"So you want regulators to decide how much of a profit corporations should have for a non essential service like smoking cigarettes?

Yes I want regulators to dictate how a behemoth corporate entity like Alphabet uses a platform like Youtube in ways that they both unduly profit from and are unacceptably detrimental to society as a whole.

Entities like Alphabet continue to grow and grow and the corrosive effects of their growth need to be checked some how. If you don't advocate for regulation than what mechanisms are you anticipating will mitigate the negative aspects of these kinds of entities?

And the government still allows you to smoke cigarettes. Just like if you don’t want to risk getting cancer by smoking you don’t smoke.

If you don’t like the shit show that is YouTube - don’t use YouTube.
