That works both ways, though. Content that is high quality but is lacking broad appeal will go away as well.

Full disclosure,I don't know what the right answer is here but it certainly isn't as black-and-white as this.

Will it? If the creator is really passionate, and the few people that consume the content is passionate, it seems like the opposite will happen. Look at Patreon and Floatplane, for instances of that.

It won't go away though, as long as it has a community that wants it.

What goes away is things that get entrusted to capital. Netflix will run a show for two months and then remove it from the universe because it saves them taxes or something.

The internet has passed around documents containing knowledge since way before the capitalists showed up and built their silos.

We are still a society that is half comprised of people who are only capable of thinking of the internet as a better television, with a ruling class willing to do whatever it takes to give them that, but it has never been that and it will never be that. YouTube is just as doomed as the rest of the Free Money Era corporations.
