Agreed.

I generally find that much YouTube content is mainly just junk, though
there are some interesting things now and again.

I like cricket and there is a lot of very good old cricket footage.

Agreed. Especially those not-quite-so-funny TV series of the 1970s that may never be released to DVD, like John Inman in Odd Man Out, Mollie Sugden in Come Back Mrs Noah, Queenie's Castle, Not On Your Nellie, The Squirrels (1975-7) and many others.

Couldn't you say that about music, poetry, architecture, dancing,

Indeed; Sturgeon's Revelation applies: 90% of *everything* is crap, so "90%
of (YouTube, science fiction, movies, modern art, whatever) is crap" is
uninformative and does nothing to help us judge the merit or otherwise of
the genre in question.
