There appears to be a disturbing consensus here that YouTube HAS to moderate. Why? If YouTube isn't held responsible for the content, and are treated merely as a carrier, you can imagine layer 2 filtering businesses emerge, if YouTube let them. YouTube could still be the repository, still make money, but get out of the business of deciding who gets to see what.

Because they already found out what happens when they don't moderate enough: major advertisers leave the platform entirely. With their money.
YouTube is an internet advertising company like pretty much everything else Google. That they serve video content is ancillary.
