Like some sort of union of workers with similar interests?
It seems like this would be more of a cartel.
Because producing creative videos is a limited resource than can be cornered?

Because creators have a business relationship with YouTube, not an employment one.
There have been a few attempts. It never goes anywhere and never will

This attitude is one of the reasons for why it will not go anywhere though. There are plenty of alternatives for YouTube. I think the problem is that there are actually way too many. We need only ONE replacement, and it has to get popular enough. The reason I am saying that we need only one replacement is that I do not expect creators to upload their videos to 100 different YouTube-likes.
But competing with YT is nearly impossible. Maybe YTubers should start talking about some sort of association.
