I absolutely love the BookTube community. While I don't personally make bookish content for YouTube specifically, the bookish corner of YouTube is definitely something I'm checking out regularly during my week.
There was also a point in time where I did make very basic bookish videos. Basic bookish videos were the best I could do at the time, so I'm not kicking myself for doing them. (All of which have been deleted at this point.) I did curate some playlists of my reading music (based on what I could access on YouTube), all of which are to the right of the blog as a link list under the name of "Reading Music Playlists."
The BookTube community is definitely a fun little section of the entire bookish community. You can get so many things from it due to the fact that it is in video form. You can get book recommendations, Booktubers' TBR lists, reading wrap ups, etc.
Additionally, you do have some extra bonuses. When you just have pictorial posts - i.e. simply photos of books along with a caption of some sort - there's definitely some aspects of communication that are lost. You don't see someone's body language, facial expressions, or hear their tone of voice when it's just photos on Instagram or Twitter. In YouTube videos, you see when the reader gets excited about a book or isn't caring about it through their nonverbal cues (examples are earlier in this paragraph).
Will I do BookTube again and stick to it? It's possible. I love talking about books. There would be some things I'd have to work with - figuring out how and where to record and what to talk about are just a few examples.
But if you haven't checked out the bookish community over on BookTube, I highly recommend doing so ASAP.
