Genuine Question about his Rambles Channel

As he mentioned in his recent video the point of the channel is not to make money as a business and he just wants to chill, ramble about things, and post online then why does he care so much about the production quality, views, engagement, if the channel lives or dies in the youtube ecosystem, etc? Why spend so much time on thumbnails which have been criticized a lot and causing him headaches or video editing which he has mentioned is losing him money? Why not just record and upload as it is? Correct me if I am wrong but people who care about his rambles and enjoy it do not give a damn about the production quality and watch it anyways. It's just like a podcast. I still like his rambles but never liked the thumbnails and exaggerated titles which made me scroll away from his videos. It's just an impulsive reaction or aversion toward clickbait and exaggerated titles. Whether he likes/agrees to it or not, it was a valid criticism from the community.
