I'm not a fan of most YouTubers. They just seem to be after easy money and trying to draw hits with some kind of fake or overblown drama and a bunch of rambling- Scotty Kilmer to name a few. But I do like this guy (Humble Mechanic) and I'm not even a VW owner. He seems genuinely interested in teaching.
Favorite YouTuber?

M539 Restorations. Quality content and production. I'm not into heavily modified cars, it is focused on OE+ restorations.
Derrick (VGG = Vice Grip Garage) cracks me up... he does seem to be getting more commercialized, which i suppose is the way it always goes.

I really dislike the "look" that many of the vids have for trying to pull you in--some sort of disgruntled look, or something that just looks dumb. I guess it's the current in thing, and maybe it'll go away, but I find it a turn-off.
My youtube "feed" seems random. I click on random videos and watch what tickles my fancy-- and turn the channel if I get bored.
Humblemechanic is nice, Sarah N Tuned can be interesting for an episode or two. Junkyard Digs and his sidekick Mook can be fun; I kinda dig the revival of old junk (Vice Grip Garage is another good one for that). Thunderhead289 and Dylan McCool can be fun. I Do Cars is fun for engine teardowns on Saturday night. I really only watch Junkyard Digs and I Do Cars on a regular basis though, the rest is more of a "am I in the mood" sort of thing.
Paul Harrell seems good for gun info, Hickock45 can be fun too. I suspect youtube just tries to feed me more content based on what I last looked for, which sometimes is how to fix something.

I like just about all the YouTube guys. ChrisFix is pretty good so is EricTheCarGuy. So is Vice Grip Garage and Thunderhead289 and Junkyard Digs and Junkyard Mook. All of them.

There are a few that I like, and Watch Wes Work is very enjoyable. He has a rural repair shop with a fair number of farm trucks and the like. Sometimes his wife helps out, and his dog is always nearby. Compared to some repair and car videos, there's a real down-home feel to Wes.

REV UP YOUR ENGINES!
Sigh. That guy will create a title as if to indicate he is dying or quitting YouTube just to get hits. He is the worst of the attention whores taking something that would be a ten second video and making it a full half hour.

Wes is a good guy .Humble hard working.Ive learned a lot from watching him.
Thomas Johnson, restorer of antique furniture in Maine, is informative and entertaining in a low-key way. Recently, I've enjoyed watching ER videos out of St. George's Hospital, in London, England. Informative and at times emotional. I find Kilmer to be on target with his message, and I think the pop-up photos are entertaining. But I can see how some people might dislike his style. (Not a big deal for me because he reminds me of my brother-in-law.)
I enjoy Ward Carroll and Rick Beato.
I like South Main Auto
I like WatchJrGo, Watch Wes Work, LegisStreetCars, 2vintage, Junkyard Digs/Mook, etc. They largely have stuck to what I like in videos.
Vice Grip was one of my favorites, and still enjoy it, but he's sort of lost his way some. The folksy talk was fun, but over does it now compared to early videos.
The biggest fall is Westin Champlain, when he does put out a video it's jammed together and absolutely nothing like his early videos. Honestly can hardly stand watching anymore. Kind of like Scotty Kilmer, he's unwatchable also.
