> All while YouTube keeps banning LGBTQ creators from recommendations (not even just demonetization) for using words like "lesbian" in video titles. Why does HN rarely get upset about those cases?
Like I also said, Neither YouTube or HN cares and expecting YouTube to change is futile and it will happen to anyone. That is the point.
But then again, some believe it is not enough to de-platform or do a mass ban of these LGBTQ creators off of the internet. Why not get the payment companies and the banks to freeze their funds as well, or why not contact their energy and phone provider so that they can't access the internet or have electricity as well?
I await a giant outcry when this happens to another person and the whole of HN starts crying about the big tech surveillance dystopia they helped to create.

You're conflating minorities simply existing in public with incredibly toxic assholes choosing to be incredibly toxic assholes in these platforms. That's not even remotely the same thing.
