This does not explain why there are not reasonable auto-complete suggestions for the keyword "1776". YouTube can(and does) black-hole certain combinations of keywords it deems not-suitable. e.g. "where to buy"(completions) vs "where to buy guns"(no completions). If problematic keywords were associated with "1776" such as the "1776 Moment" example listed in another comment, YouTube could simply block that, and allow more reasonable completions to remain. They're not doing that, and that is curious to me.
- PaulHoule 3y agoTrying to do that is a game of whack-a-mole. At some point you decide to enforce a boundary that's far away from the boundary you really want to enforce because it is easier. For instance if I was running a photo collection site (I used to) I would not accept any erotic photos at all because that way I won't have to deal with "is this CSAM?" or "is this revenge porn?"

They are already doing it with myriad other combinations of search terms. If your hypothesis was correct, you would think they would be censoring the search string "January 6th 2021", yet even it has suggested completions. "July 4th, 1776" is a much more historically important date than that, and it has none.
