To clarify, I don't consider YT's algorithmic choices to be "censorship" one way or another. Censorship is blocking, banning and/or demonetizing videos and preventing consumers from proactively deciding what they want to watch. I fully agree that allowing users to curate what Youtube suggests to them would be a massive improvement over the current system. If you are interested in learning more about actual Youtube censorship, Matt Taibi has been covering the issue for almost 2 years.
