I like this blog and I like watching its Youtube videos. I have been here for a few months and I regret not finding this earlier. Today I thought that maybe there are different blogs like this about subjects other than Electronics, which I will regret for not finding them earlier when I find them.

By "different blogs" I mean, for example, about Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics or Computer Science. I know, there are tons of them on the internet. But what I want is a blog just like this; a talkative instructor like Dave who explains everything like all the subscribers are idiots, lots of videos, white board drawings and analysis of practical applications.

Please make suggestions if you know any.

Here's my selection of channels. Not all of them are 100% what you asked for, but hopefully some of them will be interesting anyway.

Physics
https://www.youtube.com/user/minutephysics/videos Short, educational videos.
https://www.youtube.com/user/1veritasium/videos Also educational in nature, broader than minutephysics.

Chemistry
https://www.youtube.com/user/NurdRage/videos tutorials on various chemical reactions.

Math
https://www.youtube.com/user/khanacademy/videos Educational.
https://www.youtube.com/user/patrickJMT/videos Educational.
https://www.youtube.com/user/singingbanana/videos Puzzles and more of the fun side of math.
https://www.youtube.com/user/Vihart/videos Math and poetry.

There's the whole Nottingham Science/Sixty Symbols/Periodic Videos etc group of channels, with content from the University of Nottingham, shot by Brady Haran. Those channels cover a variety of topics, (STEM fields and beyond) and you can find even more related channels if you look on the right side of the channel page for those. All of these are more educational than practical, I would say.
http://www.test-tube.org.uk/ / https://www.youtube.com/user/periodicvideos
https://www.youtube.com/user/sixtysymbols
https://www.youtube.com/user/numberphile
https://www.youtube.com/user/Computerphile
https://www.youtube.com/user/DeepSkyVideos

And perhaps this is also a good place to list a few other electronics channels which each has a slightly different focus than EEVBlog.
https://www.youtube.com/user/mikeselectricstuff A lot of focus on practical electronics engineering.
https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSignalPathBlog Tutorials and teardowns, often on RF electronics.
https://www.youtube.com/user/w2aew/videos Tutorials, also with an RF focus.
https://www.youtube.com/user/bkraz333/videos Both tutorials and practical projects, often unique and creative content. Both electronics and misc. science/engineering.
https://www.youtube.com/user/julius256/videos More hobbyist than engineer level. A lot of LED projects.

Misc engineering
https://www.youtube.com/user/Aussie50/videos More blog-y. Focus on cars.
https://www.youtube.com/user/AndyDaviesByTheSea/videos And old man doing videos about amateur radio, HHO production, glassblowing and other practical projects.

Misc educational
https://www.youtube.com/user/CGPGrey/videos Various random fun facts.
https://www.youtube.com/user/minuteearth/videos Same person who does minutephysics, but about earth science.
https://www.youtube.com/user/destinws2/videos Smarter Every Day. Various experiments.
https://www.youtube.com/user/SteveSpanglerScience/videos Science experiments for kids.

Drawing (Adding these here for completeness.)
https://www.youtube.com/user/ZoocDoesStuff/videos
https://www.youtube.com/user/markcrilley/videos

Honorary mentions (more fun than education)
https://www.youtube.com/user/photonvids/videos Photonicinduction. The channel is mostly about blowing stuff up, but it since it features a lot of high voltage, high current, and both combined, it can be incidentally be quite educational about the practical side of those things.
https://www.youtube.com/user/msadaghd/videos Mehdi likes shocking himself. Of course, he's a trained electrician or electronics engineer, and the videos are secretly about electrical safety by example.
https://www.youtube.com/user/taofledermaus/videos Videos about mercury, as well as videos about shooting things with weird bullets (!) as of late.
https://www.youtube.com/user/carsandwater/videos A channel mostly about dropping a red hot nickel ball on various items. Strangely mesmerizing.

Whoa! How the hell did Dave know that Bob is my uncle? Amazing!
