i agree with your sentiment, but misunderstand the 'confusion' (definately wrong word, sorry) about the source being on yt.

of course one mega corp is going to utilise another mega corps infrastructure. these institutions must back each other, forcing customers to go to their friends store is better (and cheaper) for them in every imaginable sense.

i guess what the crux of my misunderstanding is why the source even matters. really the source is abc or whatever, so uploading it to peertube or archive.org is better anyway, right?

idk, let me know if i understood or not.
