Couldn't have said it better. The issue with something like this isn't so much Molyneux being "silenced" as Youtube getting kudos for doing right by the people who want Molyneux silenced, while continuing to push content in a manner that is obviously harmful. The whole business model is the problem. Banning Molyneux makes, effectively, zero difference in that regard. With or without him, crazy town Youtube is alive and well and still being pushed by the algorithm.
