Youtube is just the database with video. Just use a different frontend. The problem is if I actually want recommended videos but without Google knowing about it, then it is hard due to the massive amount of videos. Only Google have the money so scan everything.
And Google can pull the plug on the database whenever they want, just like Reddit or Twitter did with third party apps.
Yes, they can, like any other company or organization can. But they can't remove the humans producing. That means the humans will just go anywhere else. Youtube is a standalone product that they probalby want to keep as I think it pays for itself with that amount of ads.
