I’ve yet to see a "high quality YouTube Show that’s not just copying stuff that’s been researched by real journalists or documentaries on TV, cobbled together with cheap stock photos and/or Blender Animations
I think there are plenty of channels that aren’t just using “cheap stock photos and/or blender animations”, and I can list some examples if you’d like. The first criterion is harder, though, because sci-com by its very nature isn’t going to be original research, so channels in this category tend to be more creative or opinion-based (i.e. multi-hour video essays).
That said, if I’m trying to really get at the gist of what you’re saying, I think you’re looking for shows that have a lot of original work and high production value?
Some random examples I can think of (I’m sure there’s plenty more):
3 Blue 1 Brown
Captain Disillusion
Gamers Nexus (specifically their investigations)
Smarter Every Day
Every Frame a Painting (inactive but with a huge catalogue)
PBS Eons
Technology Connections
Montemayor
Taylor Lorenz
Climate Town
Tantacrul
(this is excluding so many great video essayists and artists since the original comment seems not to be referring to those)

Check out Real Engineering. He does good research and a lot of his own interviews.
Practical Engineering writes hits own material and makes a lot of mini models to demonstrate the effects he is talking about.
Red Letter Media has a ton of movie discussion and analysis.
