> Youtube is a private company and can do whatever they want with their own website.
A big chunk of our culture is hosted by that company. Not sure if that makes a difference, but imho, it should.

Why is such a big chunk of our culture is hosted by a private company?
It’s a bit concerning that you mention being hosted by a “private” company. Would you prefer the government hosting this data?
In the world I dream of, I could easily (and "easily" is the key word wrt the fact we're not there yet) host my own stuff and it would be visible to other people without a company or a government as intermediaries (except maybe for infrastructure, but that's something that can be solved, in the abstract, by mesh networks).
Of course we're not even close to having that, but the point is we should (IMHO) point our efforts in that direction. Is there money there? I don't know. Should I care there is no money there? I'm not sure.
> Instead, you all wanted to make money. (Understandable)
There isn't as much margin in self hosting and dumb pipes
