Advice and Resources for PbtA? (ttrpg.network)

I'm going to pause my 5e game for the month of July and try something else. I'm thinking about a PbtA game. I ran a few sessions of Masks years ago and it went okay. I'd never played anything that wasn't a d20 system and I remember feeling Masks was bending my brain a bit.

Do you guys have any suggestions for a quality actual play I could watch to try to get a handle on the system? Is there anyone out there that talks about PbtA the way a thousand people on YouTube do about D&D?

I was considering Avatar or Glitterhearts if it makes a difference, but I think that anything PbtA would help me.

It often helps to watch the actual play from the author of the game. For example, on YouTube you can find the games of the creator of Blades in the dark or Brindlewood Bay.

Thanks. I did find an actual play Magpie did for Avatar and a few how to videos. There's a few for Glitter Hearts too, but there's definitely not much compared to all that there is for DnD.
