It's not a public service, it's a business; they delete covid misinfo because they get yelled at if they don't, not out of some misguided notion that they're wikipedia.

They have covid misinfo up while also removing accurate covid info. The problem is what is info vs misinfo has changed multiple times in the last year.

Of course youtube does a poor job of distinguishing misinformation from controversial-but-accurate scientific information. Why wouldn't they? Isn't that the expected result?

All the angst in this thread mystifies me. You might as well go to a strip bar and then act shocked and outraged that your steak is overcooked. Of course it is; you're in the wrong place. The solution is to not to demand that youtube do a better job of curating science information for you, it's to not get your science information from youtube.
