I read it as 'the market wouldn't exist at all'. The margins would either be a lot thinner, allowing less experimentation and players or not exist.
YouTube might be paid like Vimeo, social networks might be a lot smaller (say school or town level), and live-streaming for private individuals might not exist at all.

These seem a bit contradictory. You're saying that not taking responsibility gives these huge companies, companies that have heavily consolidated the media market through acquisition, the ability to become the size that they are. But you're also saying without that protection, the market would be more consolidated.
