I would prefer if youtube could organize their channel so dubious opinions had a voice and rebuttal. That would be better than just removing them.
Even more, Youtube has the problem that it's algorithms push people TOWARDS the most dubious, conspiracy-driven views until and unless youtube actually removes the video.
So Youtube has multiple things to balance and removing harmful bullshit is the best of the triage they seem to be able to do on their platform.
And I had a couple of my less-informed, more mentally unstable Facebook friends sharing those videos along with angry screams about the shutdown being unnecessary - one friend prefaced the video with "that does, I'm not wearing a mask any more" (he works at a hospital, I kid you not).
