I do get sub 1000 view recommendations from YouTube but I don’t know if I would assume those creators haven’t paid any money. You can pay to push your videos to a small, very targeted, audience for fairly cheap.

That's a fair point, however with a good bit of the videos recommend to me I highly doubt they are paying for exposure. Many don't have the absolute basic skills when it comes to cinematography. Personally I enjoy watching random non professionals show their interests. But I don't think they are paying to show their videos to people like me.
