Gregory B. Sadler

The channel to choose when you want to read a hard book alongside someone who will not skip anything. Sadler, a philosopher by training, built his Half Hour Hegel series as 25 to 35 minute videos that lead you through the whole of the Phenomenology of Spirit, passage by passage, without skipping any of the material. That same close-reading habit runs through thousands of other videos on classic and contemporary philosophy, and he is still posting regularly. It is unglamorous, mostly one person talking through a text, but few channels do more to make you open the primary source yourself.
