Should YouTubers Unionize?

Don't know if this belongs here, but...
Youtube has a known history of screwing over its content creators. I'm wondering if it'll be beneficial (or even possible) for them to unionize. A lot positions in the entertainment industry have unions; There's the Screen Actor's Guild, the Writer's Guild, the Director's Guild, etc.
If a YouTube Content Creator's Guild were a thing, would it cause more problems than it fixes? Is it's purpose essentially just filled in by the Networks of Youtube?
Of course, some flaws I see in this are 1) Without a big name in the ranks, it would probably go nowhere, 2) Whatever demands it makes would probably be denied/laughed at/both, and 3) If every single member of the guild were to drop YouTube, would it make a significant dent in its revenue, or would they just quickly be replaced by the next big thing?
