Also, are there any YouTube alternatives that's NOT destined to fail, and that's NOT used as an alt-tech platform?

Other forms of self help content can have similar issues as self help content on YouTube. It depends on what the motivation is for creating the content in the first place.

For any self help content to be financially successful it needs to be more entertaining than helpful, regardless of the platform it's on.

That said I imagine it's probably a bit worse on YouTube because of the algorithm...

The issue with self help content in general is that it can distract you from doing the actual work to achieve your goals while making you feel like you're making progress.

Its probably better to investigate scientifically proven methods of achieving your specific goals rather than trying to use self help content.
