It's unfortunate that you've mentioned this - now whenever I see a youtube doco along these lines I'm going to check and be put off by this fact :/.
Youtube is definitely developing a subculture of channels that essentially copy existing work and put them in video form. I guess they are generating bespoke content - There's a fair bit of effort that goes into creating an engaging and cohesive video. But the fact that most of them do not properly acknowledge sources leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Don't be, there's a lot of art in the presentation style. This particular channel puts a lot of effort into being very respectful and presenting a certain tone and speech register which I find rather charming. Of course not all channels do add this kind of value, but just ignore the ones that don't! :)
