I watch Big Think regularly. They have short videos with quite a wide variety so speakers and I feel as though I've gotten some pretty good insights from their videos.

Three channels I'd describe as insightful without any feeling of exaggeration are Winston Sterzel's and Matthew Tye's vlogs on living, working and travelling in China. I had very little idea about Chinese society earlier except what's portrayed in media, but now I feel a lot more informed thanks to their videos.

It depends on how you define `insightful`

If I just want to satiate my curiosity and have free time I watch Vsauce. Occasionally I watch Numberphile, 3Blue1Brown & Computerphile, but these are more math/CS related. Enjoy!

Shameless plug here. :-) I wrote an article about YouTube channels for entrepreneurs which did pretty well on Medium (50K reads).
