And so does YouTube and everyone else in the food chain — Except those of us mandated to meet accessibility and education laws.

The crux of the problem: now that most of our industry is owned by private investment firms, their main question is how can I make more money out of this? Doing something good for society or because it helps the majority with little cost, isn't on their radar.

Our little industry is now viewed as a commodity to be exploited.
