YouTube can kill a video for looking at it funny. It's a private platform and they're not beholden to hosting your content if they don't want to.
This is the problem and you're not going to solve it with crypto. People don't want to deal with ownership of their content, they want to live in a fantasy land where "throw it over the fence" information distribution exists. Someone has to host it for other people to access it, and if your contents are sufficiently insane then people won't want anything to do with you. Case in point: IPFS, lbry, rumble, etc.
