Another thing is youtube’s value isn’t even career creators. Its random people uploading stuff because they thought it’d help someone despite no expectations of any career or monetary compensation.

Im sure lot of us have searched some fix on youtube then been helped by the video posted by a channel where that’s the only video there. So not everyone is looking for a netflix alternative from youtube, but its the encyclopedia of knowledge it offers. I’ve had professor who uploaded their lessons on youtube so people could refer to it.
