And existing monopolies won't give a fuck about it, yeah.

They might not like it but it's what happens anyway. I don't have many examples off the top of my head, but I do know of at least one YouTuber who gives updates on geopolitics.

They might not like it but it’s what happens anyway.

But, what actually happens in reality is, this...

Six corporations own 90% of news media in the United States. They’re NBCUniversal (COMCAST), Disney, Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS), VIACOM, News Corporation, and AT&T. All of these companies have rich executives who’ve been known to fund not just individual politicians, but both heads of the American party (I.E. both the Republican and the Democratic parties). Our government is owned by corporations, and those corporations also own our information.
