YouTube started as a place for anyone to post videos. But it quickly became a place for people to build a business posting videos.

The algorithm makes it hard to find the videos without the cruft but I imagine they are uploaded by the millions.

No you can get additional monetization options for 10min or longer videos, they incentivize the padding.
