I doubt anyone at Youtube is explicitly seeking out conservative views to censor. But they have created a system whereby flagging videos you disagree with is rewarded, and an effective way to ensure others don't see them. That won't end well.
This isn't the first time this has happened. Abolitionists, anarchists, communists, pornographers, homosexuals, and others have had to do what conservatives now have to do in the face of a majority culture that chooses to hate and censor them. They'll be fine, maybe even stronger for the experience.
And it has a cool Hacker News perspective. It's certainly good for the startups that will be serving the new market.
I literally watch Dota 2 channels, AvE, EEV, other technical channels and most of them had issues recently.
Those channels don't even dabble in controversial content...
Take channels like that away and all you've got left is drama, reactions and contentless shitposting
