Censorship is not just about whether something is visible or not(although the flagging does make negative posts invisible and it requires an extra click to make it visible again).

They simply do not allow you to monetize your video if the content is controversial. The abuse of the flag button here can lead to exactly the same thing that's happening on YouTube...
