Tim Pool has some good points here. I could see YouTube becoming the next Myspace / Yahoo. I say Myspace because people are leaving for less censored platforms and Yahoo because of their investment into Alibaba. The latter became the most valuable part of Yahoo. Alphabet, the parent of YouTube along with other silicon valley oligarchs are spending Billions on under sea fiber optic cables. This will soon give them the competitive advantage of controlling internet flow. Not only will they be able to censor content creators but are also slow or deny access to the internet to anyone. Google builds its own sub-sea cable from the US to France
Internet Backbone
Tech Oligarchs will continue to control the world on data for decades to come. Even if they loose their front ends aka Facebook, YouTube ect they will maintain control over what the world can see.
