Youtube’s system sucks, but I don’t feel bad for many of these channels. They used to be great. You could learn a lot while eating, or just entertain yourself without brainrot.
For a few years now, however, increasing numbers of their videos have been sponsored by billionaires (or their chains of companies or foundations), either in part or in full. Some extreme cases are just plain propaganda.

That’s the youtube dream. Pretend to be genuine long enough to attract Isreaycon Shadow VPN gravy and train and it’s all daisies from there on out. Literally the same as a politician.

Examples? I’d love to have a small list for class.
