How come no real doctors decide to make videos and share their knowledge with the world?

I'm not sure why it would make zero sense for a doctor to spend their time making educational content on the internet. Helping people directly may be indeed more important and urgent, but contributing to a more positive impact of free educational content on health and medicine is just as reasonable, especially if they are good at that.

    They would have to spend so much time building a brand and making a name for themselves they would have no time to be a real doctor. Otherwise they are making videos and just throwing them into the ether. That's why doctors lend their expertise to governments and NGOs because those already have a reputation and communication channels.
