so I'm learning the game here and usually learn things well from videos. whats people's suggestions for a good YouTube channel to learn from?
Over the last couple of months I have been watching content by
NM Robert Ramirez
GM Daniel Naroditsky
GingerGM (Simon Williams)
All of these have some content for beginners and I find their teaching style good too.

Not "as if he's teaching new players". He is actually teaching new players.

I'm a big fan of NM Robert Ramirez so be sure to check that one out. Really those four are all great so you won't go wrong with whichever one you like the best.
A few YouTube channels here...

The videos here are better than their counterparts on YouTube. Some of the same people too.
If you want to learn more about a specific opening nobody is better than HangingPawns on Youtube. He goes in depth on pretty much every major opening. And for more general knowledge and learning more I like chess vibes on youtube. He explains things really well!

Chessbrah and their building habit series is by far the most helpful thing I've watched as a beginner. Also Gotham chess is excellent and v entertaining

Besides the already mentioned above Chess Vibes is so good for learning as well. Lauren and Nelson have been super helpful for me.

Haha shameless self-promotion.
I don't watch much chess youtubers, I did enjoy Gothamchess's WC recaps though.

All of the above recommendations from @Varooka
Plus there is a ChessNetwork Beginner to Chess Master series here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSA9se6t82I&list=PLQsLDm9Rq9bHKEBnElquF8GuWkI1EJ8Zp
NM Ramirez also starts off with the absolute basics and gradually gets more advanced.
Another Hispanic American National Master with a lot of good chess content is Nelson Lopez: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChDxbOUQRXEZ1zdI14Zyx9w
Chess Dojo is run by two IMs and a GM and has very good advice https://www.youtube.com/c/ChessDojo
Also good is Hanging Pawns https://www.youtube.com/c/HangingPawns both for learning openings and for learning endgames
Big Mio does some very good videos on openings including some rare ones like the Latvian Gambit that other authors don't dare to teach
https://www.youtube.com/c/MiodragPerunovicOfficial
A good set of videos for beginners is John Bartholomew's Chess Fundamentals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ao9iOeK_jvU
For more advanced chess there is some good content from the World Champion here: https://www.youtube.com/c/themagnuscarlsen/videos
The most popular chess channel on YouTube is Gothamchess https://www.youtube.com/c/GothamChess he is a strong IM and has a good presenting style, I have learned a lot from him over the past year but still have lots more to learn.
Agadmator is good for getting a quick understanding of many of the classic games, for example he explains the Opera game in less than 6 minutes here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-2FpiEzeYI
For general chess study, the St Louis Chess Club has hundreds of good lectures by chess masters including Grandmasters like Akopian and Seirawan https://www.youtube.com/c/STLChessClub
Finally WGM Keti Tsatsalashvili does not have many videos yet but I'll promote her anyway because her videos are by far the most pleasant way to learn chess: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wr4QosHOzs0

For beginners I would pick John Bartholomew's Chess Fundamentals from KevinOsh list without doubt.

BotezLive
My top suggestions include Gotham Chess(Levy Rozman), Daniel Naroditsky, Chess Talk(Jeetendra Advani) & GMHikaru
Agadmator & John Bartholomew are also great, however I'm not too much of a fan of lecture style videos in terms of chess learning. Granted, I have watched many of them and have learnt from them as well, but in terms of chess, entertainment is also an important factor to remain hooked and motivated which is why I highly recommend Gotham Chess for sure.
