Your face reminds me of a bleak future
Despite the absence of hope

YouTube has changed the way they inform people of a policy they've had since 2012 and autistic internet children have decried it as the end of free speech as we know it.

Normally I would totally bang the drum that silencing people from the services that define communication in the modern world is censorship or something equivalently bad, especially when these companies have worked really hard to become near-monopolies. That the right metaphor is not the bank not letting me protest in their lobby, it's AT&T cutting off my phone service because it's the mccarthy era and they were told I'm a commie. That "no platforming" was the shittiest idea that anyone who calls themselves a liberal could ever support, and will accomplish nothing good and do much harm.



but in this case they're not being kicked off youtube or even having videos blocked, they're just not getting adbucks. youtube's still providing them bandwidth and allowing them to voice their opinions to anyone that wants to watch it, they're just not being paid for the privilege.

The "fat Youtube dollars" bubble was always bound to burst, but it seems like people are upset over how Youtube has chosen to implement these new restrictions, moreso than the restrictions themselves. I'm more irritated at the limp-wristed defense of these policies and this notion that objecting to this practice is somehow a selfish attitude to take.

This being said, Patreon is surely going to explode because of this. A large audience generates revenue, and Youtube remains a platform for building an audience, ad revenue or no ad revenue. I doubt very much will change because of this. It's better for everyone not to rely on adverts because advertising is never a reliable income source these days.

Most people who are "big" on Youtube have jumped to Patreon anyways IMO, since Adblockers are such a prevalent thing. As you said, most of the rage about this is just bad communication on Youtube's part, because who thought having "no swearing or violence" in the List Of Bad Things would go over well?

Yes, because those are the only websites that will have their DNS registration taking away. It's totally okay to not have the internet protected by the first amendment. Let's just let governments censor whatever they want so they can push any of their propaganda through unchallenged. I'm sure you'd love it if Trump wins and he can censor any websites that criticize him.

Everything that was once considered a leftist position is now a conservative position. Small government / low taxes / anti-authoritarianism / free speech. All were leftist positions for most of human history until Marxism became a thing. Get used to it.

Yeah great or it could be that the conservative party is just grasping at straws and trying not to hemorrhage voters after being outed as the Party of Broken-brained Bigot Assholes. They're not actually "for" any of those things you said.

I never said they were. I'm not a Republican and don't consider myself a conservative. It's the left who has ousted the true liberals and branded them as conservative right wingers. I'm glad the progressives aren't calling themselves liberals anymore.

Yes. This is about handing over DNS control from NTIA to ICANN, a private global entity.

I see where 8-bit Scholar is coming from and tbh I don't really disagree with his logic but this is something the free market will handle imo... if YouTube sucks bad enough everyone will just use a competing service no?


Google fiddling with search results and poo poo at the request of authorities is a little more disconcerting bc then the state *is* involved in messing with you and then it doesn't matter what service you use because presumably the precedent has been set; the state can enforce cooperation through FISA courts and poo poo.
