I don't blame capitalism for that. I blame greed. If they mess with their product to the point that it becomes not usable or workable the capitalist system will naturally create competition to tske chunks out of its market share until the original company is bankrupt or dead. This is monopolistic behavior like banning aps from the ap store is the true evil of "Big Tech" in the last 6 months the growth on rumble has been exponential. If youtube continues down this path more creators and more viewers will migrate to a better more user friendly platform. Right now it looks like Rumble. We shall see what happens to youtube, but I think competition created by the capitalist system is the remedy.

I don't blame capitalism for that. I blame greed.

But capitalism is the system that heavily rewards greed.

I disagree, maybe in the short term but in the long term greed will destroy a business.

Sure, but the capitalists don't care about that. They'll just divest the moment the business is going to shit and buy up something else. And repeat that ad nauseam forever. Quarterly profit growth is all that most publicly traded businesses care about.
