What is it you don't like about Veritasium lately?
I'm not the other person but my reason is I feel they're faux-intellectual videos that mostly serve to confuse people and muddy issues. A bit of an embarrassment to science, cloaking their tomfoolery in faux-surprise and scripted wonder.
Can you give an example for me to better understand your claim?
1 way speed of light video.
Warning, you will be much stupider after watching it.
It was a while ago that I noticed the decline in quality, they may have course corrected since then. But there was a point in time where videos had a very sudden and noticable drop in quality. I forget which video it was, but I wasn't the only one that noticed it.
I'm not a regular viewer, so I can't know if there was or wasn't a drop of quality at an unspecified time. If there was, hope they got better.
