YouTube is left biased and you can easily verify it.

An alternative interpretation is that right-wing folks on YouTube are more likely to commit bannable offenses.

Would you apply this same reasoning to police arrest demographics? Why or why not?

Things would look different if human left activism and copyleft infringements existed though.

Be more specific. Are you saying there are left-wing YouTubers who should be suspended who aren't? If so that's a decent conversation to have, misapplication of policy to suit political ends. But looking at that list, I'm not seeing the injustice here.

I think left wing thinkers are not censored as much because they are not as successful on YouTube. My pet theory on why right leaning channels are more successful in terms of viewers on YouTube than left leaning is similar to what happened with talk radio. Currently, most conventional news media has a distinctly left leaning flavor to it. Left leaning thinkers (not liberal per se but what is currently the trendy left leaning thinking) has to compete with these conventional news organizations. There is a demand for alternative voices on the right which is why I think you see many more right wing thinkers on YouTube who are successful. My point is that if left wing thinkers were successful on YouTube to the extent of Crowder et al they would likely be censored as well as they would conflict with the narrative of traditional media. Not sure if this is correct but a glance at top YouTube channels include Tim Pool, Ben Shapiro, and Steven Crowder.
