We have a free market. Anyone can build a video platform. PayPal existed before Stripe.

You're welcome to build your own video platform.

Of course, if Google doesn't approve your content, nobody can find it, and if Cloudflare doesn't approve of your content, it isn't actually online.

And, with everybody locked up, you can't go advertise it in the physical world.

So, basically, unless Google and Cloudflare like your content -- or the major media bullies them into liking your content -- your content does not exist.
