I totally agree. I know that such content is meant to appeal to the lowest common denominator, but you don't have to be a genius with super niche interests to find any other interesting content beyond it, so I don't understand why it's THAT prevalent.

Sorry, I don’t understand this comment. Could you reword it?

I'll try, no guarantees though.

  1. The content you don't like is designed to appeal to the majority of audience, and the easy to please audience.

  2. It is absolutely not the case that you need to be ultra intelligent to consume content other (and maybe better) than those videos made for audience mentioned in (1). Even the people mentioned in (1) can look beyond the content mentioned in (1).

  3. Even so, low effort children-aimed content is very prevalent. The op does not understand why it is so despite (2).

Sorry if I mucked it up even more.

This is correct, thanks! I couldn't put those thoughts into words too well
