truthfully I am surprised it took google and youtube so long to start censoring so much. For many years a lot of painful conspiracy facts were spread. I guess first they wanted to hook people in. Now though as it sucks views and clicks will decline.

Censorship costs money, and they didn't have pressure to. That's why the other, worse videos are still up.

And have you noticed that sites like BitChute, not previously the pride of the Internet, are now getting some quality content? More and more people will be leaving YouTube so someone will be busy censoring everything.

Bitchute is a honeypot. Wireshark tells it allZ

yeah it often happens. facebook benefitted when myspace started to suck. reddit benefited when digg started to suck. then the new places censor more and people move to something else. However I think this can't go on forever as the internet is centralized. I member a time when reddit was heavily criticized for shit ellen chao did so that was a good time for voat to take over but at that same time it got DDOS'd so people tried to go there and saw the website didn't work, never went back and it's dead ot this day.
