Doesn't this break competition laws?
Couldn't Google/YouTube be sued over this?

Not in the U.S. Not as long as conservatives (incl. neo-liberals) have the power to protect them.

Our conservative politicians are bought and paid for by large anti-competitive corporations.

Bought and paid for with a pittance.

They are bribed for so little that it would be almost easier to make a dystopian sounding PAC with money raised by small dollar donations to bribe them to do what the people want instead of them doing what rich donors want.

Only if that PAC could somehow guarantee a cushy job post politics.
