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.
While that would be great, in reality because of YouTube’s recommendations, the ones most likely to watch this crap are the ones already drinking the kool-aid and thus upvoting.
How time passes. This was not the case when down-votes were there. It used to be easy to identify when videos were full of shit, even with lots of views.
This might help others. It’s crowd-sourced and uses averages, but for what it “feels” like, it seems pretty accurate:

Don’t forget the rewind.
You mean this one? With 3.8M up-votes?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbJOTdZBX1g
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.
Only took them till now. Im surprised they even have people to do that job.
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.
And some idiots will believe only more in it because it’s “forbidden knowledge” 🙈
Not that the deletion is wrong though …
Awww man! Now where am I going to learn about back alley Italian doctors who’ve just learned about baking soda?
Good move by Youtube here.
