It's because YouTube used to be mostly independent creators, even when people first started making money off it. That was the sales pitch.

    I really honestly do miss youtube before it got monetised. Yeah the content overall was probably worse, but it was also in it's baby shoes, but only seeing videos because beople wanted to make the video hit so different. Now it's all commercials and talking about possible commercials, don't say the nono words. And don't talk bad about anyone, because maybe they'll sponser them someday.

    Oldtube is still there, if you know where to look. Independent creators in the unfiction genre are still putting out gold that beats the hell out of the mass-produced FNAF/mascot horror/Scrimblo Files knock-offs. Kane Parsons, Alex Archives, Alex Kister, Mister Manticore, Remy Abode, Kris Straub, the list goes on. Alex Archives even stated that his entire body of work, both Ted's Caving Journal and Hollow Birds, uses practical effects, free software, and free tutorials.
