YouTube Search Censorship

[Elliot]

I was trying to find what Tim Pool said about COVID on YouTube. So I searched:

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=tim+pool+covid

There are two relevant results at the top. Then the latest stuff from his channel then stuff that’s related to Pool but not covid.

So I tried another search for masks instead of covid:

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=tim+pool+masks

Again, two relevant results followed by stuff that has nothing to do with masks.

YouTube is doing this on purpose. They clearly came up with some pattern where they try to hide search result censorship by giving you two reasonable results at the top to make it look like your search worked. But then all the other results are intentionally wrong.

I’m guessing this is primarily a COVID thing, but I know YouTube and Google have treated Pool badly too. More searches could probably figure it out.

Recent Rossmann vid mentions YT censorship of his pro-masks-indoors video (linked at 2:20, YT search mentioned at 2:35-2:50): https://youtu.be/3VPk-ojOCp4?t=138

YT transcript:

[…] and i did a long video on this some it’s interesting some people have said that i was anti-mask in the beginning of the pandemic and i was wondering how could they think that when i did a video on it that made my opinion very clear and you can see in the links in the description down below apparently you actually can’t find that video when you search for it so it’s literally buried if i google pretty much my title and my channel name it just doesn’t show up at all […]

Note: it does come up for me if I search for it, but not 1st
