I bet it will extend to fully cover one side of the aisle, but not cross over to the other.

It would help if one side of the aisle didn't continue to stand behind a conspiracy theory that has failed in court _many_ dozens of times, now.
From what I understand, the majority of the lawsuits were dismissed for lack of standing not evidentiary reasons.
I doubt that it would help; I don’t think failing in court will be YouTube’s standard. As so many comments remind us, they’re a private company. They don’t have to wait for a court’s opinion.

I also think no left-of-center conspiracy theory would be thrown off YouTube, even if it failed in court.

Maybe this is great, I don’t make any value judgment. It’s just a bet. Take my money if I’m wrong.

In 2016 they demonitized The Young Turks at one point, a long with a slew of education and left-wing vlogs.

Was that a conspiracy theory, and had it failed in court?
