Maggie Mae Fish because she’s an expert in what she does, and that is film analysis. If you understand the propaganda model, then her analysis is critical to understanding propaganda in American cinema and its subliminal propagation.

I cannot over-emphasize how important her content is.

I’m not sure if she’s an ML but she says a lot of things that an ML would say.

lil bill (billiam) is another one, though he approaches things from a religious black perspective, and talks extensively about the black experience, emancipation, and the lack thereof. Other than being very entertaining, his video essays do provide valid critique. I think that it’s something that any leftist should watch to aid in self criticism and leftist unity.

Though not a YouTuber, I recently have gotten into “a bit fruity” with Matt Bernstein. It talks about a lot of the nuances that come with being LGBTQ2+. What got me into it was their Israel/Palestine episode.

Im not sure if Matt is an ML, but he sure talks like one.

I'll check her out, I love film analysis through an ML perspective. Makes them so much more fun and meaningful.

The things that she says scares me, and it has implications beyond being harmless entertainment. But like in a good way.
