Don't blame YouTube, blame the Democrat Propaganda Machine. Justice Department was breathing down their necks. Censorship at its finest.

Correct answer there. Best thing is to get the word out and stop using them

Who exactly are you, noted nobody of the poliboard with less than 300 posts in 8 years, that thinks I owe you answers to questions?

The people who control Google/YouTube are total crap.They're worse than the old Twitter regime under Jack Dorsey. It's a shame, because Youtube has the best format on the internet.

I don't even create content, but they have me shadowbanned like crazy.

Sure but then they should lose protections if they're actively curating content.

Yeah, but this is nothing compared to the genocide that Trump currently has going in the US. If you think censorship is bad, you are a fascist in a cult that should be shot in the neck in front of your family.

I almost don't have a problem with this as it's their company. BUT, to the extent FBI or any other government department leaned on them to do this, that's an issue. But, I think the Supreme Court got around slapping big tech for this by saying they could act on recommendations, that's their decision and not censorship.

I don't even think it was lean, it was pure blackmail. I'm sure the DOJ threatened their executives with the mother of all investigations to get them to comply. That's a First Amendment problem right there.

“Our democracy” is their preferred nomenclature.
