Well said, Rich! YouTube has gone a bit overboard with this IMHO. For example, I have a video called "Stop blaming all Muslims for the actions of a few." I expressed some very middle-of-the-road opinions here, like judge people as individuals. I even got some negative feedback on it for being soft on Muslims.

So what does YouTube do? They demonetize it as part of this very "crackdown" that you describe. It makes me wonder if all discussions of controversial topics, even those expressing moderate opinions, are going to be discouraged on YouTube now.

Here's the video, in case anyone is interested: https://youtu.be/Qumz6mFnDXE

In general, tho, I would hate to see Steemit become the platform for free speech. That's too general. Communities need a tighter focus to become successful IMHO. The lack of any kind of community management/leadership IMHO has hamstrung Steemit's potential.
