For me it has always been confusing that how these decisions come to be. Specifically, in Canada the internet is overpriced and it is getting more monopolized by the day. A Canadian YouTuber's recent story of being in front of a house committee really put things into context
His response to the ad-hominem is just flat-out the wrong answer for the committee. The answer is to address his main point, which is to say that there are many non-Canadian creators that won’t go through the hoops when they start out, and who get buried under the algorithm by the large producers who do, stifling growth. Just railing about government overreach is just the most easily dismissed talking point.

Long story short, the decision makers live in a small bubble that tells them what they want to hear
