But how would they buy YouTube in the first place? How would Google even be what it is today without rich shareholders pumping in money for decades? Without harvesting and selling user data?

How far do you want to take this? Companies exist. They still would in a socialist economy.
Nobody is talking about a post scarcity world where money doesn’t exist, and nobody hast to work for a living.

Who and/or what would drive the company to such a size? You think Bill Gates would put all that work in just to give away the entire company? You think Mark Zuckerberg would sit for hours and hours into the night and nonstop code Facebook, just to not own it?

Yes. They would own it. So would the rest of their employees.

Divided how? Does Gates give away half his company when he hires his first employee?
