YouTube is a business with a clearly-defined business model, precisely-tracked direct metrics, and automation up the wazoo. Not a government taking taxes and dealing with human elements for which there are very few direct metrics. They can pay creators based on watch hours or some other usage metric.

Sign up for a month, binge, cancel, next.

That's not going to last. As soon as they run the numbers and decide it's worth it, they'll create ways to lock you in.

Stopping math is never a good idea. By limiting your own constituents, you set their progress back from what other governments' constituents can achieve.

Also, effectively replacing a CEO requires AGI level capabilities. We're closer to that than ever before, but LLMs in their current state aren't it.

They lost almost half their ad revenue. I'd call that recent. Of course, it hasn't actually killed the platform...

It's not a very good point. You do have a say: vote.

Though it can be reasonably argued that voting doesn't work because of all the corruption, in which case all I can say is we need to stop the two party tyranny by ending FPTP voting and promote/enact ideas that reduce the influence that money can have on politics.
