I feel like it's just been ruined by others and now there's just a lot of people saying "shut the fuck up already" when someone shits out yet another.

I had ideas for things I wanted to publish to YouTube too but it's over, I don't see it being creatively viable anymore.

I believe I can add nothing and am otherwise just trying to draw attention to myself on a well-trodden medium.

I also have little faith in my ability to make compelling content to begin with, since I just want to talk about subjects that interest me...

Just do it. You can't be worse than those idiots recording themselves screaming like chimps to videos and uploading them as "reaction to".

Or girls with no paternal figure begging for money.

Or streamers vomiting live.
 
That's like saying "it's too late to get into making movies" or "it's too late to get into making games" 🤷 Or music, drawing, painting, basket weaving...
Everything has already been done and everything has already been said and yet people still keep creating and audiences keep watching. Just do it.
 
Within the next ten years, one third of humans will be creating Youtube videos for the other two thirds.

Which side of that equation do you want to be on? It's not too late.

Being a YouTuber seems like living through constant crunch to pump out new content. You're welcome to try and if you consistently upload good videos people will start noticing you and subscribing but you'll probably decide to find a normal job and do other things in your free time. Depends how determined you are to succeed I guess.

There are some niches that are definitely overcrowded but equally there are other niches that have a dedicated following like DIY tech/hardware hacking where I've seen relatively small channels explode in popularity, so there's definitely still hope for new creators.

Gaming is definitely one of the hardest niches to get into nowadays though, unless you have a gimmick that makes you stand out your videos are the same as all the rest, and since there are so many already established channels, they will tend to get recommended over everything else.

If you want to do gaming content, what I've seen many creators do is start out making other content and then do gaming content on a side channel once they're established. If you're exclusively only interested in making gaming content though, that can make things difficult.
