> Even if your content is "valuable", it won't get significant views and subscribers and shares unless it's ENTERTAINING.

Isn't entertainment a value?

> The key to doing that on YouTube is to have a live talking head host that looks good and sounds good.

I think VTubers want to have a word with you.

> Unfortunately, sexist as it is, the optimum host for fast channel growth is a young good-looking woman.

Yet most of the successful youtubers outside of beauty&family-content are males, aren't they?

But of course, you don't need to be the next Mr Beast to be successful on youtube. Everyone needs to find their own way and niche.

The VTuber point is pretty awesome. TBH I'd be way more comfortable behind an avatar, I might invest in a rig. I have some experience in live videos (used to work on FB Live and Horizon Venues) so this might be something I can pull off
