That wouldn't surprise me, they were already terrified of talk in right wing circles of instead of physical protesting, just withdrawing your money in protest as if all MAGA guys did that it'd probably be enough to collapse a few banks right now.
It would, but I think it's really just an excuse for more censorship. Lotus Eaters did air a few segments on the bank collapses, but other creators I watch, including a lot of pop culture guys whose content has nothing to do with that, have all said that their engagement and subscriber growth has suddenly stalled to almost nothing after a decent period of growth.
Something that might be linked to that is YouTube's push for content creators to make 'shorts' to rival TikTok
I've heard a lot of creators talk about how YouTube are pushing them to make them and how it gets them more views and subscribers doing so.
Though shorts seem to be having the opposite effect than Tiktok, instead of becoming a left wing nut job, this short made me more right wing!
