"instead we see Youtube desperately trying to go Hollywood, offering lucrative contracts to production companies and celebrities to create branded content for the site"
Last time I've saw the TV it had feature films about wild life and a lot of youtube videos about pets but not one "celebrity" in sight.
The word "celebrity" makes me want to vomit.
Can we please ignore that and instead disrupt just that part of Hollywood and TV that doesn't make us vomit? And don't touch the other part with 5 meter pole.

You aren't getting that money until you shrug off what you have left of your moral values, so the only feasible thing is that part that doesn't offer easy money. Instead offering real product and real satisfaction.
