We don't really need to control speech, just need tools to cater to the new reality of fast spreading information.
I wonder how a YouTube with a max-views limit would work. Similar with Twitter. Content "removed" after 250k views or something.

Reupload with mirrored video or whatnot is already a thing.

Small and independent websites have been taken offline for less. Why should these conglomerates who extinguished the original web be given a free pass? Ban them all, I say.

I think small and independent should also not be taken down. I also don't advocate for free pass, I say we shouldn't look for solution in cancellation of people or platforms.
Close the website or ban the users should never be our first response. As I said, we should demand tools to counter this.
For example, environment protection groups can demand exposure, i.e. a link or a paragraph under the videos of the people who do these questionable things.
If this behaviour is an actually damaging thing, reach the kids in school to tell them what's the problem with it.

Till very recently we had teenagers swatting(the practice of calling armed police with pretext of armed incident) each others when gaming. Is that still a thing?

If there's actual damage done, then probably that location needs better environment protection laws and institutions. People were destroying the envoronment way before the social media and that's how we have rules on waste disposal or animal farming.
