Is YouTube Killing Small Creators?

There are many creators pointing out that YouTube has been pushing mainstream content over creator content to its users and many claim that is happening contrary to what those users are subbed to and looking for.

The question is, do you believe YouTube is pushing smaller channels down to promote mainstream media and such? 

There was a recent video posted by Shadiversity (although you can find many others) explaining the issues:

YouTube used to be just that, You Tube. Where anybody could make a channel. Now, it's more about the bigwigs & they are big as well on censorship. Pushing their one-sided agenda which I don't think is fair.

It does very much feel like it is has lost the small creator side of the platform.  And sadly that does not make it anymore appealing to me as the push for big media means I get more recommended videos about things that are on TV or in other media outlets instead of new content.
