However, once they start discriminating as to which videos/speech they’ll disallow or which ones they’ll demonetize, they can no longer claim to be a public forum. They have become a publisher, and publishers can be sued and even held criminally accountable for the speech they choose to publish. YouTube does not want this.

Then they should be held to this standard, and if Google tries to buy out any upstart competitors (which are sorely needed for YouTube) their trust should be promptly bust.
