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'm into car stuff so it's one of my favorite things to watch. I've noticed it's become increasingly common for companies to buy YouTube channels after they've become large & keep a consistent fan base. It's killed off a lot of the stuff I used to watch because then the content creators don't get to make their own ideas or try things they actually want to do. The companies keep them doing what is proven to generate numbers & views.

Of course there's also YouTubers who don't get bought out & they simply do that shit on their own because they're striving to keep their numbers high. It could also come from laziness or lack of ideas 🤷 I definitely know what you mean though
