It is but a lot of times people find something out from places not the American news has, for instance people from other countries knowing things the American news don't really say.
It has anything and everything it seems like, really good at finding others who are like me, very diverse and different kinda people on there. Yes bad people obviously, but that's the Internet in general.
People talk about things on there. Give there personal opinions and thoughts on stuff.
I don't really know that much about what YouTube blocks. All I know is I get a shit ton .ore lgbt and neurodivergent people on TikTok randomly then I ever do on YouTube. I get my diversity and different people. YouTube just seems like it's all click bait shit I can't handle. "Top ten ***" kinda stuff. And when I tried YouTube shorts I couldn't find anything relatable or wanting. And they all seemed very just generic.
