Channels with absolutely zero drama that are still active and I would describe as " interesting content made by someone who cares about it" :

  • cracking the cryptic: solving sudoku puzzles twice daily

  • chessnetwork: explaining famous chess matches and occasionally playing online chess, but with none of the bro culture that has grown up around chess recently

  • Folding ideas: great video essays about film or modern phenomena like NFTs

  • Technology connections: already reccommended, but in depth explanations about how electronics work

  • Language Jones: videos about linguistics and learning new languages

  • Numberphile/StandUpMaths- interesting math videos

If you like gaming YouTubers, there are plenty who try their best to stay drama-free.

RTGame, Spiffing Brit, AmbiguousAmphibian, Dunkey, Game Grumps, General Sam just to name a few.

i would add tomatoanus for speedruns. really appreciate that he makes a point to remind people to be kind to themselves.

I prefer EazySpeezy for speedruns, personally. He's no-nonsense, straight to the point.

I've seen a lot more chessnetwork drama than you'd believe

Really! That does surprise me

Actually I mixed them up with a different channel. Hard to differentiate them by name when half of them are "Chess" plus some other word lol

Vsauce2 has some amazing ones, the videos about problems with the justice system are well worth a watch

I'd like to add to the list a few entries on history and physics channels:

-The Histocrat: in depth video essays regarding the history of many neolithic to bronze age cultures around the world as well as the history of several mythological creatures.

-Fall of Civilizations: podcast describing a detailed picture of many ancient cultures around the world, from their beginings to their golden ages to their fall.

-North02: EXTREMELY detailed videos (sometimes bordering on documentaries) about many stone age cultures and topics, I loved his essay on neanderthals and just how long it was.

-Trey the Explainer: great YouTube channel talking about many topics that often dive into history. I recommend watching his video on the first joke in history.

-Angela Collier: AMAZING channel regarding physics with the great Angela Collier, if I remember correctly she has a PhD and has explained many physics topics history of physics and physics as an academic field.

-PBS SpaceTime: I think this one is WAY more recognized but in case it is not, this channel is physics oriented and also provided very detailed explanations of many topics of the field.
