And they allow the fake science channels too. There are lots of them with millions of views. They are as bad as the Batboy or bigfoot type tabloid newspapers in the grocery store.

You can make a YouTube video about literally anything, yes. That is the entire point of YouTube.

Spreading lies and misinformation should not be a business model. If businesses can't make policy to correct this, then the government should, and that opens up a lot of issues.

Day one: Dear citizens, your elected government is stepping in to combat the extensive spread of misinformation and lies in consumer media. We have heard your desire for a safer cleaner internet.
Day ???: Citizen of the state, receive your government sponsored daily truth. Any dissenting opinions will be met with immediate sanctions and corrective discipline. Remember, government is truth, government cannot lie. You will see reason or else.

That’s not their business model. Their business model is hosting content.

That’s completely false. There are plenty of things that are not allowed to be on YouTube already, and there’s always room to discuss what additional topics should be excluded from the platform.
