Plenty of youtube viewers are literal 12 year old children who don't even bother to read the description. "nobody will do anything stupid" doesn't really seem plausible to me when we have adults killing themselves with fish tank cleaner because they confuse it for anti-viral meds

I don't expect 12 year children to know about acid so it would be surprising if children discovers such video. And parent has to decide which video their children should watch otherwise children can easily go to google.com and do anything.
I really don't think youtube should act like judge in such cases. Outright deleting video in minor thing like this sets very bad precedence.
like citric acid? you cant cure stupid by censoring thing they dont understand
So, YouTube now bans a scientifically accurate video?
Please tell me you're just intentionally being obtuse and don't actually struggle with that point because this is a response I expect on reddit and not HN
Because I don't. They are obviously different spelling.
If people are confused by these two words, I have bad news for them. They might literally have brain problems.
> They're not a scientific journal, they're a video platform serving a general audience
So what? Are they not allowed to state anything that is scientifically accurate?
What next? We should ban non-scientific channel who says masks help?
> Youtube bans video titles which if misinterpreted might make people do harmful things
Anything that is misinterpreted will lead to harmful things. That's the consequence of misinterpretation.
Hacker News could be misinterpreted as a community of hackers trying to hack into people's computers. Therefore, we should close down the community?
I just went looking for the LD50 and some sources say >90 and others >150 ml/kg, at least in rats. Odd that they don't give an upper bound, but it's probably safe to assume that's within an order of magnitude. For rats.
Antidotes, I assume, include Brawndo.
What actually happened is that a woman murdered her husband with fish tank cleaner, and blamed Trump for it. And the media ran with it because that was a much more sensational story.

No, 30 people did not die in one night because Trump told them to drink bleach. Nobody did.
Nor was Kyle Rittenhouse a "mass shooter" that ambushed innocent civil rights demonstrators.
Big tech is wrong all the time.
He did shoot some people with a high powered rifle in public though, which in most parts of the world is something that you wouldn't get acquitted for.

I am convinced YT is deliberately doing this to push out small content creators and replace them with corporate content creators that are fleeing the sinking ship that is cable TV.

Pretty telling how much FUD Web3 receives.
Like every other post here with "YouTube" in the title, it's just clickbait and drama.
