I've previously listed the various YouTube channels that I subscribe to [1]. All of them are "regular people", and nearly all of them I've found organically, by YT's suggested content. There are many others who I know of but don't follow because I have only a limited amount of time I'm willing to spend on watching videos. I agree, though, that almost none of this ever appears on the front page. I posit that this is because they are relatively niche interests: what I see on the trending list is pop-culture content, which is so called because it appeals to a very wide demographic—and thus would be expected to appear on the default front page, precisely because there is no additional information to go by on more specific content that the viewer might be interested in.
