I don't actually think he's that impressive and I don't get people's praise for him. His videos have a lot of mistakes in them and while they're written in a way that dumbs down a topic well for an audience who doesn't understand the subject very well, that's his only major skill that's involved here. He's not especially smart or ingenious, he's just a good communicator. If he was to work somewhere it would be in a communications department, but he probably makes more from Youtube than such a job would provide. That's why he doesn't work for somewhere in the industry, youtube makes him more. (He makes enough money to hire other people to write for him, as we can see in the linked article.)

Tim spends countless amount of time going through the scripts, read throughs, first recordings, and so on, with Patreons. I've been on many of these read throughs, usually with several engineers in the aerospace industry present, and it's meticulous how Tim makes sure any possible mistake is identified and rectified. Even then, once you upload, there's no editing of a video. The goal is to bring the subject down to a level where everyday people can still follow. It's not meant to be a college course, so of course there will be some dumbing down.

  That's just wrong and I think you've been sucked into the "distortion field" that surround him. I jumped to a random spot in this video and found several inaccuracies in seconds in how he described how the cooling process worked.
