I’d recommend John Bartholomew as your best bet if you’re trying to improve, and I’d recommend chessbrah if you want entertainment.

I love agadmator's channel. Most videos are around 20 minutes, and in every one he takes apart a game played by GMs or IMs at a level that most advanced beginners and intermediates can understand.
For shorter videos, go for Mato Jelic. He's very entertaining and each of his videos brings you to the "critical part of the game" where he asks you to pause and find the winning move.
For longer instructional videos, John Bartholomew is the way to go. His are often over an hour, but he packs a huge amount of information and analysis into each one.

This is one of the best Chess Youtubers i've ever seen.

I would say agadmator is good for getting into the game and the overview of the game, but there are other smaller channels like Hanging Pawns and Josarov that I would recommend too, along with the popular ones. In addition, as someone here have already commented, I think John Bartholomew’s videos cover everything very well, and he is quite a strong player himself. There is also thechesswebsite which is very informative in openings, and also ChessTalk which also provides information on openings and traps which are interesting, at least in my opinion.

IMO the best two sites on youtube is the Saint Louis Chess Club and PowerPlayChess.  Danny King (PPC) is an English GM with loads of videos on players past and present, tournaments past and present, and he has a great knack for explaining the games.  The SLCC has content geared for all levels (the categories are beginner, intermediate, advanced) on openings, middle-games, endings, with a variety of GMs, IMs, and NMs to present the topics.  You could spend hours on hours watching these two channels and not run out of quality content.  And chess24 has some outstanding content, too.

NM robert ramirez is seriously a legend. He got full chess course for free consisting of over 200 videos. FOR FREE. Also the lessons are very well explained and has helped me a lot.

QuirkyGuru, I have no idea why I'm on that list. I've never posted a single video on any service on any topic. That I'm listed with some YouTube heavyweights has me laughing. I have done nothing on this and I'm here with people who work hard at it. Just goes to show you, there is no justice in this world. My apologies to everyone else who is listed.

'Dr cans clinic'. The name may not sound like a chess channel but in my opinion it is one of the best chess channel. After every video of him, you feel like you learnt something.

I love the high quality content Irena Krush has put on youtube recently. Also, old but gold, the middlegame series of videos by "miss Strategy" Anna Rudolff can still be found on youtube and is great material on strategy for 1200 - 2000 rated players.
