Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

“No matter the political atmosphere, YouTube will continue to enable free expression on its platform, particularly as it relates to issues subject to political debate,” the letter read.

Which means "we will silently demonetise or algo-nerf anything mentioning queer content while boosting everything right wing"

Hope you all like watching "How to be a Sigma" and "Why the Wehrmacht was so effective" and "Former Green Beret analyzes 10 movie shootouts"

[–] Red_October@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago

Not to mention removing anything pro-Palestine or anything that goes against the U.S. narrative. Like Hakim’a Tiananmen Square video.

I have a cis guy friend who showed my jis yt recommends, and how they keep trying to radicalise him. Like, he can't opt-out of endlessly being recommened manosphere shit, and he hates it. But yt keeps doing it.

Hey, no one else gives a shit about eugenics.covid-cool

I mean why not at this point? YouTube's algorithm already tries to push a shit ton of reactionary content on me even though I watch leftist (or as left as YT will allow) and non-political stuff.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 11 points 5 days ago

Which is hilarious because chuds constantly claim YouTube is run by an evil cabal of leftist billionaires

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 14 points 5 days ago

~~Don't be evil.~~

Make things worse.

...to make up for the declining viewers because of the increased number of ads in the free version?

[–] BadTakesHaver@hexbear.net 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

youtube better not re-monitize destiny

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 10 points 4 days ago

Doubtful because he was demonetized at the insistence of chuds who YouTube is going out of their way to give everything to.

[–] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 10 points 5 days ago

I hate how you can't say certain words on YouTube in any context

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The comments on this everywhere else are littered with complaints about muh gubmint censorship in regards to the banning in the first place, focusing on how people got banned for saying it was caused by a Chinese lab leak.

[–] coolusername@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago

Lancet report says it was most likely leaked from a US lab

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago

Fuck it, as it did with my twitter, I'll delete my youtube account, maybe ill make a list of people to check in on and just be done with it
