I don't know about monopolisation (other than Google/YT's massive reach) but their shadow banning of comments is something I find worrying. You can't say something without double checking if it's been binned, and it doesn't have to be that controversial. I made a comment on some chap making a living from scraping and mentioned mozrepl, tried submitting about 5 variations of it but it never stuck. So all those millions of comments on there, who's to say what the middle ground is (other than the filter).
