Came here to add comments about Summoning Salt as well. I don't follow speedruns at all; but, I really love his work and I absolutely echo the sentiment that he will get you emotionally invested in his content.

As an interesting aside, not only does he make great documentary style videos about Speed running, he also happens to be the current (as of June 2021) world record holder for Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!

His video on Mike Tyson punch-out progression was fantastic. It was such a shock when he super casually starts talking about his own contributions to the record like it was anyone else's.
Yeah, I've never been in the speedrun community but that guy puts so much passion in his videos that you feel like you belong in it.

It's incredible, you're completely engaged from the beginning to the end of the video.

I don't wanna give you spoilers, but really check his video about Super Mario sunshine speedrunning.
