My favorite science news site is Science Daily. That's the one I link most often.

There are lots of great YouTube channels. Some good ones include AntsCanada, ExtinctZoo, Mossy Earth, Naked Science, PBS Eons, PBS Terra, SerpaDesign, [Bad username or unknown identity: https://www.youtube.com/@SLICE_Earth]Slice Earth, and Spark. I like a lot of the natural sciences stuff.

I dream of rallying all those independent YT ch. into their own network. We could call it ScienceWorld.Community! ;) ;)

Time after time YT keeps going down the drain. I don't know when people will seriously wake up and stop putting up with it. There's already CuriousityStream. Imagine a PeerTube based community with phpBB forums, a microblog with status updates & Groups & socialized Listography implementation & pinboard & user gallery, newsletter, and other handy features like a YOURLS URL shotener, a pastebin, kanban board to organize tasks, and who knows what else...
All funded by user subscriptions, donations, privacy respecting self-hosted ads, merch, ....

It just requires them all to move from an abusive platform that has most of the solar system using it to something else that isn't going to pay them by view count.

That would be awesome.

You might like thefreaksclub. There's some alternative community building there too.

I don't like it, but it is where most videos end up. :/

I've see a few of those too.
