I can't stand content spamming on YouTube, especially when channels I'm subscribed to do it

A couple I'm subscribed to used to upload new content on a fairly consistent schedule, even if it might've taken days or over a week for them to upload, it would always be quality material that would increase their subscriber base. Now they upload a lot more frequently, but when they do, it's mainly lengthy compilations of old videos and seems it's only every other upload is a video that's actually new. Not sure if they're running out of ideas or just plain greedy, but it's frickin' annoying and I may just have to unsubscribe if they keep it up. Always sucks to see once-great content creators fall off and just resort to spam, if not crappy content.

I have wondered whether some of them are under pressure from YT to produce regular content. I think they all have to produce 'shorts' these days, even though it's clear a lot of them don't want to do that. I have one or two subscriptions which only produce occasionally, but it's worth the wait. I suspect if you want to make real money from YT, you do need to feed the monster regardless of quality. This is pretty much like mainstream TV which so often needs to provide something to wrap around the advertising.
