Alex supposedly said a no-no word, which is what YouTube said the video was pulled for. Alex showed Tim that it wasn't actually what he'd said, Tim agreed and told YouTube. YouTube refused to reinstate the video, so Tim wanted to have a do-over.
Look, I don't agree with YouTube practices any more than I do Twitter's or Reddit's bullshit censorship, but folks who make a living on those platforms have to deal with them. I'm not allowed to wear a MAGA hat at work, but I can't just quit to make a point.
Alex Jones, unjustified as it was, has been booted from the platform, and so even featuring Jones in a video is pushing it. I'm surprised Tim even agreed to have him on, considering the likelihood of YouTube doing exactly what they did. Video definitely wasn't monetized.
So if YouTube tells Tim that Alex did a thing to get the video pulled, that's all he has to go on. And he's pushing back on it.
"They took down my video, its Alex's fault"
"Oh wait, just kidding, Youtube made a mistake. Come back on my show, Alex."
