Google and YouTube are staffed with raging progressives, activist employees who proudly bring their politics to work with them. This was no "mistake." The people wielding the levers behind the scenes were fully cognizant of what they were doing.

They've already got plenty of nickels, they want ideological control, too. Don't doubt it.

Exactly, after your first few billion dollars, it just doesn't matter anymore, it's about that time that the ultragarchs turn their baleful gaze to the levers of power and control.

that is the usual .isdirection, those employees are allowed and endorsed bt Google, NYT, etc. policy to bring that specific line of politics. If they brought "deviant" politics to work they would lose their jobs quickly.
