The only D&D YouTube content I regularly watch is slowly working through the massive backlog of critical role and the comedy group viva la dirt league's campaign.
I'm almost caught up with Critical Role, but I'm not particularly interested in any other D&D content unless I'm looking to learn something specific, like miniature painting techniques or specific DMing tips. Matt Colville has some useful videos, but again, I don't find him entertaining.
"Serious" videos (like actually discussion of playing the game)
Seth Skorkowsky (really does Call of Cthulhu more than anything else, but his RPG philosophy vids are great for any TTRPG, if you like Matt Colville's general tips for running the game, Seth makes a lot of the same points in a much more relaxed, and I'd say actually funny tone. Similar substance but very different styles. Best way to see the difference is to compare Colville's vid on fudging dice rolls as a DM to Seth's on the same topic. They basically say the same thing but Matt's has too much Matt and leans too much on a dice roll gimmick that just isn't working while Seth has a "reenactment" of his group's Battle with the Black Paladin set to maximum Heavy Metal soundtrack that captures the whole point of the pro fudge side in complete essence).
LegalKimchee aka DM Good Gaming (very new but getting his stride, his recent video on alignment is pretty thought provoking, or makes some reconnections to the system's Moorcock roots)
Monarchsfactory (Dael Kingsbrook, she's got a super encyclopedic mind in both real world mythology/folklore as well as gaming, and she's also good at coming up with random ideas with enough substance for a DM to flesh out in hombrew like the Pact Burner Warlock)
For Laughs (caveat both include humor that can got a little "adult" in themes and language, deerstalker more than Mann Shorts):
Mann Shorts (weekly sketches are a great Sunday laugh though their actual play streams are pretty cool and I think a better model as to how "regular people" can play as opposed to the Critical Role impossible standard, but they're doing a WotC Star Wars stream now)
Deerstalker Pictures (wish they put out more content but I think it's probably a bit pricey to produce)
That depends on what I'm looking for. Puffin Forest and Runesmith are generally the best for the Haha's.
Monarch's Factory is the best for homebrew, head and shoulders above the rest.
When it comes to news and meta-disection, Nerdarchy and Dungeon Dudes are great.
Lastly, when it comes to reviews or advice on DMing, I'm a Seth Skorkowski fan. Don't get me wrong, Matt Coville and Guy from How to be a Great DM are good, but Seth is more fun.
I have a few I am following - but my favorite by a long way is "The Dungeon Run" it is a game rather than a about stream but I love the cast and the story.
The only D&D YouTuber I watch is Matt Coleville; his videos have helped me a lot as a DM.

For Discussing D&D topics I enjoy watching Voidcast Live, they have a stream (that they then post to Youtube, thank goodness because we're in super different timezones) called Talking Void where they chat about things with the community like everyone's experience with a TPK or everyone's most memorable session etc, it's just really great discussion but they also have a couple of other series, one is DM Tips and another is Jasper's Lab which is about creating and prepping content for your campaigns. https://www.youtube.com/c/Voidcastlive/videos
For watching actual play streams, well yeah there's Dimension 20 and Crit Role but my favourite smaller stream is Careful Cantrip, they just pour a lot of love into their game and really try to connect with their community to make sure they're having fun with their content, it's really nice to see. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDVzh4-N62GUfsSoWyLH4Rw
WebDM, Dungeon Dudes, XP to lvl 3, Nerd immersion and Taking20 are all good for what they do and have enough differing thoughts its interesting to see their takes on different subjects
I don't really watch much D&D stuff on YouTube. but TheDM'sArt is great if you want to learn to make physical combat maps or grids quickly and cheaply.

Seth Skorkowsky. He really understands the human side of D&D, and addresses the stuff the rulebooks don’t tell you.

I gave up watching Critical Role. I enjoyed it for a time and then continuing it just felt like a chore down the line.

Yeah, I'm a big Seth fan too! Even if the vid is Cthulhu, watch it anyway.
Matt Colville's earlier content is good for any GM.
Dale from Monarch's Factory is awesome!
Dungeon Dudes is really great as well.
Dingle Doodles and Puffin are fun for light amusement.
Guy from How to be a Great GM is really up and down for me.
Cory from Taking20 is entertaining.

Because of the above (a paraphrase from Orwell) I no longer post to the forums -- PM me if you need help or anything.
I'm currently bingeing Rybonator's campaign called The Red Wagon Inn. I also enjoy his dice making videos. Beware his puns though.
