I've been really enjoying the Youtube channel Drawfee lately, after spending a couple of years seeing it around and being confused about what it actually is or where to start watching.
So! Drawfee is a group of four artists (plus occasional guests) who draw pictures based on prompts. Sometimes they draw the art live and discuss it as it happens, and sometimes they draw the art in advance and then talk over the sped up recording (a "speed draw"). In either case, they're very cheerful, creative, and funny, and encouraging of each other's art. The vibe is cheerfully bisexual, as is most of the team. There are also extra channels and spinoffs, but I haven't watched much of those.
You can theoretically start anywhere, but some of the videos have a lot of in-jokes and references to previous videos which can be confusing, or are more about the artists as people which can be kinda boring if you don't know them enough to care. I tried starting from the beginning, but while the initial videos aren't bad they aren't as good as the later ones. And there are over a THOUSAND videos.
So in the end I just watched whatever was popular or showed up in my feed and figured out the in-jokes over time.
But if you want somewhere specific to start that's fun and low on in-jokes:
4 Artists Design Characters from the Same Description: Everyone designs a character from the same character prompt. The results show everyone's style and personality pretty well. One of the characters ends up being non-binary and everyone rolls with that.
( Just some extra info )
