It’s a private company.
It’s a huge platform, but YouTube can choose what YouTube is.
The only way any change happens is if YouTube gets raked over the coals by enough content producers (that they could collectively start their own platform) by media and potentially by governments (recognising them as some sort of critical communications or something and implementing regulations?).
Or if all the YouTube viewers decide they have had enough and go elsewhere (where, tho? Kinda goes hand-in-hand with creators starting their own platform).
So the pressure needs to keep building, YouTube needs to keep doing shitty things. Eventually… Hopefully?.. Something changes: YouTube gets better, a new platform is born.
