I doubt YouTubers quitting is anything except availability heuristic and a combination of burnout + bandwagon effect. I know of ~5 well-known people who have decided to stop making content, out of 100+ if not 1000+ of the "well-known" people on YouTube. Tom Scott was the first one, and his plan to stop was years in the making. I suspect the others were already burnt out, and seeing him leave gave them the initiative to do the same. A couple other YouTubers have made videos signaling they will pivot to different types of content, further reinforcing that they're burnt out with what they're doing but nothing is convincing them to stop making videos in general.
