I feel like Ethoslab deserves a mention. He’s basically making the exact same great fun Minecraft videos as I, a grown ass man, remember from my literal childhood!

Crash Course
The Wonky Angle for IDM/electronic music coverage
Gtrippin for trip sims
Badempanada for anti-status-quo takes
Jacob Geller for video game content with a touch of breadtube
Cracking the Cryptic would be my top addition to the list. Daily solves of quality human-set variant sudoku puzzles and weekly cryptic crossword solves.
Redlettermedia, Internet Comment Etiquette, Minute Physics and Crash Course.
Rick Beato. His channel banner says "Everything Music" and it's not a misnomer. I am not a musician, don't know a Dorian from a pentatonic, but every time he throws something up I drop everything and sit and listen to it. It's just that interesting.
You should know that he plugs his own music training courses (probably worth it) but has never once taken an outside sponsorship. He covers all genres and all fields of talent in music, and regularly pulls in younger unknowns for interviews as well as household names. He has nothing but praise for effort and talent, but no time for hacks. It is incredibly refreshing.
Even if you are only a listener and not a player, just getting the pro-level views on what things should sound like and even how to listen will take your own music listening up multiple notches. Be sure to look for his "What Makes This Song Great" videos, because they are not reactions, they are dissections: you will hear and learn things about songs you've heard a million times that you never noticed before.
Can't say enough good about this channel. When life sucks, I go listen to some Rick Beato.

Gaming Historian comes to mind. (Caveat: he's no longer doing YT full time, so the uploads are a lot less frequent.) Anyway, he started out as the kind of prototypical kid with Youtube videos, doing a pretty well with the history angle. But over time evolved into a serious documentarion doing top-notch work. Along the same line, DidYouKnowGaming went from an ok channel that repackaged pretty common trivia into interesting but almost click-bait videos, into now being an investigative journalist kinda thing, where they semi-regularly share previously unknown information about old or cancelled games. Still on the games side, Electric Playground has been going for like a quarter-century, since back when it had to be on cable TV instead of Youtube, and Victor Lucas still doesn't suck.
3Blue1brown and Ben Eater make great technical educational videos that, as far as I'm aware, haven't really degraded.
3Blue1brown is amazing!
Here's a range:
Sebastian Lague - game dev and software dev exploration
Pitch Meeting - film summary in short satire comedy form
Sick Animation - fucked up animations
Will McDaniel - comedy sketches using practical effects, puppets and fx makeup
DefendTheHouse - gaming myth busters and community content
FunWithGuru - showcasing easter eggs in games
Pitch Meeting started strong and continuously improved over the years, but recently he has been doing reposts because that is super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Seriously though, home he overcomes the burnout or focuses more attention on pitch meetings as I don't watch his other bits.
He's recently been less active due to an illness and then death in the family. He talked about it in a community post. Either way, I'm glad he found a pace that better fits him.

Air crash reconstructions using flight sim software, with real ATC or CVR audio where available, but no stupid dramatic acting or filling time. Amazing content, hundreds and hundreds of videos
He passed away from a car accident a few months ago.
