To a regular random person, Youtube is synonymous with video content.

Youtube is the news.

Perhaps one solution for Youtube would be to demonetize and label such content as "unsafe" or don't sue me bro mode".

Anyone who's a minor doesnt get to see this "unsafe" content. Anyone who watches the content with "unsafe" mode on, sees the content.

Give customers the choice to choose and make up their own minds.

Removing content with the authority of being the primary video content platform? They don't get away so easy.

With power comes responsibility.

They have to handle this another way and this, is not it.
