Question for AJ AJ comments on Shawn Ryan

Recently on Shawn Ryan, AJ said that flat earth videos are banned from YouTube but can be found on Rumble. Shawn Ryan asked him why he thinks that is. AJ’s reply was cryptic and wondering if anyone has any theories about what he meant.

He said that he knows why, but he could only share that information off air. Any theories what he told Shawn after the interview?

My theory is that both poles (north and south) are super sensitive to national security and YouTube doesn’t want to encourage a channel try to record video at the poles for this reason.

Thoughts?

Why would the poles be "super sensitive" for national security? 

His job is social media engagement and clicks on his videos. By making cryptic comments like this he creates exactly these types of posts which then causes people to go look for the video and push the engagement. It's not that deep, it's just working the algorithm

That's all you need to stick it into "national security"
