To me (non-youtuber), this feels like the common case of a developer trying to (over)optimize the process/increasing the "efficiency" of some business in a way that doesn't actually tackle any of the hard problems.
I imagine that for a youtuber who has hired an editor, the hard problems to solve are:
1. getting more subscribers
2. thinking of things to make videos about
3. shooting videos, including with good lighting and sound
