I don't think they care a fig, tbh. If they did, then they'd have a small department that watched for bad publicity like this, and proactively fixed it ASAP. It would cost them virtually nothing, and solve the reputational problem overnight.

Good point. But whether they do (or don't) care, the fact that these problems aren't being fixed for so long now implies that they don't consider the damage to their bottom line to be significant enough to invest any major resources into fixing them. Which is why thinking about competitive solutions is worth-while, I think. Having a platform that would solve these problems well, and hence poach the disillusioned creators, might be enough motivation for YouTube to start moving.
