Personally I've probably watched hbomberguys essay on pathologic at least 10 times
Vijay Prashad absolutely roasting David Harvey (35:50), in person and at Harvey's own book launch no less. The cojones on that guy!
I had planned to repost this for 9/11 again, but here it is a few days early
Cybersocialism: Project Cybersyn & The CIA Coup in Chile (Full Documentary by Plastic Pills)
I only recently encountered this documentary and holy shit is it well done for a YouTube video. The script and the editing etc. is top-notch and on par with some of the better low budget documentaries I've seen except this guy did it on a shoestring and essentially for free.
It's criminal how few views this video has.
Haha yeah for someone who tries to never watch Youtubers or steamers I was thinking about how bleak it is to have a YouTube video a bunch of times but then there's this.
Combine it with the podcast version and I've probably been through this lecture dozens of times
Its kind of short but every time I get sad I load up this clip of Northernlion messing around with spray paint. It never fails to get a smile out of me. I have probably seen it a billion times.
The other one is the opening trailer to Final Fantasy 14: Endwalker. I cannot put into words how life changing that game was for me and quite a few people I know. I would avoid watching the trailer as its kind of loaded with spoilers but at the same time you have zero context. I think I watched this thing on loop for 3-4 days straight.
I see some long video essays here. I never rewatch video essays but I watch wee snaw at least once a week
Its my favourite video
edit: i forgot about I haven't lost my virginity

Also I usually just leave this playlist on when I need background noise for the last 11 or so years.
Phil Ochs and some well done furry animation? Don't mind if I do! https://youtu.be/VXMIwLAxKZE?si=v1tvTLZt8_Zvqq0w
Does this count?
