Where else can it be discussed? No major media would allow it on their networks for fear of the cancel mobs coming with torches and pitchforks.
Banning academics from talking on a platform is a high-risk strategy. It was always possible YouTube would do more harm than good implementing their stupid policy.
Note that their ban might be taking out anyone who wants to talk about Ivermectin neutrally or negatively because of the risk of being censored. It is possible (probable, even) that YouTube is now presenting a biased sample of videos sampled only from people who believe strongly enough in the drug to try and circumvent the ban.
My guess is that if Ivermectin turns out to be useless despite the evidence, a lot of the buzz I've heard will have been generated by YouTube squelching debate meaning that only the pro- side even attempts to get the message out on social media. Because I've only heard of wall-to-wall positive coverage on YouTube and I don't trust the consistency.
