Do all or even most youtubers produce such material? Probably no, but when they do, who condemns them? When marginalized people are subject to coarse racial abuse in your livestreams, how much support do they ever see from your mods?

Having been such a person, I know how much support I've seen - none. Not once has a youtube mod given one of the white supremacists or neo-Nazis on the site a timeout, no matter how abusive they got toward me or any other Jew or non-European in the chat I ever saw post.

But I've been silenced repeatedly, just for talking back to the racists pouring abuse out onto me. When I'd merely laugh at them, I'd get silenced, and in this, I am far from being alone.

Yet here you guys are, hats in hand (figuratively speaking), saying "it's awful, it's awful, Youtube is being crazy and they're demonetizing and shutting down our accounts without cause.", asking people like me to care.

Tell us why we should do that. What do we have at stake? What's in it for us?

I'll miss the ambient sleep videos, at least until I can find them somewhere else, but Mr. Pool (
@Timcast), why should I care about you or for the rest of a community that has repeatedly shown a willingness to throw people like me to the wolves, just for s.hits and giggles?1 reply 1 retweet 0 likes -

You might say that Jews are a small group whose righteous anger can safely be ignored. Perhaps it can, though I wouldn't advise you to take that attitude with you into a courtroom, but Tim, you KNOW it's not just us.

Youtube is the site when I saw people in the comments on a video discussing the merits of killing women for their meat. This is not an edgy joke. That was a real discussion. Happened on an Angry MGTOW video. Unusual in degree, but not in kind.

Real Misogyny (not to be confused with mere politcal incorrectness) is definitely a thing on Youtube, real heart of darkness stuff. Are you going to pretend that you never noticed? Kind of hard to miss the incels, Tim. They're all over the place.

Women are not a tiny little group. Then there's the treatment of Black people (who I've heard called "jungle apes"), Native Americans, people of Middle Eastern and North African descent, and people who, unlike Jose, really are Latinos and Latinas. It gets coarse.

You want to say that the first amendment gives one a right to be coarse, crude and offensive? I'm sure it does. But it doesn't give anybody a right to turn a profit by being so.

The advertisers did nothing wrong by backing away from the thought of having their ad copy appear next to content that makes the output of Richard Spencer look like the life's work of Dr. Martin Luther King, by comparison.

Your community, perhaps, could have saved its as.s by distancing itself from the hatemongers on its site, but it never did that. Except, maybe, for Steve Shives, the guy you all seem to love to hate for reasons I really don't need to know.
