RE: YouTube is not about you

in #news7 years ago

YouTube only cares about $$$. That means placating corporations over the independent, original content creators that make the platform successful. I don't think it's a good long term strategy to censor content in this way. It just pushes people away to other platforms.

Also, Tim Pool is one of the best people to follow for fair coverage of events!

Sort:  

Sure, nothing wrong with siding with corporations. But make it clear it is so. My problem is censorship, not necessarily the fact they're chasing money. If they'd just say that this move would be an attempt to capture investors, that would be fine. Still maybe wrong, but a different matter entirely. But as it stands, they claim they work in the interest of the creators and truth, which is completely antithetical to their actions, based on extremely vague policies that could dismiss anyone.

And yes, that is why I quote Tim Pool and appreciate his work. Because he doesn't really take a side, except that of free speech.

Yeah, that's true, it's disingenuous.
