I'm going to flip this question around. Would we be worse off if fewer people were unable to start businesses out of Youtube channels? I'd think so. A lot of novel art and education has come out of realizing Youtube could be a full-time job. You jump to MrBeast as the junk food of Youtube but I can honestly say I have never seen a MrBeast video but I frequently look at things like FreeCodeCamp or even the more educational end of entertainment like Tom Scott or extensive product review channels like Project Farm. I'm glad they exist and I'd happily watch a sponsor spot for them.
