All of Ben shapiro's most viewed videos are now censored on youtube (just like every prominent conservative). Their "relavance" algorithm has turned into hiding any popular conservative video. When you search for them, only the left wing agenda videos are buffered and the highly rated videos are buried.

I found this out by changing the settings to "Most viewed" and then all of the popular videos loaded.

LINK 1 - this is youtubes default "Relevance" algorithm

LINK 2 - this is the setting now changed to "view count"

Social media is running an all out war against the right. They are trying to erase it and push only the Left's point of view.

Let me save you some time for every Shapiro video:

Video 1: dumb liberal asks dumb question then Shapiro—or anyone with common sense for that matter—proceeds to “beatdown” the liberal

Video 2: Shapiro goes on some rant that eventually leads to backing Israel.

Your welcome.

We know how it works. It is operating as a publisher...not a platform. It can kiss it’s immunity goodbye. They can censor whomever they want. They can also be sued for libel and any other damages caused by their content. If that’s the trade they want, more power to them.

I thought it was just me, but yeah I noticed my Shapiro notifications have slowed to a crawl.

And my little brother just had a very popular IG post calling trans men and women by their original genders removed for "violating community standards."

The anti-anythingrightofcenter crowd is in full court press right now, Jesus Christ.

So ... what are we going to do about it?

If you want to watch Joe Rogan you have to watch YouTube.

If you want to watch all the cool diy projects and educational videos .... yep, you gotta watch YouTube.

Building an alternative would take billions and then the SJW corporations would refuse to push ads to support it not to mention the tech issues involved with gaining access to the software to run said network.

We’re fricked nine kind of ways from Sunday.

Unless someone has a plan?

There may be hope.

quote:

The White House launched a new system Wednesday to collect stories about free speech censorship on social media.
“SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS should advance FREEDOM OF SPEECH,” the website reads. “Yet too many Americans have seen their accounts suspended, banned, or fraudulently reported for unclear ‘violations’ of user policies.

They came for Donald Trump and I cheered, because they weren't coming for me.

They came for Trump Supporters and I cheered, because they weren't coming for me.

You honestly didn't know YouTube tracks what you watch and delivers a just for you skewed view by default. It's owned by Google! If you watch conservative flavors you'll get more by default. You watch liberal stuff and it's more of that for you. And share that browser (in the family -w/ wife, or kids) and that'll also change results.

. . . and Yes thar's a differnce - you've simply overridden their base results for you and asked for most watched in this case. I'd get a different look on the first too but not too much different (on second method) when selecting most viewed.
