@captainheat2314 That wasn't really the reason. The government thought killing the birds would increase crop yields but instead it led to hordes of insects (as there were no longer any birds to keep their numbers in check) that would go on to eat the crops. Creating or worsening any famines.

@geofractal I think youtube may be playing around with a.i. programs that try to pick up problematic (or what it deems to be problematic) posts and censoring them. Only that it doesn't work very well and struggles to identify bad advice from good advice. I don't think it's being applied universally either but randomly as it's still a work in progress and a lot of stuff gets ignored. I also think they try to be discreet so most people don't notice it.
