I don't understand this kind of thinking.

Free video hosting is good.

The EU doesn't exist to torture every single market until a viable european competitor emerges.

It exists to protect the interests of european citizens (most of whom do not own video hosting platforms), which in this case are perfectly served by YouTube.

And european public television exists to make video journalism available to everyone, which is also served by YouTube. And it's great that you can see content from public television and independent journalism on the same platform.
