			== In fairness to YouTube ==

			<blockquote>
			YouTube and its parent company Google have neglected to stop the proliferation of this content on its platform.

I say this as someone who has criticized Google a lot. [[User:JodyBruchonFan\|JodyBruchonFan]] ([[User talk:JodyBruchonFan\|talk]]) 20:14, 14 February 2026 (UTC)
