Yeah, they should all just find a new job.
Tbh, for me there's just a couple of 'creators' I watch that do it for their careers, and they didn't start that way; the rest (50 or so subs) still do it 'right', even years later. YouTube started as a platform where everyone can create and share, and people who saw an opportunity for money helped turn it into the shit that it is today. When you (them) have multiple sponsorships per video, the production quality matching broadcast television, prominently show off your new car, house, jet... You (them) are the problem.
This needs a reset back to goofy video game machinimas, cyber police, hiiii my name is boxxy, arby n the chief; when people who hit record didn't want money. They were there to share with others.
