Real Journalism is very expensive.

I fear the day when all the financially viable "news" is some YouTube channel with no investigative staff powering it, but caters to a niche that doesn't care about accuracy or integrity to sustain itself.

I don't know - I would argue that Scott Manley and Tim Dodd do a better job then any mainstream media on reporting on Space news, and the tech youtube community is better then almost anyone save maybe Ars Technica.
The Tech youtube community is centered around clickbait and shoehorned brand warfare to generate views.

There are some worthwhile youtubers, but the vast majority create useless content to keep you watching.

Space is very very niche. But The Economist and Nature have provide some pretty good space content in recent memory.
