I wasn’t even thinking of a shadowy conservative cabal as much as just like- “Tailor your platform to encourage more watch time! Tailor your platform to encourage it’s users to be more tolerant of advertisements generally! Tailor your platform to promote more content that is related to our ads, and more easily bought out creators! If you don’t, we’ll pull our ads under the guide of moral policing!” kind of a thing.

But yeah it’s probably more of a hanlon’s razor kinda deal
