I think this is arguable based on the meaning of "value." For example, what I would say are the "highest value" channels, i.e. educational, review, informational etc are not getting as much payout as "Spiderman and Elsa Sit On Eachother's Heads" or "man blows out his microphone screaming at minecraft" videos. I mean, capitalism, yea, I get it, people like Spiderman and Elsa more than learning about stuff.
This interpretation seems to be supported by the supporting statements included. Their value to you might be entirely different.
This is a value judgement and therefore it's subjective and function of personal preferences.
I highly suspect if you look at what all the content creators and people receive via ads. Plus overhead of running YouTube. They are likely making tons more money in profit when main content creators are getting the short stick.
