Isn’t it best for @TeamYouTube to defend #FreeSpeech short of videos inciting aggression? Barring creators with extreme views doesn't silence them; it makes martyrs for audiences who will create echo chambers to retrench into, amplifying their distorted reality. #VoxAdpocolypse
Legally, private platforms can do whatever they want. But I would love it if a platform would draw the line at inciting/encouraging violence and harassment. On YT, no one is forcing anyone to watch any video, so I don’t see being a bigot/douche on your own ch. as harassment.

#tweetmobs and the like are harassment. But on YT, the simple ability to block or ignore comments etc. on your own channel gives you the power to defend yourself on your own ch.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Not true. This content regularly ends up in front if children as recommended content. YouTube can’t even prevent certain ads from appearing in front if violent content.

While I think any attempt to allow individual viewers to block content themselves is great, I recognize that it’s easier said than done. That’s why my kids don’t have smartphones, and why we keep a close eye on what they access online.
