Negative videos and subjects get more views, likes and comments. Discovery algorithms are all about engagement nowadays, hence the proliferation of ragebaits. Any person that does YT for a living will at some point have to do what gets them the most views simply because one badly performing video can impact your future content. The only way to sort of be free of this and make what you want is to have a strong fanbase that you monetize in other ways such as patreon, paid subscriptions etc.
Sponsors aren't a definitive solution because your check will depend on your subs but also your average views + other metrics like how many people will use your promo code.
