As I predicted in discord just this morning; a show of veiled support (though addressing the charged falsehoods that were stated about YTs positions), a sharp slap on the hand, and an actually impressive stand stating the truth of YTs purposes. Well handled indeed...

Does this calm all my fears that we creators will be effected by this negatively? No. But its good to see YT has a spine and can, while showing support for a side, also not crumple under politically charged allegations against them. And that does encourage me a bit.

But they did completely break under political pressure...?

Considering the weight being leaned on them by advertisers & political activists, I honestly expected a total cave in & capitulation. So I see a firm stance that YT is an open medium, while also throwing the dogs a rather vague bone (which is under review still), as a good step.

They made the smart decision for their business, which was neither a cave in nor a political martyrdom. The fact that they are willing to take some heat for a good business move encourages me.

Oh? They're taking much more heat now having caved in and ban an entire half of American politics because on guy was insulted. I'd say that is the definition of political martyrdom. Difference in viewpoint, I guess.

Perhaps I need to reread the statement, I didn’t see a cave in personally. Thought that they were taking a stand.

This statement and the action they took are entirely seperate. Despite everything in the statement, thousands of channels were terminated and/or booted from monetization entirely including

Totally fine. YouTube didn't exactly tell the whole truth with this statement, and many news sites are already claiming that "only white supremacists are being banned" which is demonstrably untrue. I appreciate having grown up with YouTube, but they're losing my respect with this
