Looking for resources that avoid berating people and just simply lay out the data with it's context from professionals in the field.
I don't know if I'm changing or the format of constantly pointing out how stupid someone is just gets more views, but it's getting to be hard to digest. I'm all for learning new things and possible deceptions on claims being made, just without all the sarcasm and personal attacks.
I used to enjoy Thunderf00t, and while his content is probably the same from the beginning I just can't do that condescending speech for 30mins anymore. My brain just starts to tune it out but I want the information. Professor Dave Explains, is probably borderline for me, Adam Something used to be less energetic with sarcasm in his past videos. Basically anyone that seems to have a personal vendetta with the people involved.
I believe I've ran across more positive debunking lately which might be why I want to shift my focus. Some notable mentions: Kyle Hill - Youtube's Science Scam Crisis (more humorous presentation), acollierastro - harvard & aliens & crackpots: a disambiguation of Avi Loeb (spends most of the time actually talking about history versus attacking Avi Loeb), Fraser Cain - A Big Problem with Modern Science Communication (just an all around kind presenter).
I'm open to any field or subject matter, just wanting creators that aren't raising their blood pressure while having to use an extremely incredulous negative tone to get their point across. I love to share the more positive videos with others when a conversation comes up and they've been sucked into a scam video that's twisted the narrative. I know if it's hard for me to watch, then they aren't going to get more than 2 minutes into a video with that type of approach.
Edit: Thank you everyone for all the awesome recommendations! I've added a lot of subscriptions and will make a master-list of all the sources to upload for anyone else looking.

I've watched that channel in the past, been meaning to check out that latest "capitalism is good" video that's hit my feed and caused some controversy from what I've seen. I'm hoping there's just context that's being missed and the video is actually decent.
I never stated I don't personally agree with the premise
If you look up "Capitalism is good Sabine" on Youtube you'll see all the videos I was referring to. I was actually giving the original video the "benefit of the doubt" versus how many counter videos were out there.
yeah I skipped that one for the same reason but I think I'll give it a watch today to see what her point is. Maybe mixed markets? If she's arguing for free market neo liberalism crap then she should probably stick to science.
tldr/w: I probably should've only doe this bit here and on her being a physicist versus a science communicator
Humorously enough, she also has a video for that Basically she talks about:
* Topics she doesn't have a PhD in and has been told she shouldn't talk about
* On being a physicist versus a science communicator
Rest of video not as relevant to your point
Do your own research. But do it right. [Video] Now where's that bot at..?
