The first paragraph of the story explicitly mentions that this is about "small" youtubers. You could argue that the headline is clickbait, but if you actually read the article they don't try to hide the fact that these are not major youtubers.

The article is more than just the headline. They did a lot of reporting, and it's an interesting article. Apparently Google changed their search tool to hide the fact that some terms are blocked. (I actually think that would be a better hook for the article, rather than report on small youtubers leaving the platform).

Characterizing it as "fake news" because the headline is more general than it should be is really doing a disservice to public discourse. That would make almost all news "fake news", and I think we should reserve the term for articles that actually spreads lies, and not apply it to articles where the text doesn't quite live up to the headline. The term for that is clickbait.
