There's a different organisation that's bringing great wealth and prosperity to a region in Mexico and also kills random people a lot. Should it be banned because it kills random people or encouraged because it brings wealth and prosperity? Any functioning government would ban it, obviously, despite the wealth and prosperity. If you do a good thing and a bad thing you're still doing the bad thing and get punished for the bad thing.

You are comparing a container which hosts both Intellectual and poor material with mobsters. And implying that a library should be closed because it contains bad literature.

Moderation!...

If it's illegal to do X, and you do X and Y, and refuse to stop doing X, then it's inevitable that your Y gets shut down when they shut you down for doing X. To solve this, don't do X.

And when would YT have done something illegal to the point of locking it.

And where is the basicmost consideration for the crucial fact that YT is doing a paramount, invaluable, priceless service to the democratization of knowledge and culture and education worldwide. Because again, if administrations do not notice that, they cannot be considered anything of worth.

Well right now. They're doing the things that it's rightfully illegal to do without age verification so they're being forced to do age verification.

And the whole context remains:

-- age verification is there to block access to minors, while obviously, as already stated many times here, minors are ___mandated___ to get cultivated, and that involves looking for those "Jung, Boniface, Fukuyama, Borges, Mead, Stravinsky, Picasso, Dirac, Sanderson (etc.)" on YouTube. If they don't get cultivated they must be either confined where they won't do damage or directly thrown in a ditch - they cannot be an active part of anything.

-- age verification blocks access to all developed people, to all Men, if there is a mechanism involved that does not perfectly defend privacy or other requirements (from dubious equipment to contracts with dubious entities). If anyone peered into the private matters of a Man, especially cultural matters, the response of all Men is the highest full violence. Nobody worth it will ever have access to the museum again, if entrance involves identification or perversion (e.g. smartphones).

-- current administrations seem largely oblivious of the above, which makes them satanic (both perverse and detrimental), strictly structurally inadequate (proposing one-step mental processes instead of full-framed plans), and substantially massively ignorant.

Whatever your age and causes, poster, get out of the level you declare with your impressively chosen nickname and as of today, now, cultivate yourself intensively because if you can type or similar you are not a cow, and if you are humanoid you have duties which you are not fulfilling. That implies for you also to spend all the time you otherwise waste on effing YouTube, while it is available: the pointers are there above, proceed from those given (since you stated and showed you have no idea how to search for quality material - start from those written and build on them), start immediately. You cannot be a liability if you partake in societies.
