      Yeah.. Marques makes good content and puts a lot of effort into it. There are a number of Youtubers like that..

      But the vast majority are engaged in attention baiting; outrage, grievance, conspiracy, FOMO.. Take your pick.

      Even some oldies like GN are churning out grievance and drama.
