My point is that they intentionally obtained an effective monopoly on content, so it's weird of them to complain about too many people wanting to watch content there.

How exactly did they obtain a monopoly on content? They don't name most content creators sign exclusivity agreements.

I said an effective monopoly. Most people who create a video will automatically upload it to YouTube without even thinking about alternatives.
