When my mom had cancer, I swear every relative and distant acquaintance came out of the woodwork trying to sell some kind of nonsense. It was already a devastating time, but on top of that it was insulting being forced to hear about all these delusional snake oil cures and conspiracy theories.
I sympathize. I have a severe nerve disorder and I get quack recommendations constantly. Even worse, I did a YouTube video about it and there were so many quack comments.
Ditto me and my autoimmune disorder
Oh hey, YouTube has a mechanism for that! Simply down-vote the video, and any future viewers will know that the video is likely ineffective because of the visible down-vote count that Google didn’t remove to make more money from advertisements. They didn’t remove it because they value the health of people suffering from cancer more than money. Good on them.
Don’t forget the rewind.
You mean this one? With 3.8M up-votes?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbJOTdZBX1g
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=YbJOTdZBX1g
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
People who believe in dumb idiot BS treatments tend to watch and like those kinds of videos too. Downvoting those videos might not be very effective because of the number of true believers watching them.
So they are finally taking down the bleach drinking guy?
The former president? No wait he wanted to inject bleach. Or sunlight or something I dunno.
Nah, everyone gets that second part wrong. He didn’t want you to inject sunlight, he wanted you to breathe it. Somehow. Like, I dunno, inhale a string of UV lights and give your lungs a tan or something.

One would think he would eventually cancel himself.
And it’s only taken them… since 2005.
My mom was drinking diluted hydrogen peroxide daily for a while because some quack on YouTube claimed it prevents/cures cancer.
You should have her see a doctor. That stuff is not for drinking. Hell, the labels specifically tell you that.
It’s probably too risky at this point. She could start foaming at the mouth any minute now and get an incorrect diagnosis of rabies.
If you tell her to wait a few years before drinking, the concentration will naturally go down as time passes. The longer you let this chemical sit in room temperature, the more oxygen and water you’ll have.
And some idiots will believe only more in it because it’s “forbidden knowledge” 🙈
Not that the deletion is wrong though …
When covid conspiracy loonies got kicked out, they landed in odysee and peertube. I guess the history will just repeat itself.
Only took them till now. Im surprised they even have people to do that job.
But news about “alternative facts” are a-ok
Better late than never!
Good move by Youtube here.
Awww man! Now where am I going to learn about back alley Italian doctors who’ve just learned about baking soda?
‘harmful or ineffective’
the word "Placebo:
I hope they ban any content of Farrah Bunch that are related (includes any other people that promote her product).
since there is no cure for cancer, all of them then?
