High Yield Savings Account vs Money Market

I'm trying to understand the differences. Apparently Money Market isn't FDIC insured but most of what I'm reading says it "shouldn't" matter. The benefit is easier to access than a HYSA and for me, my credit union already has a product. I hate risk at least in the current economic climate and am leaning more toward a HYSA but everytime I look up one I see bad reviews. Can anyone recommend one or give me their $.02 why a money market would suffice. Have a substantial amount that I don't want to tie up in CDs. Already did that with some. Trying to figure out how and when to invest with at least a good chunk but this doesn't come easy to me. Already got lectured about considering financial advisors and good ones aren't interested in my sub million portfolio.
