Youtube is going even further than demonetization. Not only will your videos not get sponsored, they won't even show up unless you are following the channel itself.

Youtube have confirmed they are doing this soon.

This is a prospect currently affecting centre-left commentators, the skeptic community, and anyone short of what is considered the deep left politically. Right now, it might seem OK for some of you. But eventually should your opinion vary by 1 opinion and margin, good luck finding videos that support your view in 5 years.


Some videos are also being made so they can only be viewed outside the US. Can't let us citizens see stuff about the bill of rights or right leaning news. No we must only be allowed far left leaning lies and propaganda.

I don't watch Alex Jones or other similar stuff, but they'll be fine, they have millions, their own media sites and corporate sponsors. That guy making gun reviews, that lady who spends all day watching congress and reading proposals and then explaining and educating people , the video gamer who time to time talks news they can't afford any of that stuff. I watch video gam videos, shave videos, gun reviews/channels , and that lady(she's moved off YouTube now after they demonetized and hide every video she's made in the past 7 years). What do they have in commons, most are being hit by this. A lot won't be able to keep making money,all while YouTube continues to run ads on their videos. Some were like fine no more ads cool, but nope still tons of ads and profits from their content just they don't get paid.

I don't find that paranoid at all. YouTube is owned by Google. Google isn't just a private corporation. It's a monopoly. Thus, boycotting Google is nearly impossible.

The folks at Google have a lot of power. They are going to use that power unless we find a way to stop them. Human nature.

If YouTube started taking down far-left videos, I wouldn't be surprised. Those videos aren't good for advertisers either.

Our corporate overlords hate the economic far-left. Their reasons for this are obvious. Of course, they aren't fond of the anti-globalist far-right either. After all, globalism and mass immigration are generally good for big business.

Far left videos from Western content creators will be the next (if last) of political commentaries to go from Youtube.
There is only so much boycotting advertisers will take from people who go "you support this person, who works for this company, who supports this politician....therefore...BOYCOTT ad sponsor and BOYCOTT Youtube!! !"

Eventually all you will have are consumerist content, MSM supported videos and foreign content that we will be pushed to consume also.
That is all Amazon want for their customers...and by the looks of things Facebook and Google.

EDIT: @DMK I believe displacing large swathes of people from incompatible cultures and forcing them to coexist as refugees in the West serves the globalists to no end, but that's for another topic :)
