As I anticipated, I've yet to find a replacement for most of the things I enjoyed from Tom.
My source of uniquely emoted monologues of the British persuasion is often somewhat filled by "Lost in the Pond".
My engineering/hardware fix is a mix of many channels, a "newer" channel some may not yet know would be "Inheritance Machinery"
Funky Art projects/style has lately been Ali Spangola, she's a real hoot
Unique Items of a vaguely educational nature would be Objectivity as well as Steve Mould
And Gameshows and the like from DropoutTv, thoughve I've yet to find anything like CitationNeeded.
Tom's a hard guy to replace, but thats not really something I've tried to do anyways. I just get my fixes from many youtubers who also provide unique and wonderful content too.

Seconding inheritance machining. Love the dry humor. In general a very charismatic guy.
If you enjoy that type of content, and don't know him yet, also check out "this old tony". He leans more into the comedy side of things but his videos are also still very informative
I like the cut of his jib, just never connected with any projects of his really.
Do I sense another follower of the man I adopted as my new dad - Adam Savage?
Fair enough. Personally its not really about the projects, he's just too funny not to watch.
I actually don't subscribe to him but his 1 day builds pop up on my recommended a lot so I do watch a bunch of his videos. Absolutely charming man as well.
And then you see Adam Savage geeking out, nearly in tears about gauge blocks in his workshop.
