Yup. Not only do corporations have no way to rationally judge these things they have innumberable perverse incentives to not even try to judge and just ban everything. Whatever hurts their bottom line will soon be censored as well as anything that even remotely looks like it.
Initially no one will leave because alternative don't allow you to rake in money or have the network effect like youtube does. But as the noose tightens and the money dries up people will act on their greed and move away to some new centralized service. Then it'll happen again in a handful years time.
The only way to cut this gordian knot and break the cycle is to use federated services, p2p, or self-host.
