I didn't watch the whole thing but . . . it sounds like THEY turned off their channel, preemptively, no?
Nope.
A few special snowflakes flagged their channel for 'hate speech' or some such bullshit. So along came the Google/YouTube appointed Thought Police™ to check the complaint. YouTube openly stated that they're now using such unbiased luminaries as the Twitter News Group and the SPLC, among others, to decide which videos & channels are demonitized, shadow-banned, or outright fucking deleted. With no further review allowed.
The aforementioned YT activists issued a strike against their channel and took it down. Just like they did that Swiss girls' a month or so ago.
The digital Stasi were invited into the hen house. Since then, there have been huge numbers of videos demonitized for Wrong Think. Numerous channels being taken off the public & recommended lists. Even a few being outright deleted, along with all their past videos being purged.
1984 showed up a little late, but it is arriving nonetheless. Most notably in digital form, where the most information is. Like a canary in a coal mine it is. Bad precedents are increasingly being set regarding information on the internet.
