The proof of it was when a woman, disgruntled over being demonetized, went into a YouTube office and fired a bunch of shots. Eh. Meh.
So what. GOOGLE owns YouTube and they can get all the employees they want. Besides, none of their employees was killed. The shooter turned the gun on herself and committed suicide.
Ha ha. So what. YouTube actually has a dozen lampoons of the woman, using her own content to mock her. Since she's not alive to file a DMCA on her own material, let's all laugh.
As previously mentioned, YouTube has a conservative blow-hard who has FOUR MILLION subscribers. Face it, if you're a Rush Limbaugh type, and spend your life sitting on your fat ass and bullying everybody, you can easily find millions of brainless redneck welfare cases to follow you and nod their heads over every pro-gun rant and holocaust denial.
The odd thing is that YouTube supposedly does NOT monetize channels that MIGHT get them bad publicity, or might get them in trouble with advertisers. Supposedly the big companies who advertise on YouTube don't want to alienate any customers. So WHICH ADVERTISERS ARE SPONSORING A CONSERVATIVE HATE MONGERER? The same ones who still sponsor various radio jackasses??
Thousands of good channels were demonetized for no reason anyone can figure out. One theorist believes it's because they don't want to bother paying a $100 or $500 to a thousand different people, when they can pay $10,000 a month to some blowhard being a junior Don Rickles and a major racist and sexist.
The gay community is riled up. So...listen you meanies, we might NOT let you MARCH in your PARADE! So THERE!
YouTube caved, slightly, by announcing that his bonehead bully was no longer being monetized. He would be spewing his hatred just for his own fame. Maybe giving links to where he might sell hate books, hate t-shirts, or a "Donate to Me With Paypal" button or a GOFUNDME link.
YouTube does not have straightforward policies. Like it's bastard mother, GOOGLE, it's "guess what we mean" and "hope we don't find a rule we think you've broken" and "we can make or break any rule and do anything we please."
Typical in their monetization game is to claim that the violation was some nebulous term that hasn't been defined.
Huh? What? Many sellers have gone to forums to declare "ALL my content is original. Can't they see that? How do I appeal? How can I get somebody to REALLY look at my channel?" Others say, "Most of my content is original. I have uploaded some public domain TV clips but mine are much sharper and clearer than any already on YouTube. Don't they see this? And what can I do if others instantly copy mine and upload to THEIR channel without me even knowing it?
This form email has been sent to thousands upon thousands of bewildered uploaders, some with 5,000 or 10,000 or more subscribers. The message is "keep uploading for free while WE monetize and put ads on your channel. We won't have an employee tell you which uploads are in violation. Our higher-up employees are all too busy getting front row concert tickets thanks to our six figure salaries, doing drugs and consorting with whores to care about you."
YouTube and GOOGLE have as twisted a view of "Freedom of Speech" as Julian Assange, or the jerks who pirate every movie, TV show and music album.
Even in the REAL WORLD "Freedom of Speech" has its limits. You can't stand on a soapbox and start shouting the N-word. It's disturbing the peace. Your fucking "Freedom of Speech" ends with everyone else's eyes and ears.
Private companies giving some asshole a platform to spew dangerous rhetoric aimed specifically at tormenting a specific ethnic or sexual group is just plain wrong. GOOGLE's CEO's really have only one defense to it: they are greedy swine who would rather take drugs and bring whores onto their yachts than spend that same money on hiring five or six minimum wagers who'd respond to red-flags on obviously illegal content and hate speech that could get someone killed.
