YouTube is not a monopoly and you do not have any right to any kind of creators or audience at all.

If McDonald's mistreats you, and every other restaurant tastes like garbage to you: tough titty, but that doesn't provide grounds for the govt. to regulate McDonald's.

We decide whether those grounds exist or not.
I don't know what point you're arguing here. Presently these grounds very obviously don't exist, and are also very unlikely to exist in the future.

Which is irrelevant when discussing how we'd like to update the laws.

The Herfindahl-Hirschman index on Youtube is easily in excess of 5,000 points... and you don't think it counts as a monopoly at all? What a high bar.
