To be fair, I think vsauce is one of the 'old guard' (heh, being like 5-10 years old as a channel gets you there). Those channels are loved/hated (or at least known) by most of us who were on YouTube in earlier years (2010s), but YouTube has grown and grown, and even the most popular channels like Mr. Beast and Pewdiepie are unknown to many. Take my wife; she watches her subset of videos, YouTube promotes similar videos, and she'll never hear of any of the 'pop' YouTube channels unless she accidentally goes to the trending page.
