This spun off the earlier art youtubers who would quite literally just whine with a hipster-depressed voice about their life and how hard things are but they're holding on and so on and so on over a 20-40-ish minute timelapse of a digital painting. With titles such as "Painting and talking about life." A bunch of sad millenials latched onto this because it was relatable to their pitiful existence.
This evolved into clickbait-titles "for the algorithm" when it was the same content, as well as people trying to grift by yapping for longer needlessly.
Others spun into another direction with more high energy. I believe Ethan Becker was one of the first to succeed with that type of format, because it holds ADHDer's attention for 20 minutes better.

Others saw the demand for "relevant" subject matter - fantasy, scifi, and digital art - and focused entirely on instructional content but with better production values. This contrasts with the older instructional channels like Proko. Marco Bucci, Laovaan and MikeyMegaMega are three of the longer-standing examples of that. Very different approaches to the same thing.

Then THEN you got increasingly flanderized forms of that. THOSE incorporated content farm-y elements. That one bluehaired scammer dude I can't remember the name of went full retard, but this same camp includes trad artists who do more unboxing videos than instructional ones (ChloeRoseArt), random "fun" videos using an entire production team that are SOMETIMES instructional (Jazza, Ten Hundred) or blending with drama channels (LavenderTowne, Mohammed Agbadi).

The ones that are either vlogs or focused on business are IMO the best ones right now. Might just be my personal place in my art journey. Channels like (vlogs) Art for the Insane, David Choe, Chroma Moma, Madden Grimes, or (marketing) Kayla Carlisle. Useful for just "doing the art you want" not making art look a certain way. Ironically that comes full circle. Might just be me though
