    I'd rather derive income from crowdfunding than censorious tech giants or unethical corporations. The old models are falling apart in real-time. New model: people pay directly for stuff if they find value in it. Seems reasonable: https://patreon.com/mtracey https://www.paypal.me/mctracey

        I don't explicitly solicit funds often because I know it can come across as obnoxious. But today illustrates why independent sources of revenue are so crucial. Otherwise, journalists / analysts get subsumed into the corporate outrage blob. And you wonder why media is so horrible?

        Q: if a content producer using the new model makes a bunch of anti-gay remarks & 90% of their patrons pull their money, basically putting them out of business, is that an instance of "censorship"? If not, what distinguishes that scenario from YouTube "de-platforming"?

        Or in other words, when patrons sanction a creator, it's economic violence done between peers. When Youtube sanctions a creator, it's economic violence perpetrated by the privileged against the underclass.

        It will be interesting to see the government response to this new model. Lots of industries could try to go this route. Some that are heavily regulated and would almost be able to avoid regulation.

        Not really a new model, Sam Seders been doing it for awhile so I’ve been directly paying them for their show.

        They already do that, they primarily target sex workers/NSFW artists, I know they got Defense Distributed too. They're not as bad as some companies but they're still pretty bad.

        For sure. But if YouTube is making money off your work, ethically you deserve your share. YouTube is a great platform that performs flawlessly. But they shouldn't just act like you ain't getting my views. Do you get any of my YouTube red money
