Yep. It's how 'you'tube became 'corp'tube. Remember when the selling point of youtube was 'you'? > Then the advertisers, professionals, and hucksters will swoop in, do their thing, and slowly overshadow the old "normal" users. It's more insidious than that. Corporations demand special treatment, favorable algorithms and censorship. In the past, when breaking news occurred, I checked youtube, reddit, etc to get more raw news from ordinary people. Now it's all censored on these platforms. Similar to how 'you' can't use bad words on youtube, but corporate entities can. The scales have been tipped overwhelmingly to one side. But I guess that was inevitable.
