Even in the 'best' of times, YT's banning and strikes system is pretty awful. It'll ban channels for playing random static noise in the background while letting children see some very adult content. And that's considered 'normal' for YT. HN is filled with such stories and data. Honestly, at the scale YT operates, I'd imagine it should be worse that it already is.
Obviously, YT's ban on Donny is not random or capricious, it's very intentional.
But the larger issue remains that YT is a bad host to begin with and has been for nearly a decade. Maybe the larger YT community, including advertisers, needs a better choice than what it currently uses. Or a better legal framework in which to operate as YT.
