What's the problem with videos like you mentioned? Do you think all videos in which people are wrong about things should be taken down? If somebody writes on their blog that they don't think the holocaust is real, should their blog get taken down, or is there something different about it being a video? In my opinion, YouTube has gone much too far towards the side of taking down videos rather than leaving them up. We…

I think that videos that say kids didn't die in school shootings should not be allowed to make money off of said videos especially when they try to get people riled up to harass the survivors and their parents. Furthermore I expect Google to apply their policies evenly which they don't. If violations of Google ToS are reported they should be taken care of don't you think.

If you're in the United States, 90% of the population can receive the 24/7 PBS Kids channel over the air for free.

GMO/Monsanto, Big Petrol & all their wars, Putin controls XYZ, "The Oligarchy", "The Patriarchy", "The Privileged", Plastic straws from Europe killing turtles in the Galapagos, "Systemic Racism", The Gender Gap, etc.

I'm gonna need you to explain how 'The Patriarchy' ,'The Privileged', 'Systemic Racism' etc are somehow conspiracy theories considering they're more like social critiques around very real issues people face.
