Quite the opposite. If they didn’t care about the view count the content wouldn’t exist in the first place. No one makes content with the intention of no one watching it, and they certainly don’t make high quality content that requires a team of people and expensive equipment.
At a bare minimum they make them because they’re passionate about sharing with others. In which case they care about the view count. Once again, no one makes a video and uploads it to a video-sharing platform and doesn’t care who watches it.
Having the time and money to dedicate to making high quality content makes them higher quality. If they have to work a 9-5 doing something else, and they record everything on a Galaxy S4 because they have no money, it’s bound to be lower quality or just non-existent.

They make them because it’s fun/they are passionate
And that makes them higher quality

You need to spend more time around small channels
LTT is a good example of how what you’re saying is bullshit. All the money in the world but they’re still tech illiterate people making tech videos

Dude, this isn’t the Youtube of 2006 anymore.
Content creating, whether for TV, Radio, or Internet is a job.
