The 1A doesn’t apply to private companies 
I think youtube is horribly biased though.

I really hope the market finds a solution to this before YouTube becomes a legal monopoly via regulatory capture, but I don't think it happens.

I get what you mean, but google is publicly traded.
Needless to say, people should just stop using YouTube. Their direction is very clear.

Just over 66% of video removals were for being spam, misleading content or scams, while 90% of channel removals fell into that category. Hate speech violations accounted for 1.2% of video removals and 0.4% of channel removals.

The problem is multi faceted.
1 - most techies savvy enough to make it work are liberal progressive nerds in it for the big bucks.
2 - google serves the ads.
3 - woke corporations are on board with this censorship and they buy the ad space.
That's all just the tip of the iceberg. You get into hacking and security issues, corporate saboteurs and spies, etc. Organized boycotts.
Google is like a small fascist country being run and protected within our own borders.

Do they monitor you tube tv the same way?

If you cannot apply the first amendment then how bout the tried and true 14th?

The issue lies with whether or not YouTube is a public forum. They certainly claim to be a public forum - this insulates then from any civil or criminal culpability for anything posted on their servers. As long as YouTube has that distinction then they can’t really be sued for anything anyone says or does in the videos.
However, once they start discriminating as to which videos/speech they’ll disallow or which ones they’ll demonetize, they can no longer claim to be a public forum. They have become a publisher, and publishers can be sued and even held criminally accountable for the speech they choose to publish. YouTube does not want this.
Currently Prager U is suing YouTube/Google/Alphabet and is asking the court to make a determination. Either way is really fine, but YouTube will have to pick a side and follow that set of rules (or be forced to do such by the courts).

Then they should be held to this standard, and if Google tries to buy out any upstart competitors (which are sorely needed for YouTube) their trust should be promptly bust.

Your quotes are misleading. The 100,000 vids and 17,000 channels are derived by multiplying the 1.2% by 9,000,000 videos removed and the 0.4% by the 4,000,000 channels removed (+1000 wtf?). I don't know why the inflated from 16 to 17k.
That being said it was a small % of removals and YT has no 1A obligations.

Apparently you still don't understand what a "public forum" is and the difference between it and a "publisher".
just another leftist lie, like calling George Stephanopoulus or Anderson Cooper "journalists".

None of this is correct...that is not how 1A application is determined. Internet forums are not the state. The law (which stat # I can't recall) does not hold internet companies liable for what users post - otherwise the internet wouldn't be possible. There's no requirement for "public forum" or non-discrimination in POVs.

It’s amazing that idiots like you want to be sensored by big tech liberal nerds. And do you not know about the protection YouTube receives, by law, for being classified as a platform and not a publisher? When was the last time AT&T cut off your phone conversation for “hate” speech?
And isn’t it amazing how hate speech isn’t applied when talking about President Trump? That must be live speech??

Attorney General Barr needs to instruct the Antitrust Division to get to work.
