Being the most popular platform doesn’t make something a monopoly.

Instead of arguing about the semantics of "monopoly," it could be fun to ask "does YouTube have power that we as a self-governing people should regulate?"

I think it does. Others disagree. Sometimes it's an interesting discussion.

If there's no substantial competition, it's a monopoly. Intentionality isn't that important. It's about market power.
