Every boomer e celeb i watch always talked about Super Nintendo vs Genesis and that kids back then picked 1. But so far, every e celeb i watched grew up with the Super Nintendo. I dont know a single boomer e celeb that was a "Sega kid".

I'm old and can only speak for the UK, but your choices were
SNES: Expensive and very limited library
Megadrive: Cheaper as it was seen as older than the SNES, better PAL library and all you needed to do to play imports was snip 2 plastic tags off the cart slot so they fit
Amiga: nearly everybody had one of these in their bedrooms, along side their console of choice, pirates dream.

In the US I would say it was closer to 60/40 SNES-Gen, but it didn't seem like that at the time. Most kids my age really had the perception that Genesis was 'better' and more popular, because of the advertising.

And OP there were plenty of Sega-loyal kids, well into the DC era. Most of them seem to have grown up with console generations though, and aren't as interested in retro gaming. You'll notice that the Sega crowd who have their eyes cast backwards in time have certain neurological tendencies... not all of em, but here in the US there is a certain type.

I was a Sega kid in US and in my school it felt pretty damn close to 50/50 Nintendo/Sega, maybe shifting to 60/40 for Nintendo as the gen went on. As for why more youtubers are Nintendo fans...well after the snes, Nintendo continued to have a massive impact on the industry with the N64 and Pokemon which left a big impression on late 90s kids while Sega kinda limped on with the Saturn and one last (short) hurrah with the Dreamcast.

I think another factor is the fact that Nintendo is still making consoles/games and the perception that the snes library has aged better for normies...there is just something about jrpgs and mario.

Meanwhile Snes gave me some of the most memorable gaming experiences ever, all i remember from Genesis were a bunch of beat em ups that blended together in how samey they were.

This kid was cursed, he was stupid enough to get the Saturn instead of the psx and the Dreamcast instead of the Ps2, he was a moron and spent way too much time at my house playing my games because of that. Every single player game i owned had a second savestate for him.
