Long form content on Youtube is gaining momentum, and when I say long, I mean long. As I speak, the "video essay" format is slowly becoming one of the most popular methods for making content, where someone will sit down and make an in-depth analysis of a certain person, group, or topic. I haven't seen anyone here make any lists about video Essay YouTubers, so I figured why not go over some of my favorite essays on YouTube? In order to count as a "video essay", I'm going to put up a minimum time of 20 minutes in length, though most videos I list will go well beyond that. Also, obviously being a long video isn't enough, the video has to explore a topic in an in-depth and analytical way that serves to inform viewers in some manner.
