I think i made it through about 3 minutes of a pipe smoking video when i first started and the guy just kept droning on and on about nothing at all, that was enough for me.

Beware of YouTube/bad advice. I mean you can get the basics, but a lot of them say nonsense. Theres one YouTuber that claims you have to dress a certain way to smoke a pipe lmao.
My "smoking" skills increased dramatically after I found his channel.
Great narration of scary stories:
HorrorBabble
EnCrypted Horror
Both are great for listening entertainment and relaxing with a pipe.

Bremen Pipe Smoker is the only one I really watch much of anymore. He can drone on but it's usually about history or specifically tobacco rather than general musings on life I frankly couldn't care less about. When I do feel like that kind of video I'll dig up an old Matches860 I haven't seen but those are sadly becoming rarer and rarer. Pipe Appeal is one that caters to a really specific pipe niche of "mood" that I like on occasion.
When I was new at this I had an insatiable hunger for finding every tip and trick I could about pipe smoking but looking back on it 90% of it was either bunk or not really suitable for me. I had much more success just experimenting on my own and finding what worked that way.
As for YouTubers not related to pipe smoking it'd be too many to list. Some standouts:
Homemade Documentaries: well done original history documentaries particularly on the US space program
Battleship New Jersey: Official channel of the museum/memorial, their curator does great vids on niche topics.
James Hoffman: Coffee snob par excellence.
Townsends: Very comfortable vids about life and cooking in the 18th century.
Steve1989: One of a kind guy who reviews, and often tastes(!), very very old military rations.
PLASMO: Pretty indepth but enjoyable videos about model making with some really impressive skills on show.

Oh yeah. I forgot James Hoffman!
I forgot James Hoffman and Battleship New Jersey. Very interesting. My wife and I both like Lost in the Pond, videos by an expat Brit in Chicago.
As others may say, Daddy Hoff.
But in all seriousness, he's one of the greatest channels to ever grace the YouTubes. Calm and serene, tasteful and elegant, scientific and informative, and lastly - unbiased. Just a real wealth of knowledge.
I had never heard of him before, popped on a recent video out of curiosity, and was extremely surprised to hear a slow talking Foghorn Leghorn telling me about how he forbade his wife from visiting Starbucks.His entire schtick. From his “accent” to his hats. None of it is for me.
When it comes to the YTPC channels, my favorites are the ones that quit producing more videos.
It's crazy. My step daughter would watch videos of people traveling, influencers I believe is the term. I told her instead of sitting on the couch watching people live, go out and live YOUR life. Same with my step son watching YouTube videos of people playing video games. My boys didn't fall into that culture. I won't allow video games in my house and they didn't get a phone until they got a license. There aren't payphones around anymore, so they had to have something in case of emergency.Much like sports, I'd rather be doing the thing rather than watching someone else do it. I was clued in by my daughter that there are actually reaction videos to someone else watching movies.
Beans316 - regular guy talks pipe tobacco, some pipes, but under 10 min once a week and no live crap.
TheHoofGP - trimming and fixing cow hoof(s). relaxing & satisfying.

I really enjoy muttonchop piper. Easy guy to listen to.

If you understand yourself with Spanish you could watch "Locos por el Asado"
