Donut isn't as good as they used to be imho. I think it's a function of them getting forced to home production due to CA Covid lockdown.

Secondly some of the content producers have got away from their roots of what made them so good to produce something, anything, on a weekly basis to feed the recommendation algorithm which penalizes producers who aren't uploading regularly.

Once of the science channels I like, I think it was Veritasium, did a piece on how to tailor production to keep the algorithm happy and the balance of making genuine (good) content that took quite long time to make vs making cheap/easy content that can be quickly produced so you have something to upload every week.
