The "best YouTube" video is not whatever you think it is, but rather what it is.

You can go see what are the most watched videos. How many are softcore porn?

(Let's exclude music videos because they have always included that at times, and popularity tends to run with the audio first)

> "the best" video you can make is probably porn that's softcore enough to not trip the monetization or age restriction gates

Since Mr Beast has some of the highest repeatable viewerships on YouTube I think there's some evidence that is wrong.
