Should you then in turn also not consume content on YouTube at all? If so, great, you're basically not affected by this discussion at all.

As for the topic itself: YouTube definitely has its share of problems, e. g. ElsaGate, unskippable ads in front of emergency medical advice, automated copyright strikes that are incredibly easy to abuse etc., but all those things are completely off topic.
