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.
