    I still wouldn’t trust Google not to nuke my channel on a whim even in spite of those relaxed moderation rules. What’s stopping a little bribe from the right company or political party from causing them to backpedal or even tighten their grip further?

    This is why one should at least mirror their content to PeerTube or a similar alternative platform like that even if they’re not going to just outright post future content to said alternative and give up on YT altogether.

      they dont need to nuke your channel, they just bury your videos with thier algorithim, this is what pushed many smaller content creators off youtube in the pass. a channel i used to follow, i would have to painstakingly search it through other videos that arnt even related to it.

      I agree. We’ve seen enough times in the past where a creator would get a strike from a video several years old because the rules changes. Anyone legit should be careful.
