I’m not sure why any popular YouTuber would go to Netflix. I doubt it could ever make financial sense. The distribution must be so much lower on Netflix. I would be worried if any of my favorite YouTubers went to Netflix because I would be afraid that’s where their content would go to die. Netflix discovery is absolutely terrible.

Netflix's discovery may be terrible but YouTube's discovery is non-existent. It's common knowledge that in order to get views on your YouTube videos, you submit them to Reddit or another platform, because the algorithm will not push your content if you have less than a thousand or so subscribers.
