I'm spending less and less time on this video site.

Lots of great alternatives, that are open and promote community building, instead of censorship.

YouTube seems to be censoring a lot of actual educational/informative channels discussing real world topics, while allowing scams, disinformation, clickbait BS and random drama to run rampant. Any sort of leftist videos also seem to get taken down real fast. Debunking videos too.

And of course there's also the thing where large copyright holders and copyright trolls alike can censor whatever video they like, even if it falls under fair use and in some cases, even if they're not the actual copyright holder.
