Maybe I'm going too old school here but the first 2 that came to mind were CommunityChannel and Phillip Defranco

Still with Phil, my god it has been so long. I was there for the lost mountain dew video. My interest goes up and down, he can go through periods of very celeb focused or very america focused which can be boring but overall I like him and what he creates.
He needs to stop with the "news studio" shit and commit to something, let it grow and see where it ends up. I have lost like totally awesome, sourcefed and now rogue rocket.

Thinking about it now, it's been a long time since I saw a Goldvision video. I loved that guy and his calming contemplative gameplay, I was even on board when he decided to just never kill anyone or any npc in a video game ever again (but still play stuff like multiplayer shooters and GTA Online).
I miss his stuff, gonna go see if I've been missing out

Kurzgesagt went hugely downhill, I'll still watch the occasional video from them, but most of what they do now is super speculative tenuous science with 5 min of sponsored content.
I remember way back in the day I enjoyed laci green for her sex ed content, but she just suddenly went super right wing.

You probably just got older.
But to be fair after the whole sjin incident it was not the same

Quite a few, but off the top of my head, SecondThought. I really enjoyed his accessible antiwork/breadtube video essays for a while, even though they got a little repetitive. It was really hard to find good anti-corpo information.
I'd even watch them with my wife and they'd feel somewhat galvanizing right before heading off to a really crappy job I was stuck in.
What did it for me is when he got kicked off Nebula for his comments on a podcast, where he basically went full tankie and joked about the situation with Israel/Palestine, basically saying all the murdered Israeli civilians "deserved it."
I refused to let myself be influenced anymore by worldview of someone who would view other human beings in such a way. Apparently I was even late to realizing it. It's a gross feeling.
