YouTube puts a "fact check" under videos on "controversial" subjects whether the video agrees with the fact check or not.

It's like an article with a lie in the headline that buries the truth in the last paragraph. It's a way to lie without completely disregarding the truth, and it's effective because people will see that notice before they see the conclusion of the video.

Why any creator with any kind of following continues to publish to Youtube when they can take their audience anywhere else baffles me.

Because their audience won't follow them. Ninja's didn't follow him to Mixer.

It's stupid, but yes for anyone who was actually confused this is the reason. It's "algorithmically" determined, which means it's about as fair or unfair as any other algorithms they use, and it's part of a trial run/experiment to basically condition users to think getting FactChecked about everything is normal.
