FWIW, I found a Tweet dating back to Jan 8 that was in reply to somebody who tweeted a Youtube livestreamed dogsledding race: https://twitter.com/Cami5320/status/1479893333480599555

One more reason to use youtube-dl / yt-dlp then?

Never seen before but it kinda makes sense.. if I was YT?

A bad actor could sign up, start a livestream and start spamming the link to gain thousands of viewers. But of course this also fairly limits the ability of a community to start a stream and garner following.

It's working for me, here's the picture of the tweet in case it is locally blocked: https://i.imgur.com/dh1kU1q.png

Anyways it looks like censorship is thriving like never before. I wonder what' up.
