Help Needed: Which YouTube Channels Do We Contact?

Bringing Automation to YouTube

In the week leading up to our Steam Early Access release (March 12th) we are going to invite YouTube channels to try
out the game. Our goal is to get good coverage of the game out for its launch, hence we will place a "soft" embargo,
i.e. we can't enforce it, but like people to play along, of March 12th 17:00 CET on any content release like videos & stuff.
We're not only going to contact the big channels but the smaller ones who do not get that much attention usually, too.

In order to find good channels and hidden gems to invite into the closed beta on Steam, we need your help.
What YouTube channels do you frequent that you think should have a go at the game?


Our guideline for what channels are "large enough":

~1000+ Subs for channels that have covered Automation before
~2000+ Subs for channels that focus on car-sim games or tycoon games
~10000+ Subs for channels that focus on real-world cars
~10000+ Subs for general gaming news/reviews/letsplay channels


Post your suggestions in this thread in the following format:

Format: [Channel Name] - [Channel Content] - [Subs] - [Covered Automation] - [Language]
Example: FailRace - Car Games - 60500 - Yes - English

Re: Help Needed: Which YouTube Channels Do We Contact?

I would say, try https://www.youtube.com/user/RoosterTeeth
They take a very fun approach on gaming, but they are all about not being serious. But just them playing the game shows the game to a potential huge fanbase.

On another note, you might want to try and get CarThrottle to make a post about you guys.

I would love to review it for you guys... But according to your criteria, I am a couple hundred subscribers short. You shouldn't limit yourselves to such highly subbed channels.

Re: Help Needed: Which YouTube Channels Do We Contact?

I would suggest The Mighty Jingles. 345,605 subscribers
He normally does let's play videos of World of Tanks and War Thunder, but has also reviewed various other games and upcoming games in development stages.
He is a very nice guy and also funny. He may not be a car guy per se, but there is an overlap on the technical side of tanks, planes, ships etc, they all have engines :p

Abgefahren! - Car Games - 4600 - yes - German

I suggest the above mentioned german YouTuber Abgefahren! because he makes already videos of this game and they are liked a lot by the visitors of his channel.

I think you should try to contact WhyBeAre. He's a nice guy, and he's already done videos of all the scenarios. No more videos have been made though.
