> all things considered, they probably spend far more on content production than any other platform.

And honestly half of it is a cesspool. I may be subjective, but then again I'm not the target audience for Mr Beast or any other similar Youtuber or streamer or whatever.

Is that not also true for other streaming platforms? There's a ton of low-budget junk on the biggest streaming platforms.
Netflix has done some really low effort shows, like "Is it cake", or just low quality drama disguisted as home improvement, like "Hack it" or "Tiny House Nation".

I dunno what they are thinking, but surely it has to devalue their brand and consumer conception of a fair price for the service?
