>If YouTube's algorithm solely promoted car videos, then car videos would be all that are uploaded to YouTube.
That's assuming that people only upload videos on Youtube to monetize them. Given that uploading videos is basically free I'm sure there'd be no shortage of non-car videos. Actually if I recall correctly youtube didn't have any monetization for many years when it started?
What you'd probably lose is high production value original content, although I suspect that many of those content producers might still break even if they have other ways to monetize their content.
