Bitch your content creators to also provide content on other platforms.
The content creators won’t make the effort unless they have some way to monetize their views though.
I’m my opinion the best days of YouTube were before monetization was a thing. There were plenty of creators back then, and it was a lot less corporate than it is now.

Unfortunately, you need monetization to keep going. If creators didn’t, they wouldn’t have folded to YouTube monetization rules and just kept posting whatever they wanted. Basically, YouTube demonitezes then crrators have folded to just censoring their videos instead of pushing back because of money.

Your first phrase explains the problem perfectly IMO.
Maybe everyone mustn’t make a youtube every other day. Sometimes I stumble onto an old youtube with all the information I need, but it’s getting rarer and rarer because people who “need” monetization push them out it seems.
