YouTube Is Shutting Down My Channel and I'm Not Sure What To Do

1. I'm not familiar with this guy but the kind of censorship he's talking about is very concerning.

Corporations would love to have more control over the internet and the information being presented, and more and more people are gravitating to a few large services (Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.) for nearly all of their internet usage. This can lead to a handful of large corporations controlling the message like they do with other major media.

2. They're not shutting down his channel,

they're killing his ad revenue. He's controversial. A libertarian, MRA, supported GamerGate. He's a prick who says terrible things who is now crying foul because he won't be getting paid for it.

Fuck him.

[mdbl]

3. Agreed!

He's an idiot.

4. Yikes!

I don't have any controlled substances that would make watching this idiot a tolerable experience.

5. a mra/gamer gater with a victim complex?

you don't say....

[Dr Hobbitstein]

6. White men are SOOOOO oppressed.

7. Really? I watched a few of his videos and didn't find him very controversial.

Here's his latest on the Anthony Weiner scandal

8. He's a dick. He's not being censored.

He's losing ad revenue for being a dick.

Here he is pushing the "corruption in gaming media" bullshit.

Fuck him.

[SecularMotion]

9. I don't see where he's being a dick about anything

Do you have some personal or financial interests here?

His videos aren't extreme or offensive. I don't see the justification for your attacks.

I've never watched him before and wouldn't subscribe to his channel, but his opinions seem reasonable.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

10. That says a LOT about you. Nt

[SecularMotion]

11. Now you're attacking me?

I find your responses very puzzling.

There is nothing in the videos to support your attacks.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

12. He was giving credibility to gamergate.

He actually said "ethics in gaming journalism is a problem". Gamergate was about sexism, not ethics in journalism.

[SecularMotion]

13. He's right.

Lack of ethics in journalism is a huge problem.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

14. That was code for "female game developers are sleeping with game journalists".

And he gave it credibility. The whole gamergate was sexist rants against female developers with claims they were sleeping with journalists who gave them good ratings. He's trying to imply an equal sides thing here.

Bullshit. The gamergate fucks doxed and issued death threats against many women in gaming.

[SecularMotion]

15. I don't see him taking sides on gamergate or any issues.

On the whole, he seems to offer reasonable opinions. He seems to be center-left or liberal although it's hard to discern from the videos. He's definitely not an extremist and I don't sense any chauvinism or sexism in his rants. Your anger with him seems misdirected.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

16. He was saying both sides have equal points.

They do not. One side was being overtly sexist, and the other was being bullied by the blatant sexism.

He was LEGITIMIZING the gamergaters by saying they had a good point.

[Mosby]

17. and he should lose ad revenue for that?

wow.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

18. Yes. nt

[romanic]

19. Oh no he doesn't like Queen Anita!

A lot of gamers don't, doesn't make him a dick. -_-

[Dr Hobbitstein]

20. "Queen Anita"??

Sexist tripe.

[romanic]

21. Whatever.

[jmowreader]

22. I hate people who cut their videos so the words overlap, like this guy does
