On one hand, I could say it's not necessarily a bad thing if channels can secure funding for years to come to keep producing great stuff. But on the other hand, people strangely just straight up keep forgetting what happened to Rooster Teeth and a few other big names of the past. Money can make channels die with a whimper.

Rooster Teeth and Donut come to mind. It's hard to keep up with YouTube's upload frequency demands, and the ones that I know are fully independent like Sarah-n-tuned work 7 days a week. It's rough.
