YouTube is using libaom for its many, many AV1 encodes. Without knowing the version you used or the settings you used there isn't much that can be usefully talked about. What we can say is that libaom is good enough to be used on the world's biggest video website.

The fact that YouTube uses it only proves the increasingly obvious business model they use in the space, namely the monopolization of the encoding ecosystem by literally throwing away money to steer people clear of rav1e.
