I always find it amusing that a YouTube can be trusted to censor content for a multiple of reasons but can't figure out how to provide accurate closed captioning.

Ah yes, YouTube seems to have an interesting definition of what is considered inappropriate content when it comes to censorship. An accidental slip of a swear word might get flagged, while videos promoting harmful and dangerous ideologies slip through the cracks.

And don't even get me started on their closed captioning system. It's almost like they hired monkeys to transcribe the audio sometimes. But hey, at least we can always count on auto-generated captions for a good laugh!

Censorship is revenue linked via advertisers.

Closed captioning is a cost with marginal benifit to revenue

Everything comes down to $$ motivations
