I have a younger sibling who watches YouTube all day, and I have just installed (among other things, including Fedora KDE!) FreeTube on their laptop, and it has a convenient profiles feature to separate, for instance, educational and not so educational content.

What are some good sciencey channels that are easy to follow and are run be nice people (rather than bots or similar)? I've got SciShow, Clint's Reptiles, and a few others already, but what are some good ones that you all know? They are currently interested in animals, particularly sea creatures and reptiles, but other topics are fun too (history, chemistry, CS, whatever are all good!)

I wrote a bunch below, but I think most of them are probably aimed at a bit older audience, but I figured I would still post it as I really enjoy the channels and perhaps someone will like them :) (I think minute earth and Steve Mould could be suited for someone a bit younger)

For biology I really enjoy 'Sage the Bad Naturalist'
for engineering 'Stuff made Here'
physics/electricity 'alpha phoenix' (I think his videos are quite technical but they are really good)
Generally interesting/physics 'Steve Mould'
Minute physics, Minute Earth and Minute food
For math '3blue1brown'

Just checked, and the kings of science communication (mythbusters) have a youtube channel with old episodes chopped up as individual myths: https://youtube.com/@mythbusterstvshow
