I agree with Rand Paul.
For context, typically, I don’t go to YouTube for my public debate. I go to it for mindless entertainment and music, so my point of view might be alien to you.
I give money to politicians like Rand Paul, that I agree with, specifically so they can publish their views without being beholden to giant corporate sponsors. I feel he ought to publish this on his own website with the campaign funds that I gave him.
If he is somehow doing this in his capacity as a Senator, then he ought to use government funds to do the same.
I don’t think government officials should be allowed to strongarm or browbeat private citizens (i.e. YouTube) into giving them free publishing and promotion.
