10 YouTube Tech Influencers You Should Know

Who doesn’t have a YouTube channel or two that they simply can’t live without? Doesn’t matter if it’s your boo or your bff, just about everybody has a handful of YouTubers they love, subscribe to, and watch regularly.

For me, it’s the natural hair journey of women who’ve decided to ditch the perms for something more interesting when managing their natural tresses. I can’t begin to tell you how many well-produced and informative channels I’ve discovered.

But for tech, content creators have an even larger audience as viewers stumble across the videos while they search for a product name (iPhone for example) or brand on YouTube. And of course, there are YouTubers who reached who have built a loyal audience and following.

Naturally, at UrbanGeekz, we are keen on all around nerdism. So, we thought it would be fun to compile a list of 10 tech influencers we think you should know about or subscribe to. Keep in mind, this is not the definitive list, nor will everyone listed match your choice, but they are what we found is poppin’ right now.
