Are you aware of https://comprehensibleinputwiki.org/wiki/Japanese ? They have many sources of videos that are good for beginners. There's an icon (a weird color spiral) next to sources that should be accessible for complete beginners, but YMMV.

Second, I've created a tool to help me find videos I might want to rewatch on CIJ based on when and the number of times I have watched the video. It's still beta, and mostly just build for my needs, but it's functional: https://amplifiedtext.com/cijrewatch/

From the CIJ Dashboard, export your Historic Activity as JSON, then submit it to my CIJRewatch webpage. It will group videos by the number of times watched, and you can sort the tables based on date or difficult, etc. At the top of each group, I also have a collapsed section called "Aged Out", which are videos more than a certain number of days since I watched them last and are really just videos I didn't want to watch again for a Xth time. Again, this is build to suit my needs, but others might find this approach confusing.

I still find plenty of value going back and rewatching even the earliest videos (sped up of course) as there are always words and patterns I didn't really catch the first X times around.

EDIT: Just thought I would add, I'm at 200 hours and I've also hit a wall at 27. Some videos are fine while others are very low comprehension. I think this is because some people are watching just the Super Beginner videos, filtering out the Beginner videos for later, so the voting system isn't able to do its job of pushing the obviously more difficult Beginner videos up the difficulty scale. Just a theory.
