YouTube’s new ad strategy: Hide and filter conservative channels
RedAlertPolitics ^ | 04/06/2017 | Christian Spencer

YouTube is addressing a corporate boycott: Advertising sponsors are withdrawing ads, but the solution involves disproportionately censoring channels that are not politically correct, specifically anything remotely conservative.

Google AdSense, a program enabling YouTube publishers to receive ad revenue from corporate sponsors, caused titan corporations like AT&T, Verizon, Starbucks, Wal-Mart, Pepsi, and several others to pull their advertising from YouTube because their ads reportedly are premiering on channels with terroristic and hateful content.

In an effort to comply with corporate demands, YouTube has secretly enforced their restricted mode to hide age-inappropriate content, shield comments from all videos, and allow third-party media firms to evaluate which channels and videos should receive ad revenue. But it appears much of the content caught in this censorship sweep are conservative channels.

It’s hitting gun channels too. Many or most will die on the vine.

One thing you can be assured of is that the Nazis at Google will always aid dictators. Google proved that when they gave the ChiComms the addresses of the Falun Gong resistance.

Google’s motto: “Do no evil” is complete bullsh*t.

The Nazi pigs at Google will betray every American at every opportunity.

Lock ‘n load.

“Solution: Start an alternative to Youtube.”

Temporary solution. Google, YT, Twitter didn’t start out that way. They, like the rest, get swallowed up by the PC machine or forced to conform. Creators cash in, mainstream media types take control.

What happened:

WSJ reporters went to major online advertisers, Pepsi, etc., presenting screen-captures of some videos, telling the companies concerned, “Did you know your products were advertised on YouTube videos containing the N WORD..?”

Rightfully the companies were shocked and admonished YouTube to do something about it.

Here’s the important part:

The different screen captures of the supposedly offending videos ALL featured exactly the same view count/thumbs up/thumbs down:

—> AN IMPOSSIBILITY < —

This whole hush campaign basically represents an attempt by Old Media to stifle the New Media they can’t compete with.

WSJ didn’t even

what can people with YouTube accounts do..?

1. For video-makers you really like, note there is a little BELL icon. Push it one time for that maker; that tells Google you want to be informed EVERY TIME that maker comes out with a new video. Picture this action as being like “subscribing two times”.

2. Sign the petition to boycott companies currently boycotting YouTube. I checked yesterday and the petition still had only something like 800 signatures.

Do you consider Pew Die-Pie a right-wing extremist..?

How about Phillip DeFranco..?

It’s like saying Lindsay Graham is in the Waffen SS —RIDICULOUS.

Yet that is exactly where this is going.

Legacy Media sees the onslaught of consumer choice and they have decided to DESTROY IT:

You WILL enjoy ABC news. You WILL enjoy Matlock re-runs. ALL DAY, every day.
