It would definitely be difficult but it would help youtubers if they had clearer guidelines. Right now it seems that they are intentionally vague so that they can maintain appearances as an open platform while quietly suppressing anything they don't like.

well, it's hard to have those guidelines. how do you tell the difference between someone who actually believes what they're saying and someone who's just trying to provoke someone else?

Replying to @lukemburgess @KeeganFuhs and
do you think the Westboro Baptist Church actually believes the things they say? or is it more likely they're trying to provoke others into violence? i mean think about it "God hates you." that's the completely opposite message of the bible. do they actually believe that?pic.twitter.com/Y468tO79c6

Well the guidelines could just say that neither is allowed. Of course no rules will cover every scenario, but the point I'm trying to make is that youtube has a pattern of suppressing conservatives who don't violate any of their rules and then denying that they are doing it.

They do have guidelines. I'm talking about is the people who don't violate any of these rules who still have their content demonitized, removed from search results, or suppressed in some way. Ostensibly because of their political views because that is the only commonality.

i need an example. but right off the bat, i'd guess removed or demonetized content that doesn't technically violate the rules are veiled attempts to provoke someone in one way or another.

There's lots of examples, but recently I think the channel LouderwithCrowder is a clear example. He was demonetized and his videos removed, until winning a lawsuit and having them reinstated, despite no instances of breaking those guidelines.

I'm watching Dice's video again now. Pretend you're a space alien and have absolutely no skin in the game...you're watching all this from a completely outside perspective. What I'm hearing is "ha ha ha, the president is listening to me, not you...i'm winning, you're losing."

doesn't that seem a bit childish?

Yes, and I'm not trying to defend anyone's behavior. But it's not hateful or in violation of any rules. Youtube can either be an open platform for creators or a biased publisher of certain political views. They can't be both is what I'm saying.
