    I guess I’ll chime in on this whole #VoxAdpocolypse debacle. I think both sides of the aisle are going to the absolute extremes on this issue and blaming each other when @TeamYouTube terrible TOS and clear miscommunication are the absolute root of the problem.

        First off, I’m actually fine with Chowder being demonetized by YouTube. His use of the words “fag” and “queer” are not “Free Speech”, they are used with malicious intent and are being used to belittle someone for their sexual preference for the sole purpose of appealing to a very

        specific demographic. The “Fig” shirt is a thinly veiled attempt at normalizing a hateful slur, and the people defending it KNOW this, and are going to the mat the defend it because it lines up with their world view, not because “THE SHIRT SAYS FIG DAMNIT!”

        This wild claim that this is yet another 5D chess move by YT to “de-platform the right” falls flat on it’s face when you consider that channels from both sides of the aisle have been demonetized over the last few months, suggesting to me that it isn’t the specific content on the

        channels that the site cares about, but the amount of traffic they receive via ads and algorithms. It’s no secret at this point that @TeamYouTube gives preferential treatment to its multi-million subscriber channels, and is very happy to turn a blind eye to them as long as they..

        ..continue to get a cut of that sweet, sweet ad revenue. They don’t care what they say, or who they offend, as long as they are jusssst within its vague TOS. But where does that leave less popular channels then?

        Bottom line, YT is completely within it’s rights to demonetize someone for this type of shitty behavior, HOWEVER: the fallout of this Vox debacle is that because a handful of channels used YT as a platform to practice hate speech under the guise of “political talking points"..

        now every channel on the platform big or small will now have to avoid appearing anything like that banned content. This is where the waters become murky. What justifies “inappropriate content” to advertisers will now be taken into even greater consideration, putting more pressure

        on the platform to police itself. This call for ending hate speech is now being used as an excuse to demonetize even non-political channels like @RABtoons and @OtakuVs, while bigger channels continue to be untouched. This is back-handed bullshit that needs to stop immediately.

        It astounds me that @TeamYouTube can’t honestly tell the difference between hate-mongering assholes and talented creators just trying to make fun content. Or, we have to live in atheworld where they know these people are harmless, and they still choose to demonetize them anyway..

        ..because they aren't “advertiser-friendly”. TLDR: I feel like the entire fault of this mess lies squarely on @teamYouTubes shoulders. The vaguely worded TOS and the preferential treatment of high traffic channels via its horrific algorithms and connections have lead to creators

        ..who the rules simply don’t apply to, while other channels without the proper support to defend themselves are left out in the cold to suffer. You want to blame someone for this whole mess? @TeamYouTube is a good place to start.
