The original headline is misleading, and the Hacker News headline uses different words but is misleading in exactly the same way.

It seems it should be: YouTube removes single Scott Adams video. Yawn.

"The headline is misleading."

This is a far-too common trend, both from the left and the right. When headlines look like leading statements I tend to conclude I'm not going to find facts but arguments and innuendo... so I why bother? Sadly, it's all too common to see these days. Blame it on click-bait for ad sales or partisanship but it's making it hard to find "just the facts."

In this case generally both sides gets mad (albeit for different reasons) when YT excerpts control over their website to remove/deplatform someone, so saying YT kicks someone out/shuts them down is going to get the most clicks from everyone.

Thank god for ublock origin.

I wrote headlines as my first task on a campus newspaper before most readers here were born. Headline writers are the dishwashers of journalism.

I found the removed video on Periscope for anyone interested: https://www.pscp.tv/w/cqgohTFwempNT2V5dlhYUWR8MWRqR1hxellWZ2...

Haven't watched it myself.

Over his rather milquetoast opinions?

YouTube's collapse is rather spectacular to watch.

Just like Voat killed Reddit and Gab killed Twitter right?

Not holding my breath.
