> we've lacked an open social network platform that solves the problem of putting content distribution directly in the hands of content producers
I don't know about "open", but YouTube does this pretty well IMO. Search results aren't based on your profile, and it all seems pretty un-"managed", in a Twitter Files sense. I know it does do demonetization if people complain, but while it's not perfect, it's not unreasonable.
YouTube prioritizes "authoritative sources" when searching for certain topics, which means channels of legacy media outlets.
Are we sure that your profile doesn't affect search results? I'd expect the opposite, considering it's Google and one of the things they're known for is changing search results based on your profile.
I think it does. I remember that some of my more common search results changed to include children's content after I went on a lazytown binge out of nostalgia
