Pretty Dulce Marcum didn't choose to be australia's most notorious gangster moll,
that life chose her, or so she would claim. Many men in relationships with her ended up
in an early grave, in gangland killings. So much so that the press dubbed her the angel of death.
The high-class voice-over reflects the channel and perfectly accompanies
the topics covered. Obsolete Oddity brings new life to forgotten crimes of the past.
Dark Curiosity. By far the best true crime youtuber in scotland.
As someone who has struggled to adapt their accent,
to be more understandable to a global audience. It is impressive to see them do this with ease.
Other than this there was no trace of the 16-year-old schoolgirl.
A missing person's report was subsequently filed. Five days after Lily disappeared. On
the 10th of october at around midday, two 12 year old boy scouts who were orienteering in
the Marbeck Dune plantation area near Esberg, discovered the decomposing
body of a young female, under a pine tree. Each case is very well researched and scripted,
and the channel merges classical true crime stories of the past,
with modern cases. The branding is impressively uniform, and the video editing is excellent.
That Chapter
That Chapter is extremely consistent in their uploads covering a multitude of true crime cases
the little editing of each video means topics can be covered quickly and consistently meaning
a wealth of content despite the consistency the topics are well researched and scripted
the videos largely rely on the presenter talking to camera instead of complex editing however
the presenting itself is highly engaging with the stories being told in a captivating manner
also the presenter still somehow manages to inject humor into these dark topics
hey you and welcome my name is mike and in this whole video we're off we're off once again right
this time to chicago finally i know a little bit of story that is just
i mean it's um it's absolutely running out of adjectives here that i haven't used before
it's mad this one is twisting it's got love triangles actually more like a love hexadegacon
yeah i had to google it too and it revolves around an ex-nfl player sean gale played for da bears for
most of his career and the people he met in that city the city that never sleeps oh wait no that's
no wait beans no way uh it's windy there somebody should think of a name from one of the people he
met was the yang to his yin or at least that's what you know she thought the topics covered
range from mainstream true crime stories to more uncommon cases this is monsters this is monsters
this as monsters covers more obscure crimes than the mainstream yet they are able to make
each tale fascinating without relying on the grim crimes of say a ted one day or a jeffrey
dahmer the voice over is smooth easy to follow and the facts are broken down into easily digestible
snippets the presenter started the channel after first experimenting with podcasting
this is shown by how comfortable the presenter is with their voice over i'm here to do an update um
on my channel and i want to start off by thanking everybody who's subscribed and watched my videos
and supported the channel i honestly only started this youtube channel to give people another way
to consume my podcast which was audio only at the time but things kind of took off and i'm rolling
with it now trying to do as much as i can to make the videos better and uh put out more content
the storytelling skills are evident throughout and it's hard not to become engrossed in the cases
martin bryant grew up a troubled kid who was never really able to get other people to understand him
after consecutive tragedies left him with too much money and not enough supervision he decided
that the world was against him and needed to be punished this is monsters stephanie harlow
much like emma kenny stephanie harlow does an incredible amount of research for each video
it is apparent that she goes much further than checking mainstream online sources and
gathers intel from books police reports and more an incredibly diligent channel
that has covered a vast array of cases almost any case you can think of has been covered
including even topics of war crimes from world war ii as you may expect from someone whose channel
started out as a beauty channel her appearance is immaculate which aids her skill as a presenter
hello everybody welcome back to my channel and thank you for joining me for today's
video which is the first part of a series based on serial killer
dennis nilsson he confessed to murdering 15 to 16 young men between 1978 and 1983.
