Some counter points..
1. Do it open source. Upload raw footage and notes, let others edit add graphics etc.
2. Make less videos, there is clearly too much youtube content in general. Topic/points not raised or covered by you will be by someone one day
3. Optimise for 0 edit etc. Come up with a format that requires less editing etc.
4. Go for a commissioning model instead. Kickstart/gofundme or similar each video individually based on the idea. Or wait for whales to stump up for topics they want covered that you like
5. Make money from merch or paid appearances or personal messages. Merch doesnt need to be so corny. I would pay for "seasons" of youtube from creators i like. Especially if it was personally prepared (e.g. usb stick with hand written note in the mail). Encoded how you want and ready for upload into jellyfin or similar.
Making money out of IP/content is fraught with issues, imho anything not just made out of sheer desire for that thing to exist is a compromise that will hopefully be eventually replaced by something better that was made for the love.
To be clear if you are making a living from youtube or similar more power to you, the world is far from perfect and there are way worse things you could be doing.. but on the consumer end i feel i owe you nothing other than thanks and respect (which are heavuly waited to you not qasting my time).
