Youtube Targetting Cryptocurrency Channels?
Bud:
That happened right after Larry/Sergey left their CEO roles at Alphabet, didn't it.

All in all, youtube is going down the shitter.

Current day journalism and news are sadly lacking in scientific reporting. Unfortunately, science is simply difficult to make entertaining for the masses, as such there's little profit to be had. On the other hand, pseudoscientific bullshit, regurgitation of marketing statements from scammy 'companies', crap like horoscopes and similar is at an all time high.
When serious research is done and published, unless it's an absolutely revolutionary groundbreaking thing, it doesn't get much, if any, screen time. When some nutjob claims to have invented the perpetual motion machine, there's a TV crew with a scientifically illiterate moron at the helm.

What an interesting conicidence... I'm sure taking charge of tricky situations is somewhere in the small print of Sundar Pichai's golden directorship deal. Either way, he should have YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki on speed dial - or Alexa does.

The AI is just going on wild streaks regularly, and YT relies so much on it they probably don't have the staffing to check what it's doing and detect/fix its mess in a timely manner anymore.
A couple of months ago it did the same to robot combat channels, suddently deciding it was "animal cruelty".
Believe it got fixed after a couple of weeks.
Then there was that livestream where the host ran some kind of contest or something and having people vote with emojis, and with the lot of them the AI decided it was spam and banned everyone, even locking them out of their Google accounts...
MT:
There is no real AI only algorithms and data sets it manipulates to look as if it was AI.
