Good luck. Hopefully it gains traction but why not leave and let them fall apart

Google and Youtube do not charge you. (unless you get the premium service, etc).

They give their services for free, as far as the consumer is concerned. It is really for advertising dollars, which means their advertising clients with the most money have the most control.

So, they are in business to make money, and if you want their services, you must play by their rules.

If they make money with cute cat videos that bring in the same amount of money as controversial political videos, they are happy to remove the controversial videos.

Sure but is that all the audience wants to watch? NO.

They can go that route if they choose, but they will lose viewers and create a vacuum that another site will fill.

Youtube will soon be known as the place your grandma goes to watch cat videos and that's about it.

"Sure but is that all the audience wants to watch? NO."

Actually, it pretty much is.

The majority of people today care more about cat videos, celebrity gossip, rap stars, etc, than they do about so-called "conspiracy theories".

"create a vacuum that another site will fill"

It's not that easy. And even if such a site were created, ultimately, that site will be subject to the same people who control Google and Youtube.
