I really enjoyed Veritasium for a while, but it seems like he's fallen into this trap. Click-baity, cookie-cutter videos.
On the other hand, while I didn't follow Tom Scott particularly closely, I always enjoyed his stuff, and when I learned that he called it quits, I was legitimately happy for him AND his followers -- better to quit while you're ahead than to wear out your welcome.

Blame YouTube's recommendation algorithm, not the creators.
