Same thing here, I think we're heading into the over-sterilization area of the curve, and maybe we should think about what the "food allergy" analogue is for people who grow up never seeing a single controversial idea expressed ever because all their media is sterilized.

I support even grifters to have a platform for their voice. One's grifter maybe another's leader.
Why is this riling up HN?
I have a bunch of unlisted videos myself, e.g. "audition tapes" when applying for an acting role. I want the people who I send it to to be able to watch it, but I don't want it to be findable. Nothing nefarious about this.
Some source criticism goes a long way to make Hakim an unreliable source for statements on Yeonmi Park. She will have enough problems getting used to the idiosyncrasies of the current self-hating western society without more attacks from those who follow the ideology she escaped from.
Who is this Hakim, why is he credible, and why should I listen to him?
A brief Googling gives me the impression he's a patreon-funded social media personality with a rather far-out ideology ("Just your friendly neighborhood Marxist"), and frankly that doesn't inspire confidence. IMHO, people like that are usually "stopped-clocks" at best (as in the expression about being occasionally correct but too unreliable to be trusted).
However, it was tweeted was two days ago.
It's unclear whether it's a bug on Youtube side or real censorship actually happened or user error.
At this stage this is not a valid censorship case against Youtube.
I would remove the post if I could.
Voting with my wallet.
IIRC, Odysee is a somewhat curated interface to some kind of blockchain that can't be censored. So I'm guessing that even if a video is taken down from it, it may still actually be accessible at the lower layer.
IMHO, some kind of active moderation is absolutely required for video/images, given the very real possibility for immoral and illegal content that I absolutely do not want to stumble upon. So Odysee strikes me as about the most permissive tradeoff that can be tolerated.
I found the video by searching on YouTube

Why exactly is this being upvoted?
Give me a break.
The video is essentially hellbanned.
[edit] It’s listed now if I click back to Park’s account page. Glitch or anti-Streisand maneuver? Impossible to tell.
Cannot reproduce.
I suspect upvoters did not attempt to reproduce, which is why everyone saying this is a thing is using a secondary source instead of posting their own screenshots.
The cause is worthwhile but this is just a self promoter who knows that certain sections of the internet are gullible retransmitters for certain memes. Flagging the submission.

It’s literally the first thing. I guess this is what censorship looks like, lol.
