The thing is, youtube is crappy place for "whistle blowing" because video is a terrible medium for people evaluating information critically - any references a video might have will slip by a person, the general demeanor of a presenter can matter more than their content or credentials, etc.

It's not unreasonable for youtube to refuse non-mainstream health theories even if those theories deserve an airing somewhere.

yes, but this is the world we live in currently. getting information from the "factual" videos will still be encouraged
