Brodie is my favorite Linux YouTube. I personally don’t agree with your statement about full of unnecessary fluff. However, some of the videos are a bit useless, but I have to come across any YouTuber or content creator in general who produces only good stuff. Besides that, his videos are educational, entertaining and on the point. He often does historical documentation too and covers some drama as well (to be fair, the drama stuff is just for fun and he does it a bit too often in my opinion).
Brodie also plays games and streams, but that is something I never watched and was not interested into watching. I rather play games myself.
