Best apology video to the "left", ever....

I'm not sure how not permitting YouTube to curate content based on political belief could stifle competition in any way.
... Here's an easy fix: the Communications Decency Act immunizes websites from responsibility for their content on the grounds that they are not the publisher, simply the host, and they cannot police everything posted there. A simple amendment to the law that says that once you start to screen content on anything other than the basis of legality, you are now considered the publisher would probably be sufficient to stop websites from discriminatory behavior.
Lastly, I don't think the free market is going to solve this problem. You can't even write the word b i t c h u t e.com here because the first 5 letters turn to "bubblegum". I used to use a site called vid.me -- they shut down some time ago. If you do a search, you'll find other video hosting sites but they're all probably going to disappear along with any content at any random point in the future. The problem with YT and the other big players is that at a certain scale, the free market just stops working not least of all because at that scale, the company can buy whatever legislation it wants and the functional difference between government and private entity gets very very blurry.
Regulating the internet as an utility, instead of a media network, might push things into paywalls and fee subscription sites, and basically force people to invest into receiving whatever they want.... but on the other hand, looking at what happened with the Telecomm Act of 1994, where many formerly independent media groups got consolidated into a few big money media groups.. the corporations buying up media sites are largely the result of that Act. Take Google's near monopoly of many things for example... and Verizon/Yahoo's ownership of Tumblr... not sure who owns Imgur and Reddit, but these two started to split off their communities because Imgur wants more money into their own communities... Facebook and the like... now publicly traded.. whats the bet that in the near future, people will start going back to forums, message boards, email newsletters instead of social media sites like Facebook, instagram and the like?
I can see them prepairing for. 2020 in advance by shutting down anyone that tells the truth.I would like a list of demonetized channels so I could exclusively watch those. The fact is, YT has to pay for the bandwidth those channels use, the electricity required to make it all work, the hardware to serve it all up, the roof to keep the hardware dry, and the people to maintain the system. When YT does not display an ad on a stream, that stream is a financial drain on YT and nothing else. Petty? Yep. ;-)

That is not what was being asked for. People are asking for Government to regulate them like a utility. So what you are asking for is for some Government agency to step in and make the rules for them. Just look how well that always works out.
Everyone should care. In todays world, not having a positive presence on social media is a sure death sentence as far as public opinion and support is concerned. Once progun people are silenced on the internet (in places everyone gathers, not just gun people) we will be a huge step closer to losing the rights we try to protect.yt, pppfffftttt, who cares what they do.
Not me.
As mentioned earlier, other venues provide all the same gun videos as yt (once did) that I care to watch.
100% agreed. It's an all out culture war and if you aren't helping by paying for good content then the content will go away and the culture war will be lost.

Most of these I'm sure. Plenty to choose from: Favorite youtube gun personality?Could anyone here on this site provide a list of sites where we could watch things that you tube would not want us to see?
I would like to subscribe to some of them.

... I understand your point, but gun evangelism isn't something (at this point) I'm willing to expend energy on, with one caveat: If someone asks me to take them to the range and show them how to shoot. ...
