Why are there so many 20-something video essay youtubers all of the sudden? Most of them cover philosophy or pop culture, and they all have annoyingly similar formats. And all their viewers think they're philosophers after seeing a ten minute summary of an authors entire body of work.
Worst of all, I hate myself for enjoying them, because I know they provide a false sense of accomplishment, and they can't replace actually sitting down and reading the works of real philosophers, but I allow them to anyways.

The vain attempt to enlighten the masses. Also it brings them a little notoriety, an audience, and money.

You answer your own question. People like them, they get views, they make money, they create copycats.

THE ANSWER:
They're all people who left University without getting a job so turned to YouTube using their University lectures and powerpoints to create their videos. How do I know this? Because I know of the famous ones.

There's a lot to be said about doing nothing, and sparing the world from more facile youtube videos

That's not a bad thing at all though. Taking good ideas to the masses for profit, why not?
