Maybe because you entirely don't need to.
I'm confident that if you have a break for long enough, then when you come back, you'll find you don't have the social circle anymore, you went be having a lot of fun, and you will likely leave again soon after.
Just in case dint delete your account, because it's not necessary.

As for the content creators, they used to have fantastic ambassadors for casual like Zepla. It's ironic if that's what they have been doing, because all I've been doing is down voting Chaotic videos to try and get the message through to YouTube to take them out of my personal suggestions. One particular content creator I just flat told you tube not to recommend them at all for anything ever again. I don't like being condescended to in my personal space. Other creators the time has been, some creators the tone has been smug and taunting. But I rarely ever see them in my suggestions so, whatever.
There now aren't any XIV creators that YouTube suggests to me and there haven't been in a long time.
"Content creator" is not an accurate term imo. Sure, they may have started as a content creator who loved a game, (FFXIV for this example). But the moment they get a taste of success and viewers start tossing money at them and superchats, then its not about content or the game. It is about money. By any means necessary, and by saying or doing anything needed for the precious algorithm. Any popular content creator is a fraud that will lie as much as they need to if it brings in more subs. I don't get the appeal. They are just as bad as a stuffy, corporate suit trying to increase profit every quarter.
