Frankly, I hope YouTube (and Google in general) dramatically overdo it with the censorship, "curation", and deplatforming of "irresponsible" content, purely so that it forces an independent, non-corporate model to be developed.
Having one company be the sole gatekeeper for the overwhelming majority of the web's video content is not a solution.
