TOS are a necessary evil. You ever hear of 8chan? It is/was (I honestly don’t even know which tense is accurate at the moment) a website that basically ran under a single rule: don’t post content that breaks US law. That’s pretty much it. And as soon as people started spreading the word, it basically became a wretched hive of scum and villainy, with entire boards devoted to shit like: coordination of trolling and doxxing campaigns like Gamergate, shit that is as close as is legally allowable to child porn, Qanon, Nazism, and no less than three mass shooters using it to get the word out. As you can imagine, this led to 8chan becoming a board that’s so toxic that nobody wants to host them. This is what a site without TOS looks like.
That said, sometimes, the TOS of major sites can be ridiculous, or, frankly, completely arbitrary. As a fan of Mumkey Jones who followed his increasingly inexplicable banning from Youtube, I am incredibly aware of this.
(Note: several points of the video became dated. The channel he advertised at the end was deleted a few days after it started, and the theory he expounds about the FBI seeing his videos mocking spree shooter Elliot Rodger as a terrorist threat turned out to be false, so I’m left to assume it was something largely arbitrary.)
And the thing is, the bigger an organization gets, especially if they’ve dominated the market to such a degree that there’s no real alternative, if they wield their power in such an arbitrary fashion, there’s no real recourse. That said, at least there are other places for Vaush et al to stream. Hell, I’ve even seen Youtube hosting his streams, so at least there’s something.
