Hm, in my opinion there's no such thing as "YouTube content". Content, that's the blanket word I object to.
What there is is people (and companies) uploading stuff. Some useful, some entertaining, some mindless, some for me, some not for me.
I cannot say "YouTube content" is -- or is not -- for me because the notion is meaningless. Individual videos and channels are definitely for me, and are hard to find elsewhere. YouTube by itself is not a thing.

Yeah putting a reaction video in the same category as a video essayist/documentary is strange. In a sea of content farm videos there are still many interesting islands of thought-provoking stuff on youtube.
I got rid of the Youtube app from my Roku many months ago, and I haven't missed it. That wouldn't be the case for most other streaming apps that I still have.
I think for me - right from the day Youtube launched - I never liked the interface. It's the worst streaming interface of all the streaming services.
