I still follow a handful of channels that don't feel like they exist to advertise/monetize. They are far too passionate about their content matter for that to be the case. That said I hope the creators are being compensated well for their efforts.

Many of them are probably on Patreon even if they don't shill it constantly in the videos. If you enjoy their content you should try to give them something - I follow several content creators who make over a thousand dollars a month, almost entirely from $1-5/video donations.
