It is perfectly rationale to say that YouTube has the freedom to make editorial choices while also pointing out that they are making bad choices.

You aren't countering any criticism by stating that YouTube has the freedom to make those choices -- you're just changing the topic and ignoring the nature of the criticism.

Because the criticism is bollocks. "I want to hear particular views on a particular website" isn't an argument.

Yeah, except that isn't actually the argument.
