At least on Youtube it's amateurs doing it (more or less) for fun.
I've recently had the joy of listening/viewing an online "course" where the video was probably made in one take - showing the screen and the person, talking/typing/working at the same time.
Obvious result: stuttering, misreading lines, having to restart a sentence multiple times.
Granted, it's a free course. But I've seen better quality on YT - from people who are independent, and not part of a huge company...
On Topic:
Meh, I'm sure sooner or later people will realize that the future is MULTImedial - i.e. have TEXT accompanying the video, so you can skip it and perhaps skip to the relevant portions.
Problem with that is, it requires FAST and reliable internet connections.
