exactly, they are proud to tell you they block videos that are "problematic" from being recommended. But problematic to whom or what is not described. As this would surely reveal their bias in their algorithms. And also who our overlords are.

There's a pretty solid consensus that white supremacists, vaccine-deniers, and election deniers are "problematic" and YT isn't going out on a limb to make that call.
I don't think white supremacists, vaccine-deniers and election deniers would agree with you. Also you are just picking the easy examples.

And what is a "solid consensus"? Trump was elected in 2016, for example, presumably by a significant number of voters.

Why does YT have to make any call at all? Why not let me see what I want to see?
