Here is a perfect example of semi-censorship by YouTube against Patrick Little. If you click on the below video I think you will see what I saw when I clicked it on. I have pasted it here above the video:
The following content has been identified by the YouTube community as inappropriate or offensive to some audiences.Certain features have been disabled for this video In response to user reports, we have disabled some features, such as comments, sharing, and suggested videos, because this video contains content that may be inappropriate or offensive to some audiences. [Then if you click on the LEARN MORE you will see the text below come up on the screen.]Limited features for certain videos
Our
Community Guidelines prohibit
hate speech that either promotes violence or has the primary purpose of inciting hatred against individuals or groups based on certain attributes. YouTube also prohibits content
intended to recruit for terrorist organizations, incite violence, celebrate terrorist attacks, or otherwise promote acts of terrorism. Some borderline videos, such as those containing inflammatory religious or supremacist content without a direct call to violence or a primary purpose of inciting hatred, may not cross these lines for removal. Following user reports, if our review teams determine that a video is borderline under our policies, it may have some features disabled.
These videos will remain available on YouTube, but will be placed behind a warning message, and some features will be disabled, including comments, suggested videos, and likes. These videos are also not eligible for ads.
If one of your videos has features disabled, we will send an email to notify you. You can appeal the decision directly from a link in the email or by selecting the “Appeal” link next to the video in
Video Manager.
Having features disabled on a video will not create a strike on your account.
