When flat Earthers start protesting quarantines during a pandemic, try to intimidate elected officials with guns, try to destroy 5g towers, and threaten employees of a private company, yeah we can talk about taking them off youtube. I don't understand how you think these channels aren't echo chambers already. They are... Them being on youtube doesn't change that. It only allows them to easily reach millions of people who they otherwise wouldn't reach.
Sure it allows millions, but how many will take it seriously and how many will be sat on the fence about it. By removing them from youtube you put those sat on the fence down a path of thinking, ok what are they hiding here. You also push those who believe it anyhow away from any exposure of debate towards niche area's, area's in which those sat on the fence may visit and without balanced debate, get drawn into things even deeper.
Maybe the right action for this, maybe not. Hard to really measure it beyond cell tower death rates and I'm fairly sure we have past the peak upon that surge.
