On: YouTube’s anti-extremism crackdown targets journalist who documents extremism

This is what happens when someone with an opinion censors content. The (old) reddit model was far better where small communities are policed by a moderation team and if you don’t like the mods you go somewhere else.

There’s simply too much content on YouTube to police effectively and fairly. It’s time to move to community based decentralized alternatives.

Could YouTube provide more structure and moderate by subcatgories?

Say I say I'm an expert in chemistry and education - then I would be available to moderate chem Ed videos.

I'm not convinced this isn't an attempt by YT to claim they tried and it had unintended consequences they can't avoid.

That solves nothing.

If youtube doesn't moderate, then the extremist content they want to ban won't be banned.
