> If you go to the front page of youtube right now, it's filled with vlog style, 10-minute-padded, clickbait junk.

This... Doesn't make any sense. The Frontpage looks like that because it's what the average viewer wants to watch (many of which are kids). If you use YouTube with any regularity, your homepage recommendations shouldn't be coming anywhere close to that.

Yeah, the frontpage is just lowest common denominator. If you get into the topics you're interested in there is a lot of impressively high quality content from small to medium sized creators.
