MODERATORS
I wish people would just run blogs (with videos if desired) on their own websites (with an RSS feed). But that is much harder to monetize. People make videos and put them on YouTube because you can make a lot more money off of video ads. But anyone not focused on monetization via video ads should probably not be relying on YouTube.
Besides monetization, there is discoverability. The algorithm handles marketing for you, attracting new viewers and reminding your past viewers that you exist. On the other hand, users have to intentionally visit blogs or sign up for emails etc.
