Here are some YouTube channels that have good philosophy content. If a YouTube philosophy channel is popular but not listed here, chances are it's bad. Crash Course Philosophy, for instance, is bad. So is 8-Bit Philosophy. Jordan Peterson and PragerU are *very* bad.

Why are these channels considered to have good philosophy content? Why should I believe you when you say that if it isn't here then its "bad"?

I’ve found Carneades.org, on YouTube, to be a useful introduction to many relevant topics in philosophy. For example, I used the channel’s ‘100 Days of Logic’ series, along with Hurley’s introductory text, to learn predicate logic.

The information presented is at least consistent with what I’ve found in the SEP and IEP, and while the creator’s own arguments and attitudes are interspersed throughout the channel, they are usually made distinct from instructional and informational videos.

Surprised to not see PhilosophyTube on this.

But otherwise very excited to delve into all these! Thanks so much for compiling!
