I think your comment/complaint is indicative of something I've mused about for a while in regards to science articles - I wish there were a level of common scientific publication somewhere between "novice" and "expert".
I don't need it explained to me like I'm five, but I would like it explained to me like I'm a curious student who's taken a course or two on the subject.
Veritasium is definitely more at the beginner level. I'm not terribly familiar with Vsauce but my impression is that he's even more mass-market. On YouTube, PBS Spacetime tries to be mass-market but ends up requiring some background knowledge, for better or worse. :D
