A few months or a year ago Youtube was accused of 'sponsoring' alt-right vloggers who played a role in domestic US politics. These people uploaded videos to Youtube and got paid based on the views. Just like everyone really. But mainstream media kept blaming Youtube for enabling these videos. Even though they practically enable everyone as a neutral platform.
So advertisers started to pull out of Youtube in general over this and Youtube went all out and reformed the entire global website to a 'better safe than sorry' policy. Removing anything even resembling 'undesirable content'.
This caused a lot of what Americans would call 'collateral damage'.
This wasn't just right wing vlogers, the spread of ISIS is at least partially attributed to their videos posted to youtube. A few years ago when there was a research project on censoring them everyone said this would happen, it's a shame that it involved people getting shot.
