We could find someone on reddit, I think a lot of YouTubers are following r/linux. To ensure the video quality GNU or FSF might need to pay someone to produce it. I have some ideas about the features of emacs the video could highlight.

I started using emacs a year ago and when I started everything was
really confusing, what is a frame, what is a buffer, how to install
packages, what are major and minor modes, etc.. I wanted to give up but
then I saw a 1 hour talk about Emacs that shows how powerful it is. Then
I was hooked. Unfortunately the sound was no good at all and it was way
too long. I think it could be really benefic for emacs to have a 5-10
minutes video that would present Emacs not as an old obscure porgram but
as an amazing fresh looking tool that drastically improves efficiency. I
think people nowadays need an out-of-the-box experience, that's why
promoting doom-emacs or spacemacs might be better than the default Emacs.

I think if the video is well realised it could really be a huge win.
I think it's a very good idea.  Would someone want to produce such a
video?
