>Not anymore a conspiracy theory. This is the actual big brother modeling our futures,
No. This is a company that gets 99% of its income from selling ad space doing what they need to do to keep advertisers, their customers, happy.
It is not a conspiracy, Big Brother isn't trying to censor you, YouTube is trying to keep their customers happy to keep money flowing in.
I'm tired of people complaining YouTube demonetizing, or removing, videos is some sort of state-sponsored censorship. We had this exact same thing happen to many firearm channels in the past couple of years and it had nothing to do with guns being evil and everything to do with some of the channels were doing outright dangerous things and that advertisers did not want to be associated with home-made ammunition (taofledermaus exists solely to shoot home made ammunition, stuff like lego heads/nails/pennies/wax/anything you can think of), bumpstocks (JerryRigEverything showed one when it was in the news, DemolitionRanch showed how to bumpfire without a bumpstock), what happens if I put the wrong caliber ammunition in a firearm (Demolition Ranch, also I believe King of Everything did this as well he also was in the news for at least two of his videos and had legal action taken against him for making explosives around the same time) and video series like:
"what happens if I shoot OBJECT with a 50 cal" DemolitionRanch 50-cal Fridays
"what happens if I microwave ammunition/loaded firearms/full magazines" DemolitionRanch
Etc.
People screamed this was some Orwellian, big brother, gotta oppress people, conspiracy and it was nothing more than YouTube doing CYA and attempting to keep their customers (the advertisers) happy.
As a creator or viewer you are NOT a customer of YouTube, you are the product.
When they have more influence on citizens than governments, perhaps we should revisit our definition of what public means.
In the other hands, there has been already ideology ban and promotion of their own, and recently in a leaked video, they affirmed how they will stop promoting certain political views and promote the ones they find correct for the 2020 elections.
Laugh now at the leolingua described by George Orwell, what is freedom and what is public?
