I'm not sure what to think of this change. Is it right to remove or deprioritise popular videos from search results if those videos come from unqualified "Doctors". I presume this also applies to anyone discussing a health topic who is not a health professional.

On the other hand, I understand why YouTube has taken this approach. There is a lot of misleading health advice too - it's impossible to police it all. YouTube's approach is to populate search results from health professionals or "credible health sources".

It's a difficult problem to tackle. What do think of this change to YouTube search? Do you think health videos should be unfiltered in search results - no matter the content, or who it comes from?
