MODERATORS
As someone said in the comments, they really don't make (promote) videos like this any more.
It's just a beautiful video, someone performed something on stage, the crowd clearly loved it. It required real talent, and wasn't just done to get Youtube views in a weekly/daily video posts trying only to drive engagement.
A shame that Youtube's best days are long behind it. Yes the beast is bigger than ever and has so many more people, but it's not quality rising to the top.
Most of YouTube used to be this type of thing.
A More Civilized Age.
Mr. Beast's videos are pure brain rot.
In defense of YouTube...
The thing is, you absolutely can still find stuff like that. The trick is to search for stuff you like, and train YouTube's algorithm to find more stuff like it. I've got mine trained enough that my feed mostly consists of stuff I actually do want to watch.
Some of it is from "content creators," yes (although nothing from the well-known ones), but a lot of it is just random things I happen to have an interest in.
Okay, that said, YouTube's default feed can suck my hairy scrote. It's astoundingly bad.
