Maybe I'm jaded but my understanding is that even if we broaden to "useful content" instead of "quality learning" and include things like "diy bookbinding" YouTube videos, that the amount of time spent on conspiracies, memes, celebrity gossip type content is consumed at orders of magnitude higher rate than the "useful" content even on YouTube, and then Instagram/Facebook/TikTok that divide is so wide that there probably is more consumption of TOS violating content than educational content. It's still great that useful content is there for those who want it, and arguably good that it is subsidized by the junk, but it's not like "useful content" is keeping the lights on for YouTube.
