YouTube CRACKS DOWN on Diamond and Silk => Demonetizes 95% of Their Videos ‘For Supporting Trump’
Gateway Pundit ^ | 8/10/2017 | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 08/10/2017 8:31:15 PM PDT by simpson96

“@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 to us, which is a Violation of our First Amendment. A Bias Method used to Silence our Conservative Voices. @YouTube, how was it OK to monetize our videos for the past two years and now those same videos are no longer eligible for monetization?”

The popular duo has 89,000 subscribers on YouTube and another 361,000 on Twitter.

News of the largely demonetized channel comes less than two weeks since the company announced plans to fight inappropriate content.

“We’ll soon be applying tougher treatment to videos that aren’t illegal but have been flagged by users as potential violations of our policies on hate speech and violent extremism,” the company announced Aug. 1 on its official blog. “If we find that these videos don’t violate our policies but contain controversial religious or supremacist content, they will be placed in a limited state. The videos will remain on YouTube behind an interstitial, won’t be recommended, won’t be monetized, and won’t have key features including comments, suggested videos, and likes.”

They can't stomach any voicing of opinion that is even slightly different from their SJW ideology.

It was bound to happen sooner or later.

This why Trump has a 30% approval rsting. The left controls everything that matters and shapes public opinion. The media, the internet, academia. All left. All people here is negative stuff on Trump. People may say they dont trust the media, but the believe everything they hear from it.

People have no clue on the jobs situation improving dramatically. But the do “know” Trump conspired with Russia to steal the election and that he is a racist.

I knew Trump was going to have a tough go at it. Everyone with power and influence is against him. Even some in his own cabinet and othe appointees. But I never realized the situation would be this hopeless.

Many YouTubers are demonetized now. It started with a false article by the Wall Street Journal, YouTube advertisers bolted on the story and then YouTube started demonetizing vids.

Many YouTubers now going to requests for viewer contributions.

Well; there might be one way to shake up youtube .. stap paying them .. and when they want to know why .. you can explain that their treatment of Diamond and Silk is just not reasonable, and therefore we’re out of here.

Youtube has all kinds of videos of disgusting behavior and stolen copyright material plus has supporters of terrorism yet they are still there. I guess google must have missed those.

There is DailyMotion, and there will be others. Google will soil their nest—just a matter of time.

They aren’t nearly as diverse as they pretend to be...
