And people that support this kind of censorship also support a more corporate advertiser friendly youtube.
Good job.
This is very much the case.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
If this is allowed to stand as a precedent, then we leave the door wide open to allow for more and more YouTube to be kicked from the community.
This will no doubt continue until YouTube becomes just another form of Traditional Television. No interesting or unique views, no small-guys, only titans with stagnant views from one or two perspectives. This is done to appease the "Advertiser Friendly" complaints.
If there is to be any success in stopping this, there needs to be boycotts or some form of protest, but knowing the way people are now, they'll go the "No one else is doing it, why should I?" Route, as an excuse on why they don't want to give something up for the sake of preserving it.
I insist that boycotts are the only way to stop this, don't give them you're money. Don't pay for YouTube Red. Stop watching YouTube, Adblockers clearly aren't enough to warrant their attention. If this should occur, we may have a shot at keeping YouTube the way we want it...
Otherwise, enjoy watching YouTube die.
