Eh, I'm sure there's some good people out there but I've been turned off political YouTubers because they always find some way of disappointing you.
But there's lots of good suggestions here I guess, take your pick from those lists.

Anyone have any alternatives to Lily Orchard? I like her blunt attitude and hearing her speak about conservatives with actual contempt and not as if they’re big mean bullies we have to begrudgingly be nice to.
…but I found some…not so good lore about her so I need an alternative person to watch when I want someone to angrily speak of fascists like the scum they are.
But to answer the question myself: Adam Conover, Innuendo Studios, and modern DarkMatter2525 are my lib choices and Hasan, NonCompete, Thought Slime, Hakim, Yugopnik, Second Thought and Luna Oi are my commie picks
George of Patmos, Boy Boy. I've watched some Hakim and Second Thought as well.
Not seen Bes D. Marx, Red Pen and TheFinnishBolshevik mentioned here yet, so yeah those guys too
Luna Oi is a Vietnamese communist party member, she also co-authors some translations of Marxist textbooks from Vietnamese curriculum that she's helping translate into English and are available for free online. She also participates in an all-female/female-adjacent podcast called Half The Sky.
A bit less "YouTube" and more into the podcast area, but ProlesPod is awesome, it's on YouTube, and the "Stalin Eras" series is the best content I've listened to.
some of you were wayyy too interested in hasans dong being displayed at that republican meeting

On this line: Hakim, Hasan Piker, Luna Oi, Second Thought, Yugopnik, Lady Izdihar, Revolutionary Thot, Boyboy + Ididathing... All of those socialist YouTubers seem to orbit the same ideas and views on socialism, with all of them being appreciative of past and present Actually Existing Socialism.
Is there a similar "bubble" for anarchism? Because either I don't get it recommended because I'm a socialist and I'm not exposed to it, or anarchists haven't been able to organize such a sphere

Revolutionaryth0t is cool . They are non-binary

Rohan Davis, he lives in India and goes into Hindu fascism, casteism, colonization, the protests in India, and anti Indian racism.
Florian (Florida Florian) talks about anti romani sentiment and interesting things about Romani history and culture
Ly Luan Marxist ASMR does theory asmr
Prairiefire does amazing anti imperialist video essays, very underrated, him and Rohan are my biggest recs
Other than Ly Luan im not sure if any of the explicitly call themself communists or socialists but Prariefire has a 3 and a half hour video on why Korea should be one country so I have a feeling
Boy_boy and ididathing
I am at the point where most I feel like most socialists on youtube are high on their own supply.
Honestly feels kinda rude to call somebody you respect a breadtuber at this point.

A lesser known creator that I like is Leaping Larry. He's an indigenous (Mikmaq) man living in Canada. He smokes weed and reads Juche books from DPRK.

Noah Samson, Lady Izdihar

I feel like video-essayist is a legacy art form already. Theres so few of them still releasing good things that you cant be picky about the subjects.
