Came across this article discussed in a video. I had the author's name, half of the headline, and limited the search to this week, the article was not on the first few pages of a google search. It was the first result on duckduckgo.

Evidence suggests Tulsi Gabbard YouTube channel was censored in search at the height of media attention
Tom Parker Oct22, 2019
Gabbard’s response to Clinton on Friday (October 18) quickly went viral, propelled her to the number one trend on Twitter, and generated lots of media coverage...

According to Crowder’s tests, the YouTube search results showed nothing from Tulsi Gabbard’s official channel when searching from the US but five results when searching from Spain.

Crowder goes on to say that by Sunday (October 20), after the media attention generated by Gabbard’s response to Clinton had died down, YouTube switched the results back so that searches for “Tulsi Gabbard” from within the US and Spain were identical. ...[Still] none of the videos from the “Top news” section are from Gabbard’s official channel...

Gabbard’s social media follower growth during this period of heightened media attention shows that on YouTube her daily follower gain was relatively flat. By contrast, her Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter profiles gained significantly more followers than average on and around October 18. This could be the result of YouTube hiding Gabbard’s profile from search during this period.

Crowder’s release of this evidence comes a few months after Gabbard sued Google for election interference after a very similar incident. The incident that sparked this lawsuit involves Gabbard having her search ads account suspended while she was the most searched for Democratic presidential candidate after a debate.
