At this point, YouTube is just an advertising channel to serve programmatic ads and for creators to sell or promote products to their audience. The content is over-optimized and too commercial.
Why would anyone pay that much just to be promoted to, when they can access a production-quality curated library on Netflix, Paramount Plus or Disney+?

Other big streaming services won't release content if it shoots higher than a 10th grade level. There is Nebula and the like, but even that is still missing a lot.
