People take epilepsy risk a bit far. I mean I get it they don't want to kill someone but people with epilepsy know how much flickering is required to be a problem and honestly it's a lot. That flickering would be extremely annoying but it's not going to be dangerous to me.
Although I must say I've never actually seen this issue and I watch a lot of YouTube because of my job which requires me to be on call but not actually doing anything.
There is an issue that YouTube occasionally has where a video will lock up for a couple of seconds and it always locks up at exactly the same point, and always recovers at exactly the same point, but that's a very rare issue, isn't flashing so is unlikely to cause epilepsy, and has been around for years now so is nothing to do with AI.
