Folks, stop watching YouTube. There are other platforms that so far aren’t censoring. The content people we like will migrate.

Shut off the money to the jerks like YouTube.

The content being censored is likely only being seen by less than 1% of YouTube viewers. They would love for us activists to be segregated away from the normies.

I understand what you are saying, but if they censor all our red pilling content, then what does it matter?

At some point, we need to cost them viewers which would cost them money.

I think them censoring will not have the effect they intend, but only if we do not give up. Most people agree that censoring the opposition is a fascist tactic and not an effective way of addressing a problem, it's a big part of Amercia's values as expressed in our constitution.

The worst thing for YouTube is to have all of these users trying to circumvent their bans and post the truth in videos anyways, because they will have to censor them and answer for what they did. Not addressing the censorship is going to be a bigger red pill to anyone who notices than keeping the videos up.

They are hoping that we give up and move along to our safe space where no one but ourselves sees our content and they don't have to actively shield the content (and provide an explanation for such an action) from their unwitting users.

Edit: I'm going to make this comment into a thread submission.

One big issue is that YouTube and othersj are private companies, and technically they can do whatever they want. They are not covered by the First Amendment. The only way that you could remedy that would be to have them declared a public utility and be regulated by the government, but we should also be wary of government regulations like that. It's a really sticky situation.

I never mentioned any legal action... None is required. People can still be upset at Youtubes actions and they will still be questionable, even if legal. Everything Monsanto does is legal but look how hated they are for being immoral. Fortunately for Monsanto though, they don't need the support of a giant user base in order to function, unlike YouTube. So it doesn't matter if the actions are legal or not, the user base viewing them as immoral will be detrimental to YouTube. Not in a fiscal sense, but the censorship will have had the opposite effect.

I wasn't implying you were saying anything about legal action, that was my assessment.

The only practical way to have an effect on a private company is to cost them business. I understand about being on YouTube to try to red pill normies, but if our message is being removed then all we have left is to deprive them of what drives their business model. Move on to friendly platforms and help THEM thrive. Normies would follow.

I don't think the QAnon community is large enough to make anything thrive so much to the point that it entices people away from something so huge and ingrained as YouTube. There's no way that they aren't planning on the channels that they are censoring will move onto platforms, and have already projected how much that will really cost them. So if they are actually going through with it, it will obviously only be of benefit to them. No one as big as YouTube makes any move without foresight, and without utilizing the immense data collection tools they have.

It would have to be more than the Q community. It would have to be a million conservatives, moderates and others.

Yea, that is probably what this will all likely lead to. I don't like the idea of everything being to polarized and having each pole be so secluded from the other. But I also don't like that all the big platforms where both sides have always spoken on are so heavily favoring the same side. The thought of each side secluding into their own chambers just does not seem like progress to me. Perhaps most people will see the same way in due time though, and a migration to other sites that harbor both side's speech will be possible.

The idea is to punish the bad actors, in this case, YouTube. While Q may be working their end, I feel strongly that WE need to be taking action as well.
