It'd be interesting to have a poll of the people defending YouTube back when they started taking a political stance and see if they think that a line has been crossed somewhere between there and here, or if this is still the sort of behaviour they expect from YouTube.

It seems that YouTube has taken a firm stance against being a knowledge repository a la Wikipedia or Google Search.

Although I do want to protest politics by Tweet. There is nothing here to really discuss; we don't know why, or even if, YouTube is suppressing commentary of the Rittenhouse trial or what Rekieta thinks about it. Tweets are too shallow.

Google Search? A knowledge repository? Literally day-by-day it becomes near impossible to find the knowledge you want by a fresh concoction of being flooded by paid-for links, incorrect web scraping/SEO spam, or downright scrubbed from the web.
