Because it's a job for a lot of people?

And given how much youtube hates its creators, they need to ensure they can actually turn a profit. Many often have others who rely on them as well and not all can rely on sponsors or patreon.

You can hate it all you want, but blame youtube, not the content creators. I agree all the clickbait is stupid, but a large number of them who use it are pretty open it's just to game the algorithm and then make their standard content.

Youtube does what it does for the ad people these creators are trying to link arms and laugh down at everyone else with. Everyone using the site feels the brunt of most of it. I never liked how most of the focus is on people who're already yelling at you to follow them on 5 other websites including a patreon like they're the real victims, or targets here. The videos they get to make complaining are free easy content alone if they can rile their following up.

Those spam videos for money creators are happy to participate in the worsening of the site and rake in a few bucks but they freak out when the site's drastic or sudden changes affect them. Contort to any shape if it means the people using the site can't get your obnoxious mid-screech expression out of their recommended feed with a heap of ads stashed behind the image and surrounded by... pretty much nothing worth watching. If there's blame to be distributed they're getting an equal amount to the site itself.
