Youtube as a platform is trash (in my opinion). Not to say there aren’t some gems in there.
I’m not familiar with the channels you mentioned but trust your judgment. I would love to see a platform curated with high quality content.
“Hey mom and dad can I use ‘historyTube’” “Absolutely!”
Easy.
The analogies don’t really hold. Traditional Broadcasters have some standards. Jackass is Disney compared to the back alley swamp that is YouTube.
Think about the experience of going into a library or bookstore vs. YouTube, the content mix is not comparable.
The algorithms, content scale, and access is another world.

The Australian ban, and proposed bans in other countries (generally I only looked at a couple) aren’t targeting things like Nebula though, focus is on large scale user to user platforms.
I just checked out YouTube front page in a fresh browser and it’s several tiers below Romantasy in my opinion. You may have a more personalized experience, but the front door of Youtube is… nauseating.
The medium matters as well, the audio, visuals, length, like a sleezy, hyper active content casino.
Anyway, I cheer for any friction added to these tech companies because they are doing so much harm, so anything to slow them down.
But I do get the concerns around IDs and privacy (I personally wouldn’t provide any). I think regulatory capture concerns are real as well. My preference would be on targeting the recommendation systems, and also making the platforms liable for content they are broadcasting.

It’s not at all comparable. If I go into a library and get a book on fixing cars, the librarian doesn’t follow me around suggesting Joe Rogan.
Kids books from the library don’t autoplay a pipeline of incrementingly extreme, dangerous or vapid content.
I don’t see the value in the data being greater than the cost of administrating a patchwork of varied regulations across the globe.
