Any abuse of a monopoly is harmful to the public.

Correct me if I'm misrepresenting your position, but I vaguely recall a discussion some time ago in which you compared adblocking to theft. If I'm remembering that correctly, you and I have no common ground upon which to have a civil discussion.

His primary website is still online. Me might not be allowed on YouTube anymore, but his primary platform still exists.

Additionally, I thought his removal from YouTube was as a result of pressure from the Government on hate speech and fake news etc. All the stuff Facebook is also attempting to crack down on.

His website being up is not relevant to the point. Govt didn't ask YouTube to remove it.
