We should quit watching YouTube. YouTubers are more proof of overconsumption. People should not be willingly shilling for corps for ad revenue. Just turn it off.

    I'd say Youtube is a case of lack of competition making an oligopoly. And sadly for quite a few matters, it's still the "least worse" option.

    Still, I'd urge to people, though I know it's an uphill battle, to at least keep alternatives at hand.
