Steven Crowder is an unfunny blowhard, but Carlos Maza is professional adult journalist employed by a major media organization -- not some kid being bullied on a playground. The idea that YouTube needs to "protect" him is ridiculous and infantilehttps://spectator.us/steven-crowder-carlos-maza-playground/ …

If you're a public figure, like Maza, you simply have to expect ridicule: including the kind of buffoonish, demeaning ridicule Crowder specializes in. It comes with the territory. Your aversion to mean insults doesn't entitle you to dictate what speech is permitted on YouTube

Turning the tech companies -- who were never supposed to be active arbiters of speech, just facilitators of it -- into functionaries of the government and the elite media, with all the political baggage that entails, is extremely dangerous. If you can't see that, you're a moron

Crowder and Maza feed off each other in a perverse way. They're both invested in stoking petty online culture war battles, because it's good for their respective "brands." If these are the types of people elevated to the top of the contemporary media hierarchy, we're 100% screwed

Compare Stewart, Colbert & Oliver to Mort Saul, Lenny Bruce or George Carlin, go ahead, I dare ya. Maza is a calculating political hack who's scorch earth tactics is ruining it for everyone. How does Crowder even rate any criticism, even if his humor is juvenile?

See what it's like watching two grownups do this shit online? That's how I felt recently when two online personalities I care very much about hearing out went at it on Twitter. Sure, you both had a point. A personal one. It makes some of us uncomfortable. I always say News First.

also, I want to know what you know, and how you feel, but one first, then the other. We got in trouble in Journalism for mixing the two or transposing the order. After about fifty or so mock broadcasts on a CCTV net, you get the hang of it. At least that's how we did it.

And I can see what both of them are doing. One, is making a point by mocking a political site(vox) I understand that, because SNL does that also. What Vox is doing, I understand also. Because it's what our saviors think is for our own good. Ignored nuance is their weapons

If Mr. Crowder was unable to adhere to YouTube's Terms of Service, he should not have voluntarily agreed thereto

He has every right to speak his mind and get YouTube to look at their policies. He's not forcing YouTube to do something they won't do. Why are we treating YouTube like a teenager ?
