An insider can make a post here and there as info comes in and then not worry about it and spend the rest of his time doing whatever.
But a proper YouTube channel that relies on Patreon donations and sponsors and such is more like a job. The insider would either be expected to regularly provide information, which is usually not possible if the insider wants to keep his ability to be an insider, or provide info and then fill in the rest of the regular release schedule with time consuming content.
Also, once you start making money off secrets, you may find yourself receiving extra attention from those whose attention you'd rather avoid.
