Michael Bordenaro is the main one, a vaguely libertarian guy who walks around Florida talking about the housing market bubble: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWSXBs8EzhQ

Since watching his videos I’ve started getting copycat channels popping up in my feed. They’re all a white guy walking through a Floridian neighbourhood and describing the economy collapsing. If they’re good like Michael they spend a fair portion of the video showing off the flora, which is the interesting part of Florida. This particular channel doesn’t do extended shots of neat plants but we get some quality bad landscaping while learning about the condo market crisis. These are a great evolution of the white guy wearing sunglasses in his car and ranting about Obama genre.

Florida is super pretty. You should see the Everglades and Big Cypress National Preserve before they’re gone.

    There’s an interesting couple who tours the US, going to the poorest places in the country. The main guy talks about local history, shows photos from when the towns were thriving, and visits landmarks. I didn’t get any bad vibes from him, he was pretty matter-of-fact when discussing these towns. He always points out they were reliant on specific industries, which were outsourced or moved to another state.

    The videos are just him driving around in his truck, stopping to show interesting things like experimental architecture or abandoned factories. I think he’s heard gunshots in only one video. People are pretty friendly when he interviews them. He avoids doing anything at night, though.
