> I watch a decent amount of YouTube, but if it went away, I don’t think that it would be a net loss to humanity given what YT shows to children The good old "think of the children" argument used by authoritarian puritans. > and how YT radicalizes viewers As opposed to TV? Cable news? Newspapers? Or any other media? > No one is responsible for content, and look what that’s gotten us. Where has it gotten us? > I would shed no tears if YT ended operation in the EU, where I live. As an american, I feel the same way. Why don't you guys create your own youtube and stop trying to censor everyone else? Oh you can't because of the EU onerous regulations. How ironic. I hate the pro-censorship lobby that has reared its ugly head on hacker news. Everyday, there is a barrage of comments sneakily supporting and defending censorship. Strange. And your "sources" are highly biased at best and "fake news" at worst. It's like asking the telegram company what they think of telephones or the horse what they think of cars.
