I'm going to find one for the first. It is in this ▶ this video The second one is pretty obvious, Three former PayPal employees—Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim—created the service in February 2005. With what we know of Peter Thiel I think the burden of proof is on you that he doesn't make use of the knowledge he has on specific network work effects of youtube. Just like he installed Donald Trump with Facebook in the White House.
I wish there were more interviews with Daniel Schmachtenberger. His interview on Eric Weinstein’s podcast [0] was also great. [0] ▶ this video
"And I also think you take away responsibility of the viewers if they don't need to be critical about any information." This is exactly the problem currently though - the general population doesn't have either the time or critical thinking developed to understand this. Daniel Schmachtenberger on Eric Weinstein's The Portal episode #27 said: “... and the most awesome thing of the current system [of suppressing unruly people] we don’t even have to deal with protestors with tear gas or bean bags or whatever mostly, because mostly addiction, and student debt, and information overwhelm and those things deal with the people adequately so they don’t actually understand enough or care enough or have the capacity to organize very meaningly." Eric replied: “We just legalize weed and make porn free and everyone’s de-motivated.." - timestamped link to talk ▶ this video - but I'd highly recommend watching the whole interview. The goal has to be getting the population healthy enough to be responsible and reasonable, rational enough, otherwise these hierarchal systems lead by people are guiding this like parents raise children until people are mature enough; the extreme of this would be CCP controlling China's population.
