This is the same as between making tv series of 5-6 episodes or one of 24 episodes/season or a soap opera doing 200+ episodes a year.

YT as a platform works for all kinds of producers , but as a content creator you are the in the space of high volume low quality content then yes publishing frequently is a must.

However if you are high quality low volume creator who is almost guaranteed tens of million views you could do only infrequently, however each video is going take a lot of time to produce.

It's almost as if YouTube can distinguish between the type and quality of content when choosing how to weight distribution.

(I'm sure it does, and I'd like to know more about the algorithm.)

It would be nice to know academically, however am not so sure it would benefit us as users.

YT like Search is heavily targeted for SEO, having access to the algorithm will just make it easier for exploitation , we will get even more low quality low effort content in our feeds than now. More good creators will leave the platform.
