YouTuber Demonetized Hours after Rush Limbaugh Reads Her Article on His Show
PJ Media ^ | 10/06/2017 | Megan Fox

Posted on 10/07/2017 10:49:13 AM PDT by ForYourChildren

On the same day that Rush Limbaugh read my recent column on air, YouTube — in the dead of night — demonetized a large percentage of videos on my channel. My YouTube channel has been around for years with many recordings of very boring village meetings highlighting local Chicago-area corruption. Recently, I started doing reaction videos and comedy and gained a bunch of new subscribers and it's been fun. I don't swear (certainly no "F" words) and there's nothing really controversial unless you count making fun of gender-confused rabid leftists with blue hair "controversial."

Yesterday, October 5, after Rush read my article on his show, I made a video that included my reaction to him talking about it on the air. It wasn't up for three hours before my videos started getting the dreaded yellow dollar signs — which means YouTube just took away my ability to be paid for them. YouTube made sure that whatever bump in subscribers or views I got from Rush would not benefit me in any way.

YouTube decided that a video discussing Rush — who broadcasts every day and is paid obscene amounts of money by advertisers — is not "advertiser-friendly." This would be news to Rush's entire staff who are making a living off his advertiser-friendly show that the FCC has allowed for over twenty years.

YouTube has been going after politically conservative content creators for a long time. ..

YouTube is a video-sharing website headquartered in San Bruno, California, United States. The service was created by three former PayPal employees in February 2005. In November 2006, it was bought by Google for US$1.65 billion. YouTube now operates as one of Google’s subsidiaries.

YOU TUBE their decisions based no more/no less than decisions made by Bakers and photographers and wedding events. Why government steps in to snap the hands of one side yet not the other?

It was thought when TWITTER was introduced that Facebook might amend its policy. Now they are two horses in the same barn.

YOU TUBE needs some competition. IMMEDIATELY! (period)

YouTube parent - Alphabet (better known as Google - has consistently (for years) done massive lobbying in Congress, and directly with Obama and his FCC, extolling the necessity for “net neutrality”, arguing that some players were so big in the Internet world how they do and don’t allow Internet traffic had to be regulated or the little guy wouldn’t stand a chance.

Meanwhile, Google NEVER was practicing what it preached - “net neutrality”, and now is acting as the de fact Big Brother censor - exactly what Google argued the telecoms would do if they weren’t regulated.

I think it is time Google became the de facto public utility it wanted the telecoms to become, and with that get TRUE net neutrality regulated into what it can and cannot do, so the little guy is not silenced just because Google doesn’t like their view.

Google has become too large and very powerful. It would be good for regulators to examine this company to see if it can be made into smaller companies to be less of a problem.

Considering their extreme left wing political activism, they are not conducive to a democratic society.

Many years ago Limbaugh referenced something I sent him as well.

I know this because back in the day I (1) knew his fax number which he rarely gave out and (2) likely the reason he rarely gave it out was because at that time he used his Mac to receive faxes and there was some bug so that when he received a fax the printer had to be manually halted or it would keep spitting out paper ... something he may have mentioned only once on the air but which I and others listening right then heard. He also indicated, at least at that time, that he was the one stopping the printer.

I used this knowledge on a number of occasions because it increased the odds that he would see his faxes. Especially if, I reasoned, they were legibly hand written.

So, one day it had been revealed that Bill Clinton’s campaign had taken money from pornographers and he’d been asked if he was going to return the money. Clinton gave some cryptic reason about refusing some money causing other money to have more influence that had folks flummoxed. I realized he was talking about money given to opposing candidates, not himself, and faxed that in.

After a few minutes Rush referenced having recieved an explanation, just not by name.

So congratulations to this lady, especially the by name recognition, and I’m sorry she has to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous Commiecrats, militant Poofters and other so-called progressives.

When YouTube started going after channels for firearms related content, someone started up the site Full 30.

It’s struggling.

Trump needs to go after Pichai and Porat who run Google and Youtube the way KLINTOON went after Gates and Microsoft over “Internet Explorer” until Gates got the hint and started paying protection money to the democrats.

These people want to get into a war they will find one.

I presume this means Google is no longer running ads on her channel.

I agree. Congress needs to look into this. Google thinks it’s untouchable.

That’s the absolute wrong way to deal with the problem; the proper way has to do with enforcing the Constitution.
