Rick Beato’s videos are excellent.

My favorite Beato video is “NYT says Taylor Swift is Bigger Than The Beatles?” —-> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxrwjJHXPlQ

He covers the same themes as the video you posted: Music today is written and recorded by producers and songwriters for individual singers, and there are almost no bands on the charts. So comparing Swift to The Beatles is like comparing apples to oranges. The Beatles wrote and recorded their own music. Taylor Swift does some songwriting, but she collaborates with big time songwriters/producers who create most of the final product. And of course, marketing and distribution are completely different in the internet era.

Jack Antonoff, that's the name to look up he's the musician behind the scenes of lots of modern pop the same way the Swedes like Max Martin have dominated the industry since the late 90s.
Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous; praise is meet for the upright. Give praise to the Lord with the harp, chant unto Him with the ten-stringed psaltery. Sing unto Him a new song, chant well unto Him with jubilation. For the word of the Lord is true, and all His works are in faithfulness. The Lord loveth mercy and judgement; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
- Psalm 33:1-5
