How is that in Youtube’s interest?

  Preventing their talent from organizing? Squashing unions and labor movements is as old as labor itself. Think about it: does Amazon really stand to lose everything if a warehouse full of minimum wage workers demand healthcare? No. Then why does Amazon fight it? For control, plain and simple.

    But YouTube is actually just hurt by the copyright trolls. YouTube's best interest would be for the trolls to be excised so real creators wouldn't get burned out and driven off.

      If this were true, they would do something about the trolls. But they're not.

        The only "real creators" Youtube cares about are big media companies that provide licensed first-party content and high-value professional accounts. Everyone else is at best inconsequential and at worst net negatives to the platform, as far as Google is concerned.

      Yes, but if they organize around this issue they might organize around others which is easier if they're already organized.
