Great in principle, lacking on delivery imo.
First thing you could mention is that youre talking about platforms not people. Especially the headline reads very different for people here I guess.
That said, youtube doesnt promote what keeps you on the platform, they have other systems for that and for value as well.
They promote what makes them money. Welcome to late stage capitalism. There already are a lot of alternative platforms like means, peertuve and so on. If you view them and talk about them they will grow.

Have you tried talking to a professional about this? It sounds like you’re trying to shield yourself from self hatred by discounting the worth of those you deem lesser in an arbitrary category. Its very common amongst bright but mistreated and or traumatized youth. I wish you good luck.

This is correct and there is a Black Mirror episode that explains it well, the second one of the first season, Fifteen Million Merits.
The final condition of the protagonist in that episode is the one of the Privacy-informing Youtubers and other creators, if they cannot make enough money with Patreon or other independent revenue streams.
And even in that case, the original platform is making the most value out of it.
