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
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.
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):
(this is excluding so many great video essayists and artists since the original comment seems not to be referring to those)
My favourite journalism outlet is Jung & naiv. They are German but purely YouTube based and donation funded. They do very long interviews with relevant political figures from the chancellor to the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture. Another german creator who made a full blown fiction series with CGI and of a quality that is equal to traditional production companies is Julien Bams 'Songs aus der Bohne'.
