Another positive of YouTube is the popularity and accessibility of conservative political videos (see [[Alternative Influence Network]]), though authentic conservative channels are dwindling in number, due to this aforementioned censorship. Curiously enough, establishment conservative channels, such as [[Ben Shapiro]] and [[PragerU]], remain largely immune. YouTube CEO Susan Wojicki has even said that she knows she will never have to censor Shapiro, saying at the Lesbian Who Tech Summit:

In 2021, YouTube elected to hide the number of dislikes beside the dislike button. The liberal videos posted on YouTube faced high numbers of dislikes (including on high-profile channels like the [[White House]] channel, currently under the control of the [[Biden regime]]), but YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki claimed that YouTube was hiding dislike counts to "reduce bullying", that the dislike button was an "inaccurate" way of gauging the quality of videos posted to the site, and that the dislike feature was being "weaponized" against some video creators; the disabling of views on dislike numbers was widely criticized, including by YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim, who said that the controversial move could hurt the platform's quality control.<ref>[https://nypost.com/2022/01/26/youtube-ceo-susan-wojcicki-defends-removing-dislike-button/ YouTube CEO says removing ‘dislike’ button prevents harmful ‘attacks’]</ref>
