The EU, since they actually give a damn about antitrust, needs to look long and hard at:

* YouTube running at a loss for years until they achieved overwhelming market dominance. We might all be using Vimeo or something else.

* The forced bundling of YouTube Music. Leveraging a monopoly for a foothold in another market is also not okay.

Maybe people aren't actively leaving YouTube, but they are using a lot less of it for other platforms like TikTok.

Nebula for one

Nebula's great for long-form content creators, but it's not a place where an amateur can put up their hobby tutorials.

Until one day it becomes just such a place by developing a free tier.

Vid.me! Its pretty much a copy of youtube but no-ads and no subscription needed. Has tons of content and lots of creators have started channels there.

Oh wait, thats right, it went bankrupt in 2017. They released a statement saying "Nobody wants to watch ads, nobody wants to pay a subscription, we have no revenue stream."
