Youtube, esp. the human part (like the reviewers of channel content) is not some monolithic entity.
It is a group of human beings, doing shitty job, for low pay, and having their ups and downs, biases and favourites.
They will let hateful violent inciting videos pass, when it suits the reviewers worldview.
And conversely, they will block videos that certain reviewers that happen to view your video don't personally like.
Once all this is given to an ML algo that does all the censoring automatically, or when we talk about the specific leaked top-down censoring orders or leaked censored word lists, is the censoring authoritarian and systematic.
Till then, it's just humans doing what humans do best: flailing and failing in the darkness of their own ignorance.
The video points out that it is especially easy for large, organized, groups of people to manipulate this flawed system, for the purposes of censorship of controversial topics.
Indeed it is easy and video is correct.
