Ironically, I get more quality from people who weren't part of gamergate but know of it or looked at it after the fact like your Robert Barnes or Clownfish types. Technically Arch is post gamergate as he got hit after the initial shitstorm same with the Quatering though I don't watch him much.
A lot of the guys from the initial gg days have fallen off or moved on, the fallen off can be because they got addicted to the attention and when it started to dry up because people got to know the enemy and so knew who to avoid, they couldn't handle it and started either going too crazy to try and maintain their relevancy.
Then you have those who's exposure to gg made them realise how shit the systems truly us and set up shifting their focus to be more political and cultural like your Sagon with his Lotus Eaters and these types. It also helps that because they shifted to broader political and cultural focus you get more of a historical and philosophical background with them.
Really, it's just some haven't adapted to the change in times and so got left behind or boring in their content. If you want to see someone who was easily able to adapt to the times, look at the most subscribed individual YouTubers like Pewdiepie or Mr Beast, then compare them to your once great but fallen off YouTubers. To be a successful entertainer, you need to be able to adapt with the times or be left behind.
Most of that stuff on history is on their website like their introspection series is on their own website. Some of it filters down to YouTube but all lot their YouTube content is filtered down compared to their website since they own their website and YouTube seems to be focusing on them.
The issue is alternatives are available but YouTube is STILL the one with the biggest audience. If you just go alternate then you'll lose a good portion of your audience, so the current best method is water down your YouTube content but say 'if you want my unfiltered content, go to my Rumble/patreon etc' because until people get sick enough of bland political takes to use alts more, expect watered and bland on YouTube for the time being.
Well look at the mainstream alternatives for certain media content, Twitch seems to be fucking themselves over and TikTok's creator pay rates is AWFUL so no matter the bias and bone headed decisions of YouTube, it's still better to water it down on there but build a following that can follow you elsewhere.
The true competition I can see for YouTube is not any of the alternatives, ironically it's Twitter/X, if Elon does go through making it into a multimedia, everything platform but with a focus on legal speech, it can definitely force YouTube to change through competition.
