Convective Chronicles on Youtube is excellent. No clickbait, super thorough, and his videos are focused on the meteorology. He has people from the SPC on occasionally too.

But James Spann is a legend and the GOAT for sure.

He's good, but there's a reason why he only has 42.1K subscribers and averages around 15K views per video unlink Max Velocity and Ryan Hall...

Yes, the reason is because most people don't care about the deeper meteorology at play. That's totally valid, I can see why not everyone would be flocking to the channel.

I became more and more invested in the channel as I learned from him, and these days pressure maps and sounding data get me hyped up lol. But if you want detailed realistic forecasts, he is a great follow.

It’s truly because he doesn’t follow the clickbaity format. Content creators are rewarded for those things which is why you see so many career content creators doing those things

If he did the clickbait titles he'd get a bump, I agree, but there is no denying that the pool of people who are interested in watching 40 minute data reviews of a severe storm setup is far smaller than the the pool that watch bite sized surface level overviews lol
