isn’t the whole point of running a YouTube channel to get views and subscribers?

Yes. Now ask yourself as a consumer of videos: when a video is recommended to me, should it be based on what picture comes up or should it be based on the quality or accuracy of the content of the video?

You decide for yourself which videos to click. I usually only watch channels of which I know they will deliver.

Of course the decision is yours, the point of recommendations should be 1) relevance and 2) quality. There’s a disconnect between consumerism and profiting here and that’s what’s being pointed out.
