The next one they really need to get after is "DIY" videos that tell you to do absolutely insane and dangerous things.
There are so many weird wiring "hack" videos telling you to do all kinds of splicing madness for home wiring, or telling you how to reuse microwave transformers without giving any adequate warning about how deadly it is, or that weird lady who mixes all the household cleaners in her toilet. Or even just the plumbing videos telling you to heat up and force PVC pipes over cast iron/brass if you don't have the proper fitting -- motherfucker what?!
Not to even mention how vital a piece of infrastructure YouTube is to the world of general right wing antifeminist/antitrans bigotry.
