This is typical of the "capitalism at any cost" mindset that libertarian edgelords want.
You also see this inside eBay, or really any company that doesn't produce it's own content, simply sells / hosts other peoples content. They are willing to have any content that brings viewership/engagement, and thus ad revenue. They don't feel they should police content unless it's black-and-white illegal (eg child exploitation.) Anything that isn't immediately going to kill or get someone arrested is perfectly fine until it's not.
With Youtube, they should have acted around 2012. Because slimebucket stars of youtube were ready and willing to throw the shitty people off the site in favor of creators that aren't shitty people, yet it's the shitty people that drive engagement.
Gee you think that maybe the reason shitty people are attracted to each other is because they are shitty people, and those shitty people might drive engagement, but I assure you those shitty people are also the first ones to block ads.

I see no problem here (except with some employees who are complaining, who should probably be fired).

No, it is not related to capitalism. Many Marxists share the view I am espousing, in fact.
