I wish that, but I can't see how you can scale something to millions which every 12 years old kid on the internet can learn and be doing it, the more a complicated setup is, the higher are entry barriers.
Anyhow, this is how I see it, might be just me.
Now you know the dogs, the key is to seperate your self from them.
If you were a dog(metaphorically speaking a dog is a animal that eats shits and sleeps but has keen senses)you would need to assess if eating from the same bowl is necessary, but the secret to that is money, kids don't have money but are tenacious and inspired, I mean if cocomelon the kids show was selling business reports within cocomelon well now you have toddlers to worry about.
But with all that bs aside we need not worry about option 1 or 2 rather the option to invest and to invest requires experimental ideas.
I was watching a YouTube video about two successful individuals taking about SEO:
The other stated how to run a business,
And the other states how to run a faceless business both were publicly revealing their ideas because they were comfortable with their following and ability to explore ideas where Little kiddies with plethora of ideas would need to start all over again and algorithms hate new channels that are not netflix quality.
The first guy revealed how he got ideas was in crime and law, where he would request information form the local county getting footage and paying someone in a 3rd world country to edit it, he scaled he's 5 channel bases of experience.
The other guy had a faceless channel and had 20 accounts, and also did the same but more towards tech and documentaries, he explained the trends where you pump out asma rain videos for 12 hours, or 3 hours and given how some channels start or die is predetermined basis of your niche.
Both individuals from my understanding experimented so saying door 1 Vs door 2 will ultimately net you a path towards success will only drive you made, your best bets you experiment and scaled, experiment and scale and invest...
There's no easy answer apart from Sam Altmann, who doesn't love a shady guy.
