... I'm questioning if this is due to the recent changes they made to demonitize anti-vax videos or if there's another reason... OP?

more that the set up the rules and precedent to censor opinions they dont want to push. sure fuck anti-vax people and maybe it is
somerandomtwat
good to censor that because it is a real danger to peoples health but you tube will not stop there

Propaganda? Why do I have the feeling that this refers to the recent demonetanization of antivaxxers..

they have demonetized millions of their users though. as well as their actions or inactions causing the death of many channels.

Oh my god there are channels that had a reduction in views?!? Almost as bad as an oppressive dictatorship causing mass genocide. Almost.
memesis
There's a balance between algorithm tuning, enforcing platform norms (fair or not), and encouraging advertisers to buy into the platform
memesis
At the end of the day, if there's no ad buys, there's no money for those channels. And views don't always turn into clicks at the same rate.
memesis
I'm not here to defend YT's decisions, just say that there's lots of reasons why those decisions need not be malicious or opioninated.

A) millions? B) unjustifiably? C) do you have many cases of where the decision was wrong?

You think YT gives enough of a shit about the people using it to be selective or careful with how they slap people with penalties?

No gulags so I’m disappointed in YouTube. Basically all the negatives of communism and not the one most important positive everyone loves

Gulags did not exist in the USSR after the 50s. The vast majority of the USSR's existence did not have Gulags.

That’s unfortunate.

Allowing anti vaxxers to spread misinformation that gets people killed is generally regarded by most people as a bad thing. And expecting-

a private corporation to pay them money to do so along the same lines as they pay verifiably true informative channels is also not good.
