I think his biggest skill is 'asking the right questions', I don't think any other YT science channel does it like he does. His recent Kodak & Submarine videos showcased it very well. He kindles the enthusiasm of people he's interacting with and lets them bring their best. Veritasium videos are good, Likely very high budget, But he prefers to build a narrative around himself - explaining things and his questions to subject matter experts are not as interesting as Destin.
