What exactly is being censored, show me the receipts bro

Seems all the closeted purple forum members come out whenever Doc is mentioned.

Or the folks who find it despicable that you're sending inappropriate texts to a minor when you're married and have a child?

Get real man. This is not a good person.

AFAIK music videos has always been the most popular/watched content on youtube. The rest is tailored to each user by the algorithm. So if that's how your homepage looks... My goodness..

By super right you mean it doesn’t sensor free speech?
You understand that no company has to adhere to your 'freedom of speech' right?

Absolutely no company on earth needs to adhere to that.

Free speech doesnt mean you can say whatever you want without any consequences to your actions.

Even Neogaf does not adhere to 'free speech' where you can just say whatever you want and expect it to not have any consequences. Trust me, I know.

YouTube demonetizes you (as a YouTuber) if you say certain words, if you use swear words in the first 3-5 minutes of the video, and will flat out remove your video or ban your account if you say something THEY deem inappropriate, and when they deplatform/ban/penalize you, they will say that you broke the rules of conduct, but they will refuse to tell you what was it in your particular video that you did which earned you the penalty/demonetization/ban.

A famous example I think was back in the Covid epidemic where they would demonetize YouTubers for speaking against vaccination.

I would say Trump and his buddy minister Musk are right-wing and infamously self-proclaimed champions of free speech. However...:

X owner Elon Musk is the world’s wealthiest flag-bearer for free speech, but under his leadership the social media platform is acceding to government requests to take down or withhold user content at a significantly higher rate than it did in the years leading up to his 2022 purchase.

People buy in to the ‘freedom of speech anywhere and everywhere’ memes unironically and don’t understand what a private company/terms of service is.

You just argued my point for me. Thank you.

Crowder mostly. He got a few strikes for talking about election integrity. People like Scott Adams and Russell Brandon also had issues with YouTube because of talking about the Covid vaccine. Bongino has partial ownership, so I think that's why he's exclusive. Charlie Kirk often gets taken down on YouTube as well.

Whatever dude. If you want to act like a clown then keep posting like this. I don't know what you wanted from this interaction. You posed a question and I answered.

If you want a discussion, your in the right platform (here on GAF).

If you want to spout nonsense and then not elaborate, this isnt the platform for you.

Thanks, I'll def look into this, but I don't know or have ever heard of these people. Americans I assume? Either way It'll look further into it. Thanks for coming through with the receipts 👊🏼🙏 I appreciate it

While being fucked up for the content creator in question, demonitization isnt censorship.

What is your point dude? What do you want me to say? YouTube is against free speech and Rumble isnt?

Like honestly what do you want from me? Or what is the answer your looking for? Do you understand what free speech is?

Do you understand businesses have their own rules and regulations? If I go to a coffee shop and start throwing shit at the wall, you think they wont be able to throw me outside? Or what 🤷🏼‍♂️

Go through the twitter files and get back to me.

I was talking about content creators like Steven Crowder and Dan Bongino. Those guys want Rumble to be the next YouTube but it won’t happen. Same thing with Bluesky. It won’t be the next Twitter.
Oh, wait, so it's even worse than I thought. Yeah, I just did a quick check, and it seems like the site is more or less funded/invested in by a group of right-wing whack-jobs.

I get that. YouTube is by far the more user friendly experience. I use it often enough that I pay for premium. Unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you look at it, it is also incredibly censored. When I would try and find data on covid for example it was impossible if you wanted anything outside the mainstream narrative. Turns out a lot of the mainstream narrative was actually the misinformation.

On a different note I hope rumble grows because competition is always good. It would push YouTube to be even better.

It really isn't IMO. The guy is a mess.

He's signing there because it's literally the only option he has. Them signing him says a lot about them. Even Kick turned him down. Process that.

From the look of that screenshot, I'm glad I never gave Rumble a click. It definitely looks like a site that gives people a platform that don't have options anywhere else, lmao.

Not a fan of Disrespect and I don’t use Rumble, but there absolutely should be many platforms for everything.

Imagine the only way to post on forums is via Reddit. It’s not a good outcome for anyone other than Reddit.
Couldn't agree more! Always great to have competition and options. Even if the options pale in comparison to the others.

Why would you pay for premium when you can get free apps that do the same that YT premium does?

My man. Do some research please!

I'm not disagreeing with you. I see people on YouTube talking about their comments being deleted all the time. Especially on bodycam channels. They also removed dislikes among other things. Google is a shit company. Everyone knows this.

More competition is good, but they need more than ultra right political commentators and washed up streamers like Doc to draw people to the platform. YouTube thrives because of the wealth of children's content and random videos that suit anyone's interests. Like, if I want to watch a video about what it looks like falling into Jupiter, YouTube is the place to go, not Rumble.

So we went from "It's not happening" to "OK, it's happening, but it's a good thing." Okay, cool.
When did I say that? I find it very normal businesses have rules and regulations. Literally every company in the world has that.

Free speech isnt the end all be all of you can do and say whatever you want without consequences.

I dont understand whats so weird about that. Or controversial. Thats not even left leaning, thats normal business practices.

If I act like a moron in the club they are gonna throw me out. Or should I yell FREE SPEECH I THOUGHT THIS WAS MURICA

According to Rockman33, if you're 'super right' (whatever the fuck THAT means), you won't get censored. Or platforms that are 'super right' don't censor its creators.

It'll bet if you put some 'super left' content on those websites/channels, they would censor you just as easily.

The entire left vs right bullshit needs to end, and people need to start talking to eachother in a normal fashion and find some common ground. But then you have folks like Rockman33 who don't even want a normal conversation, they just want to be morally superior like some man from an ivory tower casting judgement on others.

Sadly the entire left vs right idiology has come from the US and taken most of the world by storm. Like the idiots on the left dont understand why the right is growing. And the people on the right just want to shit in the left, not look for solutions to problems.

At least thats how it looks from my (Dutch) perspective.

You questioned where the censorship is and I answered, only for you to handwave it as 'people saying stupid things', which is highly subjective.

YouTube itself refuses to tell YouTubers why it penalized them when it does so, which is a pretty shitty thing to do to someone who's made that platform directly linked with their income.

Not when those practices seem to be more strict and thoroughly enforced to YouTubers of a particular political isle, while the other side gets gentle slaps on the wrist for saying much worse.

Saying that you question the effectiveness of a vaccine which was later proved to be linked to cardiac arrests is hardly 'acting like a moron', but you do you.

Everyone said that, including on Resetera, up until Musk bought Twitter. It remained private site that can censor whatever it wants, but people began to whine and can't seem to stop, including some gov representatives. Which makes me very skeptical that most use this argument in good faith. Especially when there is government interference.

NeoGaf is gaming website, not world's prime source for entertainment and information. So far ;)

As for youtube, IRRC they deplatformed many people who questioned COVID response, vaccines, etc. They took down Jimmy Dore's interview with RFK Jr, already popular 3d party presidential candidate, etc. Make of that what you will.

Most annoying part for me is how they now make everyone use alternative wording 'e.g. Unalived himself', censor even tame pics with blood or violence, etc. That affects everyone regardless of political views.

I could be wrong here but I think many people perceive center right all the way to ultra right wing in the same box. A lot of these people found a home on rumble because they were heavily censored on left wing sites for voicing there opinions that don’t fit the left wing narrative.

The best way to debunk any narrative is to let people discuss and all come to the conclusion themselves instead of only showing one side.

Agree with you about YouTube, hence why I’m willing to pay for YouTube premium and not rumble premium(if that’s a thing?)

No I just meant demonitization isnt censorship. If your content can still be viewed you aren't being censored.

I already said to that guy who came through with names of people who have gotten banned, I said thank you for these receipts, I will investigate. Im genuinely curious about this sort of stuff, especially since I upload content to YT (nothing that could be banned).

I honestly wasnt trying to handwave away your information or comment :)

And I'm not saying those YT'ers were acting like morons, I was using it as an example of when free speech doesnt necessarily apply. Like if Im acting like a moron in the club for instance.

I don’t have an issue with a private entity enforcing their own censorship rules. I have an issue with the people in charge forcing those rules. Twitch targets people they don’t like based on ideology to ban them on any slip up and then pretends everyone is subject to the same rules.

Sure, every drug has (the potential for) side effects. So the question is, why were people deplatformed, silenced, censored and called liars when they were weren't lying?
Because people were eating horse paste and drinking silver and saying it's going to be fine? Sometimes it's a public health issue. There are ways for the nutjobs to get their message out there, but a private company has no obligation to provide it.
