Sounds very similar to Disney wanting to go alone and pull out of Netflix. Content creation is expensive and digital platforms either need to create their own stuff or pay up.

That doesn't seem comparable. Netflix and YouTube both have specific monetization systems, where a cut of the revenue goes to the content creator.

Facebook doesn't seem to have anything like that. You can pay to appear on there, you cannot get paid to appear on Facebook.
