It's their platform, they can do what they want, but I personally dislike this urge to ban everything the group consensus doesn't like. Leaving aside questions about "which group" and "whose consensus", I don't like it mainly because I've always been the guy in my social circle that is interested in things no one else is. I will watch videos about odd topics because I like to test my base presumptions at times, for example. I went on a flat earth video binge a while back because one friend's wife fell into that rabbit hole. Was there something very basic about my understanding of the world around me that I could be missing somehow? Turns out that, no, there wasn't. Not that I could find through those videos, anyway. Same thing with moon hoax videos. I don't think I've ever watched a nazi video or a holocaust denial one, but I have watched a Sandy Hook one. It was along the lines of assuming the government, or the Left, or whoever, is trying to manipulate you and see what facts you can find that might fit that model, ignoring anything that doesn't fit well. It was an interesting mental exercise, if nothing else. At the very least, where will you point people to examples of people slipping off the tracks without realizing how they got there? I'd rather YT hid them behind the equivalent of an adult content flag, if they feel they have to do something, rather than banning them. They will just appear on some other site, which will suddenly become blocked by all the major players, including banks. Just my opinion, and an admittedly unpopular one.
