There is a possibility that Google/YouTube has begun removing (or hiding) large numbers of jihadi videos. Specifically those of the Taliban.
The tracking we have done on a near daily basis involves "simple searches" of the words Awlaki, Mujahideen and Taliban.
To date there has been no movement on removal of Awlaki and Mujahideen videos, but four months evidence (screenshots taken) points to G/YT working on Taliban as a first step.
When we say removing videos keep in mind it is possible they are just hiding them from simple search results. That is OK news in one way. The average person (or MSM reporter) is still going to see results in the thousands, but viewing such a list now brings up just about anyone who has posted any video with the word Taliban in the text, or cartoons, opinion pieces, news pieces, comedy, musicians and even games. One has to go quite deep, page by page, to find actual videos uploaded by terrorist organizations or sympathizers.
Our guess is that G/YT is using an algorithm program similar to the one they introduced in February that was designed to weaken the search-ability of what is called content farming websites. Read here. That particular algorithm program does not delete searches, it just reroutes them to a less prominent position making them harder to find which we believe is what they have done with Taliban videos.
An example - February 9th is a study all by itself - thousands of videos were flying in and out all day long. These are screenshots all from that date:

His Highness speaks - "To our brothers in Palestine, we say to them, the blood of your children is the blood of our children, and your blood is our blood. So blood for blood and destruction for destruction. And we take Allah the Almighty as our witness that we will not let you down."
Mujahideen Across The Muslim Ummah - Global Jihad for the Sake of Allah
Here we have a video titled jihad nasheed. It has an image of the battle flag of islam. Underneath the "jihad nasheed", you can here gun fire and the sounds of battle. It was posted by misswow1000, who has lost at least one video for supporting terrorism.
Nah, this isn't a terrorist supporting video. No way. YouTube agrees. Though it has been brought to YouTube's attention, it remains.

UPDATE: Well darn, someone didn't like malik1980iraqi's message. Dirty kuffar...
You've worked so hard these last few days, let's take a break. As we head out to the playground, here are a few special messages brought to you by malik1980iraqi and his jihad enablers at YouTube, Google.

Good morning students of jihad. Let's begin class, shall we?
Despite the negative connotation of the word terrorist in America as elsewhere, those who can make claim to the moniker should stand proud!
The goal of radical Islam is to reestablish the Khilafah. Your jadeed is to erode the confidence in others that they have no chance of counteracting your work. The internet and this University in particular provide ample tools for accomplishing this goal. Acts of violence are very often used, here in class, you will learn to use videos of propaganda (another word oft misunderstood) in essence to brainwash the masses.
"Brainwashing is a multistage process whose ultimate goal is the destruction of an individual or a society's existing identity and its replacement with a new identity." SultanKnish

Students - good morning and welcome back! On-line schooling is a very exciting medium for budding jihadists in this day and age. Learning in the privacy of your own home is relaxing as well as safe from the prying eyes of those who might disagree with your choice in career. Your assignment for the weekend is to learn to navigate YouTube to find information on any aspect of terrorism you wish to pursue.
Research starts here with Videos! * * * Videos! Videos! Videos!
Spend as much time daily viewing what YouTube provides for you in order to get the most knowledge and benefit from this class and whatever you do, don't overlook the very motivational Nasheed's.
Put this animator on your blog!
