Young Turks has almost 4x as many video views as Lauren Chen. That's probably the reason the algorithm is showing it so high- because it's more popular.

That’s not what he’s saying, he’s representing the problem as “YouTube is censoring us,” when that is not in fact the reality. No one disagrees that yt prefers non political content- that much is blatant if you read their monetization guidelines.

But it’s with the political content that their ability to selectively influence is more concerning. It is inarguable that the leadership of YT supports the left. It is also inarguable that demonitization and demotion complaints are, AFAIK, exclusive to center/right. Coincidence?
