For a while, YouTube was a free-wheeling wild west outpost. It still is, to a degree, but as it attempts to chase corporate ad funny money, it is starting to silence and displace the most out-there, and consequently more interesting channels. It is also starting to heavily promote corporate videos... that few people watch. YouTube is a microcosm of the US economy. The corporate ersatz culture has infested everything, but it's trash. It's repetitive, empty garbage. The focus on phony debt money in the United States has turned the culture into trash. Many people--not a majority, but a sizable fraction--are just starting to abandon it.
Corporatocracy is like herding people with spider webs. It's really annoying to walk into a spider web, but it can't stop you from going where you want. Corporations are really physically weak and require a specific mode of consciousness--idleness--of the mass of the population to carry out their plans. I think it's gone about as far as it can. As big corporations start to get more in normal people's faces, they'll just start to ignore them, or maybe even attack their infrastructure with glee.
I think there will be a crisis of confidence in the US financial system relatively soon. The "establishment" has interests that are completely contrary to the average citizen of the country. The ghouls and freaks that people the institutions of the United States government and establishment are despised. I can't really imagine with any accuracy what this is going to look like.
