The establishment media is promoted in all corners of the internet. The problem really isn't necessarily big tech and section 230.
The problem is that corporations don't want their ads associated with controversial content. As much as I hate government intervention, a law here might be useful.
In theory, you could use legislature to prevent corporations from discriminating based on content, but they might spend less money on advertising.
Seems to me that YT and other big tech companies should just grow some balls and tell corporations to get bent. More content = more viewers = more watch time = more ad space. All they have to do is lower the price and the volume will increase. If prices were to to get low enough, all businesses would buy ads.

Youtube and other big tech are the corporations.
In a way the current model is fine. Alternative media has alternative ad revenue. If we just keep growing, alternative becomes mainstream.
