So these videos are interesting because they work on the concept of manipulating YT to create a sort of feedback loop to generate money. What they do is they make these videos which are about as fun as driving a nail into your eardrum but are undeniably actual content that exists and also designed to manipulate search metrics. So what happens is that they use a large amount of accounts, either bots or just paid YT watchers (which are a real thing you can hire in cheap labor places) to give the videos just enough boost to start lighting up in searches where they will get clicked on by dumb kids who will watch them long enough to get an impression and a paid view. Once this starts happening they can starting heavily mixing in bots with legitimate viewers because with YT it's always been easier to use bots to boost views if you have an effective smokescreen of millions of actual viewers to hide them in. Because multiple groups are all using this method they then start heavily populating each others suggested videos which then gets viewers (IE small kids) stuck in a loop where more of these poo poo videos are the easiest things to click on and so you get an effect where one of these videos getting lots of views passes off thousands of views to associated videos.

This all sounds pretty dumb and insane, then you realize these people make a lot of money. Social Blade estimates the income from that channel as somewhere between 100k and 1.5 million per year and from experience it's probably in the high end because it's a channel aimed at kids and ad impressions for people under 18 are worth significantly more money than other ad impressions. The thing you'll notice is almost all of these channels are networked to big multi channel networks even though you'll never see any of those MCMs actually publicize this in any way. Due to the way MCMs work having these weird creepy knockoff kids channels in their wheelhouse means they can produce a shitload of free money to prop up their other big name users/vloggers/whatever and offer competitive rates for joining their network. Since MCMs mostly are in charge of negotiating copyright disputes and finding ad companies who will be willing to buy more profitable ads than the ones google runs (or do paid product placement) what will happen is a big company will look at a network like, for example here, Studio71 (the people who claim the channel linked here) and offer them a deal based on their channels like FPSRussia or Epic Meal Time. The MCM will say "we can offer you ads in this demo (in this case kids) at these rates and with this amount of minimum views" and the ad company will agree because who hasn't heard of Epic Meal Time? But then they dump all these ads on channels like the one above, generate a ton of views with their small child exploiting Chinese content farm, and cash out big.

I'm pretty sure the only thing you need to make retail PS2 discs is to rent out a mastering facility, and I'm sure pirates would be able to find one that doesn't ask too many questions. The extent of the PS2's copy protection is, "Does the disc have hidden data that matches the filename of the game?" You can't make them with burners, but it's trivial for any mastering facility to reproduce them.

(An aside: You don't actually need to mod PS2s. You just need to get the door open without tripping the door switch, then use a loader disc to boot the burned disc. A credit card works for old models; cotton works for the slims.)
