Are you literally blaming YouTube for flat earthers in Denmark?

The issue is that all regulators are human, and all humans have biases. No man is fit to play the censor.

Given the modern flat earthed movement was essentially grown on YouTube why wouldn't it effect people around the globe?

Is YouTube banned in Denmark?

Many of the flat earthers I have interacted with are actually doing it tongue and cheek as performance. It is a meme/troll many levels deep if you look into it.
