yt is really showing his true face. maybe we should just go in, find these videos and report them, but i dont think it will end it. its like too little too late. google seems kinda unstoppable now, totally merged into the deep state.

They're all about censoring political opinions, yet they let this stuff slide.

It's all about the money. They're getting paid by groups like Shareblue to remove certain types of political content. So they prioritize that. But removing these gross movies is a low priority because it doesn't really impact their bottom line (except in the long term, when it becomes a PR disaster, then they have to clean it up to avoid the loss of customers)

Now, usually I would recommend FreeTube as an alternative for content creators, as an effective boycott (if they wish). However, I'm not sure whether it would help in this case.

  • On the one hand, it'd stop Elsagate and make it a little harder for people to get kids to watch stuff they shouldn't be watching.
  • On the other hand, it'd make it easier for people to share videos to a select, limited audience.

Given that people who want to share videos privately already have numerous ways of doing so, I'm erring on the side of FreeTube being a good thing to share in these cases – but PLEASE argue with me on this because I'm not sure and this is important.

The problem is basically the BIG channels on youtube (as with a lot of YT stars for kids) their lively hood is dependent on youtube income. So you may get people to move who don't make ad money or who are no dependent on it.

Edit: also it doesn't come with your smartphone when you buy it, so the big audience will never know anyway.

I'm sure you could set up advertisements on FreeTube. Actually, I'm certain that you could, if you wanted to. Whether it's easy is the other thing.

Don't forget facebook, twitter and any other ad-driven 'user content platform'.

The way it works:

Someone (usually skilled/connected enough to do it anonymous) uploads tis shit

Posts the link on shady ass closed communities (usually you have to pay for acces, crypto is also a bless for these ******)

It gets views and (even if ads are turned off in yt) this 'view' time is their biggest selling point to advertisement companies. If there are ads shown, it's big money for these companies since it's regarded by their linked viewers as a free porn streaming service with some ads.

Now these payed communities usually have like a manual.

i guess it's good that this was exposed but it's funny how a pedo is the one who exposed it, looking for attention and his own youtube moinetizations

Why is so much good, non-harmful content get demonetised when there is still monetisation on this???
