Here are just a handful of math-related videos and articles I really liked. I've limited it to one entry per author, which was hard because in some cases I love several of a creator's works.
See this list with non-math entries included.

Videos

Ever wonder how Bitcoin (and other cryptocurrencies) actually work?

The Feigenbaum Constant

Numberphile has a ton of math videos, with a handful of different mathematicians talking about a bunch of different topics.

Times Tables, Mandelbrot and the Heart of Mathematics

While the other math channels I'm linking to here report very nicely on pre-existing math content, Mathologer actually has original results in some of their videos.

9.999... reasons that .999... = 1
by Vihart (Victoria Hart)

Vihart's "Doodling in Math Class" series has several gems, but I picked this video (not from that series) because I really appreciate the line "mathematics is about making up rules and seeing what happens."
