So get off Youtube (et al) already if you have opinions which do not coincide with the currently desired narrative in Silly Valley. The writing has been on the walls for years now, MegaTech™ has taken it upon themselves to push the desired narrative and frowns upon those who dare to dissent.
Remember the old Soviet joke about there not being news in Pravda, nor being truth in Izvestia? The harder the censor squeezes, the more this becomes applicable to them.
Either roll your own server or get an account on some Peertube instance, use Odysee, use whatever distributed platform you care but do not rely on any of these centrally controlled organs to do your bidding - they listen to another master. Use Youtube (et al) as a content distribution network if you want, referring to your primary channel on that Peertube (etc) instance if you want but try your best not to become dependent on them. The more people do this and the more content is blocked by the censors, the easier it becomes to show the discrepancy between what there is to know and what they want you to know - or not know. This was true for Pravda and Izvestia, it may become true for Youtube-Google/Twitter/Facebook-in-its-many-guises/etc.
