So they would turn down no advertiser and will capitulate to any advertiser's wishes if it made them more money? Of course not, so it's not capitalism plain and simple. To say it is ignores that humans can make decisions and changes the discussion point. It might be that the advertisers are the ones pushing a certain agenda. It might not. But don't kill the discussion about how things slant by saying it's only about money.

Just because a company would turn down a short-term gain doesn't mean they aren't profit focused. Any popular site that runs ads is overflowing with offers to run sketchy ads for big money but actually running them would only hurt their brand in the long run. This doesn't necessarily mean that site is editorializing.

Sure. And I'm saying that just because they are profit focused doesn't mean it's only about profits and there aren't human decisions involved which is what I took GP's comment as saying.

How is this "capitalism plain and simple." Youtube and reddit are only banning this content because of new regulation passed by the government.

If this was in direct conflict with the politics of the average YouTube employee they'd be dragging their feet about it.

Politics/agenda are certainly involved.
