Originals to me was about giving said great content creators more funds to produce their wilder/more expensive ideas they didn't have the budget for themselves. It was basically just boosting the existing content and upping the production quality a bit. It probably wasn't very lucrative though given that people watching Youtube don't care about production quality that much imo, and top creators already have decent production.
