I'm about to get out of a really shitty retail job that I've hated for almost 10 years now because the store is shutting down.
In these years, to make extra money to be able to enjoy myself, I've written fapfics (I'm not going to lie and say it's "literotica" because it's fucking not, it's someone's OC in fapfics) and I enjoyed it, in addition to writing stories of my own.
Lately I've become sick of writing, erotic or otherwise. What used to be fun and let me express being a pervert has become boring and feels like a second job. Whenever I write something, I always pause about 10 minutes into it, think "this is too samey, no one's gonna like this" and stop.
So I decided "Hey, I'm a huge fucking manchild and I like buying toys once in a while, maybe I could do YouTube videos on a series I like!" but this particular series has a small group of dedicated people, some of who are clearly in it ONLY for the money of their fanbase's wealthy parents and one of them (in my opinion) just outright pretends to love the series in an attempt to make kids tell more people about his videos for more views.
tl;dr Should I try to rekindle my writing spark, or should I push through the whole "everyone else has done it" shit and be a YouTuber?

Just because they are doing it for money doesn't give you any more legitimacy than them.
Their motivation for money can be greater than your actual genuine interest on the subject. This is how posers always seem to blow the fuck out of "real" people.
So if you're basing your entry into youtube off the foregoing reasons, you should just write, but write different things. Learn how to write a formal paper, learn how to write an epic, learn how to write a poem, learn how to write technically, learn how to write a historical essay. There's so many niches for writing that you can excel in and you don't even know it.

But that's just taking advantage of children whose parents don't pay attention to their credit cards. It's fucking terrible.

Why not both? Keep writing, but try to start a YouTube channel on the side. If your channel starts to pick up and you enjoy making videos, then you can quit writing and make videos full-time.

Hold on tight, you don't want to fall off your high horse, you insufferable faggot.
So then it's okay when you take the kid's money because you actually "care" about the toys. lmao

As an amateur writer myself (but planning to make it a career), I can suggest you to make any new story you write a challenge.
Changing style, trying a new effect, building some nice catharsis, or only by evolving from your current statu of "fapfic" writer.

Writing pornographic content while making videos about a toy line?
I'm afraid the two would eventually mix (someone would recognize me and mention my other screen name) and then one of the two would go down the tubes.

I see your point, I should have worded it differently. My bad. I've seen this people go to different forums and shit, post ONE thread about "come watch my videos!" and then never post again.
I don't want to be that kind of person.

You've already written stuff though right? Your work is already out there with your screen name attached so does it really matter if you write more? How could someone even connect the two anyway? And even if they did, I don't think it would impact either that much.
