I mostly agree, but there are some counterexamples that provide very in depth, quality information and have gotten popular because of it. Off the top of my head, Ben Eater, Sebastian Lague, 3Blue1Brown, and Reducible.
I think it's still very possible to get stuff that doesn't fit into the algorithm to take off if you make it interesting and high quality :)
