I spend quite a lot of my day watching the videos , which are of a higher and higher quality as more people take the trouble to upload them knowing that they have an intelligent audience. Youtube routinely removes videos that it considers of fake news of the process of doing this is handed out to workers who do not know what they're doing and rely on keywords.
