Not making a thought-out argument, just thinking about these things: consider the effort and training required to produce creative videos at that time. Given how few opportunities for creative people then, these were privileged positions. Nowadays, anyone can livestream on twitch from their phone in hd, yet most we see are people alone in their rooms screaming at video games.
Overall cultural impact of MTV was large, maybe because attention was concentrated on it. Individual creators on video platforms will never come close.

Of course we see a greater number of videos that are easy to create, e.g. someone playing a game and commenting on it. However, I don’t see why we should use a count of these videos to judge the general quality of the “individual creator”. There will always be more crappy stuff compared to quality stuff since crappy stuff is easy to create.
