Sarcasmitron's Ukraine War series is hands down the best thing available on youtube I've come across. Thoroughly researched. Insanely detailed. I really appreciate his cynical, no bullshit approach.

F.D Signifier - Most of his videos are analysis of problems black people face, black media, hip-hop and occasionally anime.
Dude is really smart and makes great points, definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen one of his videos yet.

Foreign man in a foreign land - Same type of content F.D makes but with a point of view of a man born in the Bahamas. Great watch too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0g3DEvvCfc&t=1942s
Honorable mention: Waving the red flag podcast - 3 black dudes with different backgrounds talking about life, relationships and media. Fun watch.

i know im just purely griping but 99% of youtube video essayists/media "critics" are so dogshit with nothing to say. probably 90% are either reactionary cranks or reciting plot/wikipedia summaries (while pretending theyre speaking with a unique voice), and even the best of the rest mostly spew out uneducated, reductive, or pointless opinions
its ok to watch whatever, i watch shit video essays all the time, but its annoying that these people have completely displaced actual critics within the semi-popular media ecosystem
that said heres 2 good channels on film and 2 decent ones on comics

Anything by John Bois on his channel or SB Nation (Chart Party). He approaches sports history in really novel way.
https://www.youtube.com/@BobbyBroccoli/videos
Really well produced videos on academic fraud and STEM industry history. He used the Jon Bois style of 3d presentation which is great.

i had tears run down my face at the end of this video, asumsaus has such a way with bringing the viewers emotions through a roller coaster then bringing it all back at the end over such simple things as a video game. I envy that someone make a video similar and shines a spotlight on a tf2 player like he did with aMsa
