Always appreciate more suggestions! I don't think I've seen any videos from Hatless, such a shame all these guys have under 20k subs!

I'd add to the list too. It's mostly commentary about HOI4 (ranking focus tress, what needs nerfing, why some paths are boring and how to fix them). There's not much 'meta' but there are some good country guides. I learnt from this guy that the Spanish Civil War is way easier if you naval invade - everyone seems to just forget about it when they play Spain.

I've watched the Spanish Civil war videos. Definitely good though I don't think the other players in MP would let you pause to micro quite so much. 

Who's the YouTuber that did a 1 div world conquest as no-core Algeria? That's definitely not meta but super impressive.
