Google absolutely can do all of those things without an algorithm. What they can't do is accomplish that without impacting profit margins (or at the minimum, executive bonuses). "If it impacts business as usual, then it is impossible" is a naive/flawed/libertarian stance.

I’m usually a proponent of the “wall garden” when it comes to applications and strict sandboxing for most users, since software can harm your computer.

But in the case of YouTube, there is absolutely no way that they can curate it and it still being as open as it is.

There is no need to curate every video, only the ones qualified enough to be recommended/showcased to the public who is not explicily looking for them.

Say I watch a video on a topic like "nes video game speed running". Right now I'd see other nes video game speed running videos, it's very useful. In a curated world, what would be recommended? It's probably too much of a niche topic to yield results that would be very useful.
