Now that I express it, it feels kind of obvious; anything with a small enough subculture will start speaking English for it. specifically I’ve really stopped watching german minecraft videos, and am only in English-Speaking Discord servers, and maybe this is only so non-obvious to .e because Germany is relatively big. I’ve heard smaller countries don’t even have literally every TV programme dubbed in the local language.
once you start watching movies with original sound, you never want to go back to dubbed. i can not even stand listening to something in the next room, because you hear so much that it’s recorded in a studio and not on the set.
i had the same journey as you on yt. I used to like a German YouTuber, bit they changed at some point in a direction im Not a fan of and i moved to English speaking ones. this is not even because of the language itself, simply because otherwise i have not find somebody i like
