I watch reasonably long content typically in the philosophy/sociology space, though not exclusively. Here are some of my favorites:
Philosophy Tube has pretty good rundowns of different areas in philosophy. A year or so ago she came out as trans and that has really elevated the show to a new level, but perhaps also narrowed the focus somewhat.
Alice Cappelle makes down-to-earth video essays about structural and social issues we all encounter. I enjoy hearing her European perspective.
We're In Hell is your pot smoking neighbors lefttube video essay channel that frequently sidetracks about reality TV. I don't know what else to say about that. His takes tend to be well thought out.
jonasceikaCCK makes really good videos about philosophical concepts, their origins, and their counterparts. I would say the same about Then & Now
Unlearning Economics is the left-tube economics channel. There are others that will touch on economics, but this guy is much better informed and presents more thorough analysis than the rest.
Maggie Mae Fish is an excellent media critique video essayist. Her videos tend to reveal the social pressures which shape media into what they are, whether that be patriarchy and bigotry or something more specific to the creator. She also provides different perspectives on (or different readings of) the text that tend to differ pretty wildly from what you'd get on other similar channels.
Noah Samsen, Tara Mooknee, and Tiffany Ferg all make content showing different subcultures on the internet and usually how they're harmful. I like watching channels like these because it helps me understand at least a little of what's going on in the side of the world that participates in that form of social media.

Almost everything here is at least somewhat leftist so this list may not be for you.
