Cons
- A LingQ copycat but only video. No distinction between Spain and Latin America Spanish and the selection appears more limited.

one of the only apps I do use — that also provides videos like you mentioned in your title — is FluentU. It gives you an explore page of Chinese video content that's comprehensible at your level, even as a beginner. The videos are only about 1-5 minutes long, so very doable, and you can click on words in the subtitles to add them to flashcards.
FluentU is what I use for video content — you get an explore page with videos that are like 1-5 minutes long, so things like TV show scenes, movie clips, trailors, Chinese commercials, music videos, etc. They come with dual language subtitles that are clickable, so you can click on words you don't know to add them to flashcards.

An app I personally use for content and immersion is FluentU, it has short videos (like, 1-5 minutes long each) based on your level. ... I've used it for 6+ years, and actually edit for their blog now too.
Two more I'll make are LingQ and FluentU. I've used both for over six years and actually edit for FluentU's blog now. LingQ is for immersive reading. It gives you short stories and articles for your level. FluentU is for videos. It gives you an explore page for videos at your level.
Fluentu - Basically watching youtube videos and learning from their curated lists. I used this for quite some time.
If CI works for you but you also like the idea of some active study methods, I'd highly recommend FluentU. It's an app/website that gives you an explore page of videos that are comprehensible for your level, but they also have clickable subtitles, so you can click on words you don't know to see their meanings and example sentences and add them to flashcards if you want.
