I'm not sure this is true...

most tech channels had zero background with that. I mean linus tech tipps (one of the biggest), started to make youtube videos with limited resources and basically was asked by his old company to help out, without prior knowledge.

most gaming related channels were not done with prior backgrounds. also a lot of early youtubers had no prior background. I abo'd tons of german channels who make a living with it, which didn't do anything media related before youtube (some of course did to a certain (small) degree, like jp-performance)

youtube is just so big that there a tons of people with tons of background. of course the most successful people are those who know how to sell.
