This is gross and unethical but we should let them continue digging their own grave.

What about them restricting the visibility of a video in response to a violation of their policies is 'unethical' and 'gross'?

They also don't allow sharing porn, or for people to use the service as a CDN, is that 'unethical'?

I don't think they are digging their own grave unfortunately. The majority of people seem to be Ok with this, and the majority will continue to use these platforms. I still use these platforms even though I hate what they are doing. We really do need some alternatives...

There are alternatives, but they don't have a free tier.

Regarding the sharing of controversial video content, isn't Bitchute pretty much a free alternative?

How much further do we let them dig? What line do we point to that they don't erode like the rest?
