@gaywonk’s videos on @voxdotcom are well done and informative.
Regardless of whatever criteria. It’s a human making videos. The rest doesn’t matter.
Even if the videos were bad, criticizing the host instead of the content only shifts the attention from the problem they question.
I’m really stupefied by @Google’s @TeamYouTube recent actions (or should I say lack of action?). Sadly not surprised.
@YouTube has been working against the #LGBTQ community as well as ‘unconventional’ creators in general for years now, despite their ‘pro-inclusivity’ campaigns.

I see more and more
@YTCreators getting censored or demonetized. Like@WattsTheSafewrd for example, making great and much needed#SexEducation content. Or artsy channels, we’re@YouTube mixes nudity with sexuality as if it was the same thing.Show this thread -
It is clear now that
@Google’s interest is not to support creators, the ones that take risks, creating real original content. But rather securing its revenues by only allowing flat, smooth, low-value, manufactured, fast-food content. Appealing to the masses, and the advertisers.Show this thread -
I wish
@YouTube was a platform where original and creative ideas could thrive, be discussed, debated, shared and featured equally with care and love. The fear of@Google’s own#LGBTQ employees to speak up freely just speaks for itself.@TeamYouTube’s policies are just smoke.Show this thread -
So after what happened in the past days, I took the decision to go one step further:
#LeaveYouTube one and for all. I think@YouTube does not deserve to make any more profits with my data or views.@Google lost my trust and failed to comply with its own motto: “Don’t be evil”.Show this thread -
What about me? I’m going through every single channel I was following, hoping they are posting their content elsewhere. And there are alternatives, like
@joinpeertube just to name one of them. I just grab the#RSS feed, add it to my#RSSReader#bot, and voilà!Show this thread -
To the creators: don’t let
@YouTube/@Google/@TeamYouTube or anyone else use you, your content, your influence and your image to make profits and then stab you in the back.Show this thread -
Let’s start questioning the choices we make as a user or a customer, questioning if we agree or not on how things work backstage. I’d like to finish with a quote: “If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself, and make a change.” (
@DCBatman said that)pic.twitter.com/U4zUFF1wH6Show this thread -
Still astonished by
@Google’s response and behavior. The company is now saying the protest of its own employees “is a violation of [its] communications policy, a part of the company code of conduct”.@NoPrideForGoog just published this
have a look.https://link.medium.com/2stF7xp5PX Show this thread
