Apparently the (usually ultra-lefty) LGBTXYZ crowd is also upset at their videos being restricted under the new algorithm. So it's not just anti-conservative bias, it's a general nanny state thing.Youtube has labeled just about anything that might be considered conservative, right wing, libertarian as being restricted through their new algorithm. They seem to be going full on censorship of anything they don't agree with. It all started with demonetizing a bunch of videos
That is incorrect. Youtube "restricted mode" is off by default....now their restricted mode which is on by default. In order to turn it off you need to be signed in so anyone who watches youtube without signing in wouldn't normally see them.

Do you have Windows 10 "Family filter" turned on? Or are you on a corporate-imaged laptop or signed in via a corporate "Apps" account? If so, the default is configurable by your boss. When using a corporate or school account or a browser configured by your company or school, the administrator can use Google Admin Console to turn on “restrict content for logged-in users in your organization”.
Or if you are on public WiFi or a censoring DNS service, they can force restricted mode by playing games with DNS responses.
Absent any of the above, Youtube "restricted mode" is off by default
Send some mail to YouTube and push back. I HIGHLY doubt they spent one iota of time thinking about the issue - the firehose of uploaded content means that there are all kinds of videos demanding their attention/scrutiny from all over the world, they don't have time to process the logic of various complaints they receive. They just act on the side of caution and proceed until they receive pushback, and then somebody 'thinks' about what they're doing.
I don't think Vimeo has restrictions.
You Tube has sucked since Google bought it.
It's more like they act out of cowardice and taking the path of least resistance on too many things. I can't even upload a NON MONETIZED video that has a song playing in the background, Youtube can't even acknowledge
things like fair use.
Vimeo is great basically they leave your shit ALONE unless someone makes a legit complaint about it.
The performance of their system has increased dramatically, but so hasn't the censorship type bullshit.
