OTOH, google's ad-models have thoroughly broken models of financing reporting that wasn't as reliant on clickbait to even get seen. While surely not the sole culprit, the need to create engagedness at all cost has increased polarization and also has a mental health cost.

Youtube is serving as a major driver of different forms of radicalization (ISIS, alt right, etc).

I'm not saying that you should resign. But I do think we all have the tendency to not evenly attempt to assuage technology risks. Partially there's an attention bias towards specific concerns (e.g. free speech / censorship), partially a negative attention bias towards things that pay our bills.
