Pewpiepie makes tons of money from Youtube. He's not banned. And most of his videos are monetized. The fact that he's the most successful Youtuber and that he has differing views that Youtube shows that Youtube allows people with differing views to succeed.

I never said he was banned.

What daring and original content that's going to be. How "liberal" of YouTube and its massively "liberal" employee base. Such diversity of ideas and language being allowed. Such tolerance.

Diversity of ideas are allowed. The videos are not removed. If advertisers don't want to advertise on this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDJMZWzW8Ko that's not Youtube's fault.

If not paying creators advertising money is censorship, then most other platforms have 100% censorship. Reddit, Vimeo, Facebook, Hacker News, Instagram, Streamable, Imgur all don't pay ad money to creators.
