By that same logic, you should worry about the creators on YT when advocating actions harmful to YT.

Speaking for myself, I disagree.

YT is bad, and so is LTT, and by extension, Floatplane.

After LTT unambiguously showed their true colors, and doubled down, I unsubscribed and removed all of trace of their ecosystem from my digital habits.

YT is a bit harder to do that with, so I use alternative methods to extract the value/uses from their service. It works for me.
