The real problem with YouTube is the censorship, both of creators and commenters, when they aren't saying anything offensive or problematic but simply referencing different companies, corporations, governments, countries or industries.

I'm in favor of censorship in some cases - which is why it really takes an insane amount of ridiculous nonsensical censorship that actually hinders constructive online communication for me to be saying there's a problem with censorship. I thought I'd never say there was a censorship problem, but there really is now, although it seems mostly restricted to YouTube. Elon Musk's Twitter has some stupid censorship too, though. It takes away accountability when things can't even be criticised anymore, and misinformation/disinformation is allowed but can't be corrected, for example.
