The problem I have with youtube is that they initially let ANY content on their platform without moderation. They worked very hard to attract videos from all over the place. Then the second they were the dominant platform, they started banning, shadow banning, demonetizing, and deleting content they didn't agree with--often content they actively courted a few years earlier.

It seems their master plan was to draw everyone into their platform then, once there were no viable alternatives, destroy any content they did not agree with.
