There are many extraordinarily biased US media companies out there. In theory, YouTube can become one more. And that is fine.

But these companies are a lot less respectable than YouTube has been to date, and people know what they are getting.

The issue here is YouTube's standards are changing and that deserves to be discussed. And condemned, it is change for the worse (even if in some sense it is probably inevitable).

And that would be perfectly fine, but only if Youtube's CEO stops giving speeches about free speech being a core value

Oh so we need to suppress the free speech of someone else to protect you?

It's absolutely in their rights.

It's also within people's rights to criticize them for it.

I don't think that is correct.

They have a fiduciary duty to their shareholders.
