Lots of creators have weighed in on this. The consensus is that it’s just what you have to do to be successful on YT. Google does not care about the actual quality of your video or channel (subscribers), only about cramming new shit down your throat.
More pointedly: the only thing Google cares about is making money. If what you’re doing doesn’t detract from that goal in any way (mind you, that’s a VERY broad brush), they don’t give two shits.
It doesn’t, though. All that matters (and this covers most journalism these days, not just video) is ad views, clickthroughs, and engagement. So if you make something “fun” or otherwise emotionally engaging (coughFOX NEWScough), your ad monetization is going to be more successful.

I suspect quality content will make more money than clickbait garbage videos, but what do I know?
