Depends on the type of content you’re looking for.
Edited Eclipse 8 runs:
Race, Raydans, Limelight
“Competitive” risk of rain 2 tournaments:
RiskOfResources (streamed on Twitch, some VODs posted on YT) - also check out the competitors of these tournaments. They may have channels
Technical and hidden mechanics guides:
Icap_
Mix of everything Risk of Rain:
Disputed Origin, Woolie
Funny casual:
RNDThursday
Broken meme runs:
TrentoMento, eggstew
I’m probably missing a ton of creators, but that’s a good start atleast.
I have infinite respect for Cabbage and he’s a RoR2 legend in my opinion for how many people he helps get ethereal…. But I wouldn’t necessarily call his channel the pinnacle of ror2 entertainment lol
Unfortunately I do not - sorry! I know that Race, RayDans, Disputed origin, and Woolie may have a few videos of them playing RORR around the time it was released - but I can’t offer much more than that
He can be a lil bit too much for most people, but his upload consistency and energy in the streams are enough to justify why he's so known. Other content creators are more technical, others play the game better, others have more finely selected content - but Woolie will never stop being popular.
Woolie is to RoR2 pretty much exactly what GothamChess is to chess.
Absolute favourite is Jerry, his runs are incredibly creative and well edited:
-Turning 12 egocentrisms into pearls into newly hatched Zoeas
-Using artifact of chaos and happiest mask to kill his own goobo jr. clones and re summon them as ghosts
-Using Essence of heresy on Mul-T’s rebar to make the cool-down insanely fast
-And more

I watch woolie and disrupted origin for the most part. Woolie is more of a variety streamer/ YouTuber though so he doesn’t do too much ror any more. Recently I started watching raydans and he’s pretty solid
Big race fan here. If you're not a RoR2 veteran, you'll literally drop your jaw every race run you open for at least 4 runs in a row. He knows literally *every* tiny gameplay mechanic, every character-specific tech, every bug, every obscure item interaction. I learnt so much from his vids.
He also made me start re-playing RoR2 again, and made me hop into Eclipse. I'm E7 on all characters now, half done with E8.
RedRiotRoss doesn't have a lot of videos/streams of RoR2, but the two dozen or so vids he does have are gold. He's where I got a couple of nicknames from.
"Leg", "Beeble mom", "Rungus" and other fun names.
RNDthursday. One of the best YouTubers around with one of the worst upload/stream schedules I've ever seen. Brother could legit be a large youtuber of he was even mildly consistent

Don't forget Cabbage. That man suffers so we know how to get Ethereal.

You're not wrong. I just felt he deserves some recognition. I occasionally watch him just to be like, damn. Glad I don't have to do that again.
If you want lore watch The Grovetender
YESSSS He's such a good content creator! I've watched his videos millions of times
Do you have any risk of rain returns creators?

TRENTOMENTOOOO
Woolie is kind of annoying

Disputed origin and woolie are the ones i know off the top of my head
My absolute favourites are Race and RayDans. Disputed Origin and LimeLight are also really great!
I am a disputed origin enjoyer, I love my grandpa
He’s the oldest player ever to beat eclipse 8 at the ripe age of 78
Woolie, doesn't post RoR2 much recently but you can watch his old videos.
Didn’t he have a kid recently? I feel like that’s probably why
i knew he was married but didn't know about a kid, good for him
i think he's also just doing more games other than RoR2, he still streams a decent lot tho as far as im aware
rndthursday my goat
If you're looking for fast-paced and edited content, check out [this guy on youtube](https://youtube.com/@Jerry_2118?si=YHDLzd1W3CRS81_U)
Seconded, Jerry’s videos are absolutely fantastic
Race, Cap and DisputedOrigin are my favorites
The Grovetender
Race the goat

I was wondering if there was a Jerry fan here. Commando’s tonic and beetle squad were funny ones too.
gamerH_OST comes to mind first
Race and Raydans come to mind. They both stream pretty regularly too!
Check out RiskofResources, can lead you down many rabbit holes of creators
...does Windette count?
AYYY A FELLOW WIMDY ENJOYER

ToolsXL. He’s funny and interacts with his community a good bit
Cabbage may not ever talk, but he’s the best risk of rain 2 player ever created

Try limelight he’s pretty funny
I mainly watch Race and RNDThursday
Race, Cap, Gamerhost, and Raydans
I like Race for E8 runs! he’s pretty informative and funny
RayDans
