YouTube claims it tries to make the website a safer place for all ages while promoting popular content creators they earn money from and only using these policies on other creators.

And since the ones they promote are way less than the ones they don't it seems as if it works.

Remember the suicide forest thing? It was on trending for a reason and they didn't bother putting it down the first few days

I deeply wish that in some reality-defying way, we could get anyone in the higher-ups at Youtube to actually answer for all the bullshit they pull with their guidelines and algorithms on live television.

I want a fuckload of people to gather the data, cite and source it, and give it all to one interviewer. Then I want that interviewer to boil that Youtube representative alive because there's nothing that representative can say besides "We selectively enforce our guidelines because it makes us more profits, and that's basically the only reason".

I'm guessing that the companies behind those videos are able to have a deal with YouTube on them. Plus since they are considered "mainstream" media they are advertisable, unlike other YouTubers.
