There is a very distinct chapo-redlettermedia fan overlap that I've always been curious about. The shows have similar vibes, even though the subject matter and the people (and the politics, I think) are quite different.
I was always amazed by him, that an elderly person can manage to learn and play competently Cities Skylines, making mods, using it to spread his knowledge, and all that. Then I found out he is fucking few years younger than me
Both Chapo and RLM have a midwestern cynicism to them, which makes total sense with RLM (a little less sense from Chapo given where Will's from). I also don't think RLM's rightwing as some people have thought. The only reasons I've really seen people say that are cause they clearly don't give a shit about identity politics and because Rich Evans may have said some dumb things on stream.

I got into DoNotEat's stuff because he sounded like Mr. Plinkett. I was shocked to find out he was so young. Rocz sounds like a cranky old ML.
The way he talks and his level of knowledge made me think he was a 65 yo city planner/architect that has become completely jaded.

Rich is at his core simply an old school edgy nerd atheist, it's honestly Mike that gives me conservative uncle vibes (still like him though)

RLM is basically the trekkie channel, that's where the overlap comes from
