re: Youtube demonitizes Dave Rubin's channel

I just don't see how you can present yourself for years as a forum generally open to all ideas and then suddenly think you can pick and choose what ideas you find "offensive" and think it will stop there and that's it.

---

they are not picking and choosing, that is the part youre choosing to ignore

they are putting a wide ad ban on it all, even the non-controversial political stuff

and like i said, the videos are still there...so?

quote:

---

theyre choosing to make less money while keeping his videos on their platform

advertisers are pulling the strings here, not youtube.

bullshite and you know it.

but even if was a big conspiracy theory and youtube is to blame, rubin can go elsewhere with his content

---

Well that makes it ok then.

quote:

they're clearly picking sides

you realize the uber leftist, 3rd wave feminst BS is getting demonetized too, right?

quote:

---

you built yourself as an open forum for generally ALL ideas, and now you're suddenly deciding you want to limit POLITICAL discussion.

---

they are not removing the videos man...

I'm just saying, I think it could backfire in a big way. I guess we shall see.

doubtful, youtube is about as big as a monopoly as they come

yes. how does that apply to centrist, non-controversial Dave Rubin?

again, i specifically waited for Rubin to get hit b/c he is not controversial, trollig, or dramatic

if Rubin is demonitized, EVERY political video should be. how many centrist-left videos have been demonitized?

i know extremist ones have and some LBGTQ videos have been flagged, but i'm talking about non-controversial/extreme outlets

his titles are political in nature, no one knows for sure, but all videos that include titles that are political are facing the same issues

---

So I assume they're burying all CNN clips that have to do with politics as well, right?

quote:

---

90% of videos are about politics, that is why they are being demonetized

OK, then people like Franchesca Ramsey and Anita Sarkesian are all about politics and they piss me off. So they should be demonitized as well? Wait they aren't. You mean so long as you're a Leftist Hack that you can still make money on YouTube, but conservatives, libertarians, and classical liberals (which have really won the platform over the SJWs) can't make money on there? This isn't about defending capitalism, what YouTube is doing is Orwellian. They can no longer say they're a free speech platform.

If Hillary had won, I guarantee we wouldn't be seeing this. They largely blame YouTube and people like Sargon of Akkad and Dave Rubin for giving these thoughts a platform to allow Trump to win. That hit piece of PewDiePie by the WSJ would have never happened. What they're trying to do is turn YouTube into cable, hence why I refuse to give them cash for YouTube Red.

shite, does anyone remember those YouTube commercials last year that pretty much said "frick white people and go out and rob a gas station since that's what normal people do?" Here's that commercial that pretty much says committing crimes and having kids you can't afford is perfectly acceptable: LINK

That commercial is the most batshit insane advertisement I've ever see from a non-ambulance chaser. I would just love to be in the boardroom when that (among other horrible commercials) were pitched around the table. These people are batshit insane and should be called out for their bullshite to their faces as often as possible. They're delusional Leftists who thinks everyone thinks their way, and if not they're racists who should be fired. Just everyone to the right of Karl Marx is a racist to these people.

Actually, that's exactly what is happening. Go ask Franchesca Ramsey or Anita Sarkesian if they have been negatively affected by the Adpocalypse. They haven't. They are completely cherrypicking these people.

Total bullshite. Anita Sarkessian has been bitching for months that all of her critics still make some money from YouTube and it's not enough that they haven't completely been silenced. The only Leftie issue I've seen negatively affected are LGBT videos. Other than that, nothing.

yeah simple question: has the young turks been demonetized?

---

Actually, yeah some have. I think the Sam Harris one has and multiple from Jimmy Dore. They do speak out very regularly against the establishment and hate the elected Democrats, so I'm thinking thats more where their demonetization is coming from.
