Two of President Trump’s most ardent supporters, the YouTube stars known as Diamond and Silk, say a financial stranglehold has been placed on their videos.
Lynnette Hardway and Rochelle Richardson of North Carolina, whose support of Mr. Trump and no-nonsense delivery during the 2016 U.S. presidential season turned them into online sensations, said Thursday their YouTube videos have become casualties of the company’s attempt to silence “extremism.”
“@YouTube @TeamYouTube stopped over 95% percent of our videos from being monetized, stating: ‘It’s Not Suitable For All Advertisers,’” the two said in a series of tweets. “Wonder if @YouTube @TeamYouTube stopped the monetization of our videos because we are loyal supporters of the @POTUS. Hummmm. Sounds like Censorship...

Time for conservatives to step up and start their own video service.

Agreed but in addition YouTube needs to be sued over bias just as sure as Google is going to be sued over firing the memo guy.

Diamond and Silk rip YouTube, say 95% of videos demonetized over Trump support Google is a monopoly that needs to be crushed to paste with massive anti-trust prosecutions. They also need to be prosecuted for breaking other state and federal laws.

Liberalism has become Fascism. Look at Google’s action against it own employee. Look at the rampant college campuses. Look at the action taken to destroy FoxNews. The left has no intellectual ability to debate so all they can do is shut you up.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Hannity got on this like a dog with a bone. Diamond and Silk are on his show often. I truly believe they were almost critical in bringing in the black voters for Trump.

It's true.....I subscribe to many air rifle channels and there's one guy who reviews both rifles and scopes and posts his hunting videos. YouTube has defunded him by blocking his advertisers and subsequent revenues.
They're slowly doing that to all firearms related channel providers..........

YouTube has been assimilated into the Google collective consciousness and, thus, it is hardcore Leftist. Conservatives need to start a Conservative alternative to LeftTube.

Pretty brazen act by Youtube/Google.
Leaning on a couple of black ladies and impacting their ability to earn a living....
That is a shameful act by Youtube/Google.
Shame on Eric Schmidt.
