People expect edited videos from content creators these days.

They do not, look how popular meme compilation are.

Even someone filming a hobby in their home shop will get barked at for having bad audio quality, if, this week for once, they forgot to charge the batteries on their wireless Rode lavalier mic.

Hater will hate, welcome to the internet.

If you're fine watching unedited, 5-10 minute videos that can be churned out with next to no effort, all good. I'm really into 40-90 minute long videos and personally view YouTube as an alternative to obtain the content type I prefer, but I'd rather not sacrifice quality.

This type of content is impossible to make without financial support,

Also, are we really comparing the hosting expenses of fucking YouTube with static 90s fan pages?

There were much edited 40-90 minute video before there were ad on youtube. There were high quality page long essay on internet before youtube exist. Do not need ad or revenue or money support to get your content.

In 90s people did thing because passion. Now because passion and money. Still can make thing only because passion, never got impossible.
