You are okay with censorship as well. In fact, everyone is. Whenever you kick someone off a platform for something they say, then you're technically committing censorship. The Blockland Forums censors users who break certain rules (namely, flaming) by banning them.

doesn't necessarily matter, youtube's always dished out automatic punishment if a video got enough flags without review because it's easier to let people appeal if something is obviously wrong than to sift through every report that comes in. people seem to be under the impression that youtube is hand-picking conservative videos and disabling them but from what i can tell this is just a less-severe version of the same thing they've always done

edit: scratch some of that, a video has to be specifically determined as not bad enough to be removed to be put in this kind of state (x)

still, this only happens if people report it and the review teams agree that its kinda almost hate speech but not really enough to actually be removed, not because youtube is seeking out videos with right-leaning viewpoints and censoring them

yes

Also, the whole "they're a private company" response is such a loving cop out when Youtube basically has a monopoly on the video hosting website industry. After a certain point they're almost more of a public utility than a private service
