I think you might like Isaac Arthur. His videos end up being a bit longer and drier than what you linked above, but they are much more in-depth and well founded.

As he labels his channel: Science and Futurism. He talks about future science, science fiction concepts and transhumanism. I suggest going to the playlists-tab and just picking a theme you feel you are interested in.

I'll definitely have to give him a watch.

Do you think RealLifeLore looks good?

Good enough for the audience he serves, imo. I could be mean spirited and say, that this comment under a video about wierd planets sums up his audience nicely:
KRUSTY
1 year ago
Scientist 1: We found a new Planet !!! What should we name it?
Scientist 2: Bangs his head on keyboard
Scientist 1: Perfect !
3.6K (Upvotes)
But I really shouldn't. He seems to provide a good mix of sensationalism and science/facts, good enough for 10 minutes of distraction and getting ideas to further look into, as far as I can see. Need to be careful with details and predictions he makes and provides, because he's "just" an interested amateur, not someone well educated in what he talks about. Still, worth the time to watch.

This is the internet, bro. You'll lose faith quickly enough browsing YouTube comments - especially those for those with lots of subscribers.

I work in retail. I have resigned myself to the fact that 9 out of 10 people who open their mouth, just aren't particularly bright a long time ago. At least the Internet gives me the ability to point out the stupid, unlike in my job vOv
