That was the overall trend in YouTube since 2013 that makes sense for YouTube as a business but makes me a bit sad as a user. When they started to split up YouTube picked out the top, corporate friendly creators to let advertisers pick and choose how to target their (eventually content self-censoring) advertising money rather than offering YouTube as a whole bundle and letting the keyword auction do its work opaquely. This creates to inevitable incentive problem down the road we're all witnessing now such as asymmetrical content id powers, no monetization for grassroot creators, content censorship etc.
