Censorship isn’t a result of an open, free market, cap system. Getting an outrage mob to pressure a company to censor ideas is astroturfing and not capitalistic. Monopolies that have the power to demonetize and destroy the lives of content creators is the opposite of capitalism.

It’s very capitalistic, the consumers demand and the YouTube supplies.

I don't think consumers are demanding it. A few noisy people are demanding it, and because people at YouTube agree with those people, they capitulated. Still, I support people doing things with their platform, even if I disagree with what they're doing, and I do disagree with it.

Giving you the benefit of the doubt. YouTube wants to protects LGBTQ people, and as a company they are entitled to choices.

I disagree that silencing people protects anyone, but I also agree that they should be able to make that choice. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

He's not being silenced, he's being demonetized.

You are correct.
@gaywonk is escalating by saying that demonetization is not enough.@scrowder uses the videos to sell merch as well as advertise their streaming service. That's how this thread started and why we are discussing it.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

So while I can appreciate the factual accuracy of this statement, I don't think your acknowledging the broader implications of this move.

Considering what
@scrowder is doing, this is a light slap, his videos will probably get monetized again after a few weeks. I hope YouTube gives his what he deserves, he lies by misrepresenting statistics on climate change yet pretends that he’s The Rational.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

So for you this is personal. I think that most of you have a problem because you are insecure in your beliefs. The left and right both continually argue over how to best utilize the violence of the state and you can't stand that not everyone agrees with you.

My proposal is to stop utilizing violence to solve your problems. Once violence is no longer an acceptable solution to the broader population, we will become more creative & start living like free people instead of slaves to a monopolized corporation, government.
