The platform is just too big. Disclaimer; I'm only talking about technically. Not about breaking up their monopoly.

Youtube has been showing signs of being out of control for a few years now. To me it actually started with my mom getting a fraud ad in a google service that almost made her give up her credit card info to win an imaginary phone.

Lately I've been seeing porn on youtube, ads for young girls and even videos with out right porn that have been up for several months and have millions of views.

They mostly fly under the radar by posting in other languages like Thai for example.

This combined with the "randomly" blocked accounts tells me that the whole platform is too big. They've been expanding all over the world but haven't been able or willing to grow their oversight at the same pace.
