Let's first take a look at what makes these platforms bad, and why centralization in this particular industry isn't that good.
There happens to be a lot of censorship when it comes to these platforms, and Youtube, in particular, is very well known for fucking over their creators, whether it's from demonization, copyright strikes, or other issues that comes to their content.
With the decentralization of these platforms, these issues would be non-existent, and the way this would be done would be via everyone controlling a bit of youtube, and it works in a decentralized democratic environment.

Maybe something similar to YouTube and Facebook can get into existence functioning over the smart contract platform. The present platform can't be changed to be entirely decentralized. Also there is no need of making YouTube completely decentralized, because without reviewing the contents it isn't possible to broadcast to the public. Through smart contract it can be performed, but some contents create controversy.

I think I've seen different projects that aims to have a decentralized social network but it didn't do good. People still prefer the centralized social networks because we've used to use it and it's hard to get away from it.
About decentralized platform like youtube, I think dlive suits the description of it.

I started to learn about crypto two months ago. Bitcoin, Monero, Ethereum etc. make total sense to me.
I can't, however, understand why it would make sense to decentralize large online platforms like Youtube and Facebook. Or let's say: I don't understand how this could work.
Bitcoin has a decentralized ledger where all transactions are stored. How would that ledger look for a decentralized Youtube or Facebook?
Or am I missing something? Does decentralization mean something different in this regard?
Thank you!
PS: I'm asking because I again and again read headlines that say something along the line of "everything will be decentralized".
