A day may come when your politics differs from theirs, and then you will discover the problem with aggressive political censorship.
In any case, I disagree with the premise that "no ads means no value" for YT. Instead of ads they are just being compensated in other less direct ways. Every video that you watch improves their profile of you, which can and will be used for better ad targeting on other YT videos and other GOOG sites.
Furthermore, some people may come to YT for Alex Jones and then stay to watch other monetized vids. Banning him would reduce that indirect ad rev.
My politics already are not consistent with Google paying the bills for the Alex Jones content.
I wish no advertisers then Google boot it. You are a private organization so you have zero reason you need to follow freedom of speech.
Google has the most valuable data there is with search data so there is no value in profiles. Google is doing it as they think it is the right thing to do but that is flawed, IMO. Just get rid of it.
