It's comical how hn always thinks they're above the lowly YouTube famous content. That type of content exists because people like it. When Jon doe gets off his 12 hour shift at the factory he's not interest in hn style content, he wants some mindless slapstick comedy.

When I’m done with a 10 hour day working on infrastructure and code, I have no interest in HN style content. I want mindless slapstick comedy, mostly because I have no mind left after 10 hours in the office.
Because this is what really matters, what makes a difference: are you deliberately creating what makes people click to get money, without any consideration of consequences, or are you creating something beneficial for others - they find it beneficial and that's the reason they click? Unfortunately, most content creators, especially on YT, belong to the first category.
