It's very difficult to find youtube channels for the books we all like to read and even then hard to find a good reviewer.
Post your favorites or your own.
I'll start by posting one of my favorites who is pretty well known, Better than Food: Book Reviews. He tries to praise books he likes and convince others to read them.

I used to like Better than Food until I realized that he's a massive pseud. All of his "reviews" consist more or less consist of a short biography of the author, an explanation of general plot of the book, very general/sparknotey mentions of "themes" in the book, which make me wonder if he really read them in depth whatsoever, and then several minutes of him reading passages from the book in question. Why the hell would I ever watch this shit? His Recognitions review is pretty much this exact formula, and even sadder, the only quote he reads just so happens to be the top quote in goodreads, as are a lot of the other quotes he reads. It's like he's unable to read literature deeply enough to find passages that strike him personally.
He tries so hard to come across as someone who appreciates literature, and maybe he does, but the fact that he has to create a youtube channel just to show everyone how much he likes books shows that he enjoys the identity associated with literature too much. If you like literature, you read it; you don't have to tell everyone you read. But, that's more a problem with booktubers in general. In short, Better than Food sucks, booktubers suck, stop going on youtube for anything academic related whatsoever besides lectures, and kill yourself.

Link me a single insightful/intelligent video from this guy that shows that he read the book in depth.

his video on Fernando Pessoa to just name one. Also, since you seem ignorant of the fact, his youtube channel is not calibrated to prove stand ins for academic literary analysis. His channel is for convincing young/learning people to read books he has decided are good.

Another one I like but less than BTF is The Bookchemist
https://www.youtube.com/user/Krokgard
he mostly read contemporary american fiction and he gives decent thoughts on them.
>>8008058
his video on paradise lost is cringey as fuck
>>8008087
you should make a better one and link it here

No such thing as a good youtube reviewer. Do you watch booktubers to figure out how to better pretend you've read books when you haven't? Pseud.

Bookchemist is the only decent one imo
