> But you have to admit there’s quite a bit of fluff in so many videos just to extend the time and try to keep eyeballs long enough to mention the sponsor or show ads.

Eh, none of the channels I follow do this. You the customer need to use pressure on creator, just unsubscribe to those fluff channels.

I don’t subscribe until someone has earned it. These fluff-filled videos are the top links from a Google/DDG search on a topic. It’s not as if the only ways to see these videos is to subscribe. When they can’t immediately begin answering the question I asked, the one they claim to answer it their video title, I move on.

The best feature (IMO, for me) would be one to blocklist these creators when that happens.
