Then they shouldn't be permitted to operate at a scale where their unwillingness to do business with you causes you to be unable to transact with entire business sectors. If digikey decides they don't want to do business with me, I am not suddenly unable to buy from 30% of the world's manufacturers, unable to sell to 70% of my customers and locked out of my manufacturing line's plc. If Safeway decides to decline my business, I am not locked out of eating bread from anyone who buys their flour from them. If Cocacola doesn't want to renew our contract because I mentioned to my customers that we also stock Pepsi, I can still buy Cocacola from the wholesaler and resell it, and regardless I don't lose access to my accountant and mailbox when they terminate that relationship. | ||

But Youtube really did nothing to become or preserve its monopoly really. It's really a reinforcing most creators -> most users -> most money -> most creators -> most users. | ||
