But a creator can? There's Vimeo, Twitch, and Patreon to name the big ones that come to mind. Youtube has real issues with de-monetization and search algorithms that should be addressed in some way, but I don't see how it's anti-competitive that they have built a platform that attracts tons of viewers, nor that they've found a way to monetize those viewers.
