WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Jack Nicas, Ben Fritz, Rolfe Winkler, say it with me now
the same WSJ writers who "broke" the story that Pewdiepie was an "anti-Semite" and made him lose his sponsorships has been shown to have also peddled the story that got advertisers to boycott Youtube unless it remade the system
this new version is getting a lot of flak for being extremely generous with the term "tribal" when it comes to judging content
as shown in the video, one of the pieces of content in question is a video called "Chief Keef dancing to Alabama monday", "Alabama monday" being a loving SONG TITLE
the video was shown with coca cola ads before it, coca cola not long afterwards pulled their support
can we ask for these guys resignations yet?
original WSJ article is behind a paywall

King Tøny:
This ad controversy goes far.
Many alt right channels are getting shut down because they aren't "ad friendly"
Mainstream media is slowly dying and it doesn't want to catch up with the times.
King Tøny:
These advertisers don't look at the loving videos they place the ads on. They just do it.
Now youtube wants to remedy this by making videos ad friendly so advertisers don't need to watch the videos now to approve first.
