Should youtube be more strictly regulated? (and if so, by who?)

Will youtube have this effect everywhere, or are these incidents random? Are there countries where "the opposite" have happened, algorithm linking to healthy things or promoting left-wing videos?

I burned out while studying hard for a software, I got "perfect" grades or close to it, but now there's a mental blockade to even just seeing the UI on my screen. Is there a way to make it fun again, and not scary?

Are these events something that would happen without youtube?

(e.g. if not youtube, then on facebook, if not there, then the next platform, because these predicaments would occur one way or another like a flowing river finding it's own path?)

How long does it take to make it? I know it's "impossible" to answer but please share some insights on the subject of time and resources anyway!
