There _isn't_ nuance here. That's the entire point. It's an extreme slippery slope and this is already several steps down that slope. The earlier things were censorship of moon landing hoax videos and other such conspiracy theories. People didn't have an issue with censoring those as a tiny minority thought those. Now they're censoring things a significant double digit minority things (probably). Wait until they start censoring things that the political party alignment of the owners of Youtube disagree with, as that's the next step.

At this point Youtube is no longer a "common carrier" of anything at all.

Also don't forget how terrible Youtube's algorithm is and how it bans people at random and deletes video streams at random.
