The issue is not YouTube. Websleuths has a great YouTube channel, different crime podcasts have great YouTube channels. I’ve given interviews through my law firm on YouTube, spoken at virtual conferences through YouTube. It can be great for content.
The issue is anyone can make and upload YouTube videos. So people with no background in LE or law or journalism just say whatever they want and then people repeat it as fact without looking into the credibility of the source. That’s why random YouTube videos aren’t allowed but videos from known news or crime sources are.
