I think this list shows that how overwhelming the amount of resources to learn but we have so limited time. I think Duolingo style learning paths are way to go because we need to minimize the time to learn something. These kind of dumps are of no use except for bookmarking and feeling good.

Can you get a job watching 1000 hours of YouTube?

Good point. Learning mostly occurs during the active parts where no YouTube video can provide. I think that's why universities will live a lot longer than people think.

I had the opposite reaction. I think this list shows what is passable as educational nowadays. I would personally be very cautious to consider anything included as edutainment, never mind educational.

I took some time to peruse the list after topics for which I took formal education and could not find a single useful channel.

The only very few exceptions to the rule are MIT OCW kind of channels where universities include playlists with footage of undergraduate courses.
