RE: The YouTube censorship thread

I'd like to see someone start a new youtube, anything goes except a couple things such a child porn etc.

I wonder what the initial start up costs would be?

Most of the engineering effort for a site like YouTube is for handling hundreds of millions of users. To build a YouTube clone with no users would be cheap and could be done quickly.

The hard part is convincing enough people to post videos on a new platform so it could become comparable to YouTube in reach.

Big Corp + Big Gov = You Know Who

You know who else like mixing corporatism with socialism?

Yeah, that's right.

There was a video a while back when one of the first waves of YouTube demonitization occurred with Paul Joseph Watson and someone else who I can't remember.

They pointed out that not only were right wing videos being hit, but guys like PewDiePie (who was until that point apolitical) and Philip DeFranco (who is generally left wing) were as well. At the same time, corporate channels like CNN were not touched at all. They theorized that part of the censorship of hate speech, while obviously meant to silence the right, was also to censor YouTube personalities who were destroying established media companies with their huge followings.

While we should obviously worry about the free speech implications of this, we need to worry that this may very will be a corporatatist move as well.

This marriage between Big Statism and Big NewMedia is really disturbing.

I'm a small gov free marketer, but I now am beginning to understand just why anti-trust laws are necessary. I don't mind big corporations making "too much money" and that argument never persuaded me. I do mind when they get so powerful that they genuinely threaten to take away people's rights and freedoms. This looks a lot like that.

So let me get this right. 'Race Differences In Intelligence' is considered inappropriate or offensive. But this ISIS promotional video is just fine for public consumption:



What really gets me is that there is NOT A PEEP about this from anyone in the main stream but also alternative media. Youtube should be incessantly shamed about their moderation and censorship policies. Looks like an easy target to me.

The ADL has a long and sordid history of censoring white people, Arabs, Armenians, conservatives, libertarians, masculinity, anti-phagotry and so on. They are the living, breathing stereotype of the SHUT IT DOWN Jew.

That's it. We need a new/different platform. Something that indexes content and provides commenting capabilities mixed with a distributed bittorrent style video distribution system. If I wasn't already working 12 hour days seven days a week I would jump on this. Would be rather surprised though if there wasn't already a crew of sharp kids implementing just that.

Youtube has to die. We can bitch and complain about them all day but as long as we keep uploading and consuming content there we are basically guilty of feeding the beast.

Is there a central organizer to make massive coordinated "Youtube flagging" against misandrist videos, anti-native European videos, etc?

Good breakdown of how sneaky YouTube is in dealing with creators.



tl;dw

YouTube doesn't tell creators how they earn what they earn, and reserves the right to host or terminate any content it wants. So creators can't rely on YouTube to fund them, much less their work, even if they are PC and part of the YouTube Partnership.

Basically, they have retarded political correctness, "anti anti-everything" bots that will terminate something that doesn't in any way hurt people. For example that sword guy Thrand (first time I heard about him several days ago). More and more channels make exact copy on Vidme but Vidme will not get you money like youtube. Skallagrim for example states that youtube is his real job and dedication and if he were to lose his channel, that's it.

Back in the early 00's, when Silicon Valley stole songwriter's rights en masse, all the Web 2.0 groupies told us musicians to suck it, and that information 'wants to be free', as our ability to make even a living wage was kicked out from under most of us. *

At the time, I tried to explain to people that, one day, this could happen to their own line of work. Of course, it didn't work: there's nothing more people resent than seeing other people succeed over them.

So, my Dear Millennial Viral Stars, suck it. You got into bed with Known Rapists: so don't cry when you find yourself fucked and tossed to the kerb.

I know the song, because you online pricks taught it to me:

You're not entitled to money for your work and effort.
You're just selfish, capitalist pigs, maaaan.
If you were better at what you did, then the market would provide.
You should work for free for the exposure.
I guess it's time you get a real job.
I once bought your CD, so you owe me.
Anyone could do what you do! You have the easiest job in the world! Money for nothing, chicks for free, etc, etc.

Thegn Thrand is back up and running!

AB:

I think things are going to return to the way they were when youtube first started. People will use YouTube to funnel traffic to their website, and make their real money there. Reliance on youtube partnership was definitely a big mistake.
