From the article the first 10:

“This is obvious censorship. YouTube is planning to silence those who disagree with the political/ruling class and have taken sides. Speaking truth to power is now borderline criminal. The censorship continues…”
#6 is interesting. I used to look for hand reg’s using the keyword + nearme combination in the domain and even 2 years ago, most of them were taken.
