I don't disagree, but I think the format is so transient that providing accurate correct takes is just impossible over time. Every meta is different and I think looking for good strategy information for the format in a video is a fools errand. If you're entertained by a content creator, great. Thats the most you can rightly ask.
Considering how big a hobby mtg is, our content creators are all depressingly low-budget imo. The prof is easily the biggest and he's still pretty small considering.
And while there are pros making content for other formats, the big commander channels are, imo, mediocre at best in terms of play skill. Yes, it's hard to be "good" at a format without an established meta but everyone I see playing commander online makes mistakes left right and center. The most popular creators mostly get noticed for their presentation over their depth of knowledge imo. Other games rally way harder around their pro players.
Though in fairness, I think other games have more high-polish content creators in their pro ranks, whereas most mtg pros are pretty bad at making watchable content.
But that's mostly for other formats, commander fails at having pros at all as far as I can tell.
