    I wish YouTube would just remove it. Tired of platforms being like “wow that’s awful, wanna see more?” Just get rid of it, get rid of her, get rid of the lot of them.

        The profit motive has resulted in a number of huge problems with youtube. Quite honestly I think it’s unwise to leave such a wealth of information in a capitalist’s hands.

      Whether it’s YouTube, Twitter or Reddit, all corporations that make their profits from advertising on the back of UGC have the same systemic failure in their calculus.

      There’s a monetary incentive to provide a platform to hate. There isn’t one to deplatform it.

        Is the profit motive the only issue here? IIRC YouTube leadership was forced to speak at congress hearings because the gov suspected them of biasing against conservative viewpoints.

    i’m under no pretenses Youtube is ever gonna give a fuck and do consistent things about this kind of content but it’s always fun when one of these people faces any consequences for posting it

    ‘May be’? Just say it is.

    Its good that theyre doing this though, hopefully this isnt a one off instance of demonetizing such things (or better yet unlisting or removing it)

    for every one of these that gets demonatized, 50 activist videos get demonatized for calling them out.

      you take what you can get with youtube honestly, i’m shocked they even punished that at all since it was probably great traffic for them

      no, i think still think it’s “good” if they selectively moderate it–as far as i’m concerned all of these people can get fucked–i just think it’s substantially better if they consistently do so. but i’m not about to point out the inconsistency when it’s beneficial to queer people lol
