Funnily, the animal was named after the greek mythological figure of the same name. Wife of Typhon and considered the mother of monsters - including Cerberus.
It's sad to see parents one up the children instead of elevate them

Formally, this is an example of positive punishment where the addition of a stimulus decreases the likelihood of the target behavior occuring again.
Negative reinforcement refers to subtracting/removing a stimulus to increase the likelihood of a target behavior (think reducing a prison sentence for good behavior).

I do appreciate creators who do their own content despite being keenly aware of the algorithm.
Infrequent long-form content creators to check out:
Tom O'Regan: British(?) topical/interest reviews, personal recommendations include his Obra Dinn video, Sickest Chess Match, and The Biggest Mistake In Music History
B-Mask: I support him on Patreon so pardon the bias but he likes to take his time creating in-depth and clear retrospectives on topics he's interested in, managing to get you interested in The Fantastic Four, Jems, and 2000s video game trilogies. Not long form for the sake of $$$ but insightful analysis of the history, themes, and personal deconstruction of such topics.
Also check out Moth Light Media for evolutionary biology, and Lines in Motion for manga and art analysis.
More frequent but short form (under 4 minutes) creators to check out are few and wide, 5sf are back-ish but carrying the torch are:
CrackerMilk are a bunch of good aussie lads making short sketches for quick laughs, with excellent timing and shooting.
Valueselect is a personal fave where he was doing sketches a year or two ago but is experimenting with yt shorts quite well. The majority of his comedy surrealist/fantasy/80's styling music are absolute hits.
Hope these are good starting points, I found these guys from browsing similar threads.
Acollierastro Physicist and academic breaks down varying topics in casual and fun long-form format. string theory lied to us and now science communication is hard
Value Select Multi-talented (really) independent content creator, who flavours his borderline surrealist humour with 80's stylings and DnD/medieval vocabulary and theatrics. Pushes for good vibes while keenly aware of the grind "Embrace the mirth".
He's always experimenting and pushing his production to unbelievably comedic quality, so I discovered him when he was doing musical skits such as Tell me your name again (again) Hit Me With Your Car 2020
Right now he's been on fire with his youtube shorts. Not everyone's thing and if you wanna take a glance, personal favourites include:
I can relate to the "how the fuck is being a concerned human being extreme/poltical?" energy in the post hard.
What's that phenomenon where as a child you were told a "fact", internalised it, and lived your life presuming it was true until someone points out how obviously wildly untrue it was that you momentarily question reality?
Because I was today's years old when I realised how ridiculous cutting complete blood flow would be. Thank you (genuinely!)
