I have kids and I'm really bothered by MrBeast. I had to buy goddamn chocolate bars at Walmart because of him. I acknowledge he is creative and driven but the content is such crap, with a few exceptions that my kids point out.

But, what's the alternative?

For example, I love 3brown1blue videos. But, it is too advanced even for my eleven year old.

Mark Rober videos are great, and my kids love them, but he's even inside MrBeast's orbit. And, he's not putting out as much content.

What are the good channels that create creative and stimulating videos that are a benefit to humanity.

Does YouTube kill those channels?

> But, what's the alternative?

Personally, I find YouTube to be unusable if you think of it as channel-based. What I do is keep a list of topics and perform a search based on the topics.

That pulls in some set of videos, of which maybe about 20-50% are exactly what I want. If the search yields no great results, it's usually because I've gotten the search wrong or the topic isn't well covered on YouTube yet.

With the kids, I don't talk about watching "YouTube", I talk about watching "learning videos" and if they want to watch a learning video, I ask them to tell me what they want to learn before we turn the screens on.

Usually it's building something, like "I want to learn how to build a doll house" or "I want to learn how to make a shark sculpture

Channels are push content, this is more of a pull approach.
