Impossible? That's a stretch. They can do anything they want. This is obviously on purpose. I'm not saying I know why, but the intentionality of it is obvious, in my opinion.

YouTube's current policy isn't an accident or secret: "YouTube doesn't allow content that spreads medical misinformation that contradicts local health authorities’ or the World Health Organization’s (WHO) medical information about COVID-19. ... Don’t post content on YouTube if it includes any of the following: Claims that Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine are effective treatments for COVID-19" https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9891785?hl=en https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9891785?hl=en (The part about Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine was added in early April.)
