Using an avatar and calling it a different name are extra steps
Putting on makeup before recording a video is also extra steps, though.

I'm inclined to agree with where you're going with this. As weird as it seems, using an avatar overlay is really just a virtual version of the costumes many people put on before streaming traditionally (makeup and clothing worn specifically for the stream does qualify as a costume). The technicalities of what happen in the back-end to allow those avatar overlays to function are obviously far, far more complex than all but the most intricate individual costuming jobs, of course, but from the perspective of the performer, it's arguably fewer steps than getting ready physically.

Sometimes putting on makeup IS the video

Are most Vtuber videos makeup tutorials?

Would it? It seems like most Vtubers do let's plays.

They do and it's some of their worst content unless they try and branch out to more retro or obscure content. Most seem to only be interested in getting FotM views.

Whenever someone sings fansa and they don't input their name instead of mona at the mona-beam part I'm like "Are you even a real aidoru?".

That's true of most streamers/youtubers in general. The ones that start with more obscure content never get off the ground.

Lots of Youtubers never even show their faces, they just narrate their videos
The algorithm won't favor them then

well from what I've heard you pretty much need a face (doesn't have to be your own face) in the thumbnail of your video for the algorithm to care

Always found it quite odd how you have things like the youtube algorithm, but you have a search bar? I mean, what's the point when you can search?

I discover a lot of content via the algorithm. I would not watch things like vintage hardware review videos if it wasn't for the algorithm.

Then the algorithm will randomly reccomend a video of a lobster to everyone in the country

Your search results are generally adjusted based on what the algorithm expects you'll want to see, particularly trying to show you new content that it expects you'll want. Everything about the algorithm is designed to keep you on the site for as long as possible, even after you find the video you're looking for, so it'll recommend you stuff and give you search results that it expects will pique your interest and keep you clicking.

It's all about the engagement: The longer you spend on the site, the more opportunities there are to advertise to you and collect data on your browsing habits that Google can sell.

not sure why this came up, but "search" is the algorithm. if youtube doesn't want you to find a video it won't come up in a youtube search. it might have a better chance appearing in a regular google search though, maybe that's what you mean.
