There’s the ultimate problem. We accepted the idea of YouTube as a platform. It doesn’t have to be that way. You could have your own website, post your videos to all video hosting services (including YouTube) and engage with your supporters only through your website.
I think it's similar to how the big monopoly sites like X, Reddit & YT have conditioned people to stay within their walled gardens. And killed off all the old Internet forums.
Pretty much any effort I've seen to get fans off Big Tech & on to personal websites have failed. I'm guilty of it myself.
