As for mrebo, no one is cutting off the right, they’re bigger than ever on Youtube and just want to play the victim like they always do.
Yes, people on the right are being cut off. It’s not “playing victim” when powerful media corporations shut out people based on their political views.
Except that’s not what’s happening, at least in Youtube’s case. Youtube is demonetizing a great many people, not all of them are conservative or even political commentators at all. Left-wing commentators, gun channels, “reaction” channels, gaming channels, it’s happening across the board.
I have a problem with youtube’s demonetizing in general. I am more familiar with people on the right being targeted (and I’d include gun channels in that), but I am also aware of youtube discriminating against reaction & gaming channels for swearing (or extreme antics). But I’m not just talking youtube.
Extreme antics is an interesting way to describe racial slurs, anti-semitic language, and making light of suicide (including footage of a dead body). Amongst other things.
Those are extreme examples but I didn’t intend my phrasing to be comprehensive in any event.
There’s an argument to be made too that Youtube is a private company and can decide who makes money on their site or not as they please.
You don’t see me advocating legislation. Doesn’t mean I need to accept whatever a private company does. In fact, I can go on a Star Wars fan site and gripe about it! When major corporations seek to enforce restrictions on speech that should be cause for concern.
