I lived in a totalitarian state before.

So now you are in favor of censoring things? I don't think the likes of YouTube are very typical for totalitarian states.

The propaganda by totalitarian states is an entirely different beasts, it reaches into all walks of life.

It's you who brought up totalitarian states, I cede to you defeating your own point.

I said "we would all live in totalitarian states", and I also doubt your totalitarian state was created by YouTube propaganda.

I'm more worried about the censorship leading to totalitarian states than extremist YouTube channels.

Most totalitarian states predate YT and other forms of social media, so this is irrelevant. Now that they are here, they use it to fullest extent.

It's not irrelevant, as the discussion is about alleged effects of free speech on YouTube in the present time.
