Youtube is no longer the place for any sort of political video. I think this is a bit of a cleansing of the site to keep it as an entertainment site.
Other already existing sites like bitchote, etc. can take over just fine. Of course, they are not monetized - yet - as far as I know.

I’d say that’s a bit naive to believe they are being “business-altruistic”, trying to avoid political controversy when the place reeks of all manner of far-leftist nuttery.
