What are the most qualitative YouTube channels for speedrunning?

I can't stop watching the videos of Summoning Salt and Karl Jobst but I'm struggling to find other creators as qualitative as them.

I just found this article with a list of 13 YouTubers specialized in Speedruns: https://blog.favoree.io/articles/best-youtube-channels-about-speedrunning/ But I didn't really find something at the level of the two creators I mentioned. Any recommendations?

Ive watched smallants smo world record progression like 15 times

Greece

At first i was watching Apollo legend but sadly it passed away before 3 years...

Then moved to GladJonas and SRF ( SpeedRunFais) both channels are entertaining to watch and then i got lucky because YouTube recommended a Karl Jobst video and oh boy i hit a Jackpot Super interesting because it breaks down the runs and his videos are pretty much well-made Masterpieces so yeah i stuck with it ever since

Recendly i'm looking at Abyssoft it's pretty good too and goes into detail as well.

I'm uncertain if he plans to continue making content regularly or not but ThaRixer has made a handful of fantastic speedrunning documentaries. I used to really enjoy Karl Jobst, and he has a great way of making videos, but I'm exhausted with his tendency to focus on awful cases of cheating for attention because it perpetuates the idea that cheating and speedrunning are linked/frequent, of course, I want it to remain as rare and shunned as possible but it feels like it's still expanding due to that branch of content.

I can think of a few others actually! Storster, Speed Docs, DoctorSwellman, and EZScape! All amazing content creators on speedrunning!
