YouTube has now de-monetized ALL videos by Paul Joseph Watson.
As a fig-leaf to political motives, YouTube took this measure at the same time they also de-monetized all videos by Louis Farrakhan.
PJW joins a long line of YouTube creators having fallen out of favor, like Milo Yiannopoulis, Steven Crowder and an Austin-based broadcaster and advocate of traditional sex roles for amphibians (who cannot be named, per FreeRepublic rules).
Because such YouTube creators played significant roles in getting Donald Trump elected, there is speculation this measure has been taken in preparation for the 2020 elections. Such measures would cut into favorable re-election coverage for President Trump.
Other YouTube creators have also been banned simply for talking about the people who have been banned.
The screen capture below features part of the YouTube notice Watson received. It indicates Watson has been placed on a YouTube creator list including human traffickers, mass murderers and terrorists:
Just like Bakers can kick an occasional customer from his/her service...
Oh wait, Bakers have to serve EVERYBODY.
Facebook can ban thousands, potentially millions.
Me too. His videos are the best.
I have posted this before...
Facebook, YouTube, Google, Twitter and Amazon must die. They will decide the next election.
Sad. Paul is brilliant.
Breitbart is more influential than Youtube for elections.
Youtube is just a bunch of ignorant programmers who make millions and scold people like teenagers. I know a few who work there and acknowledge their genius and their huge inferiority complexes. Just like spoiled Hollywood celebrities. Spoiled, bossy and powerless.
Last election: *IRS* was editor/censor
This eleciton: YouTube, FaceBook acts as censors
We now live in an illicit state as the Dems now attempt to gin up charges against Trump and install a fascist government that is beset on trying to destroy us all.
It is time to fight back.
Stop using YouTube and google altogether along with Facebook.
Demonetize THEM.
Demand Financial Neutrality and halt banks and credit orocesssors from restricting the flow of dollars based upon their political whims.
To arms my friends.
Youtube is run and owned by the commie pukes at Google which to me should be regulated by the FCC, but then again it absolutely baffles me why anyone would make a video for a website they don’t even own and a website that rips them off. Hello pal, but you are creating content for free for a website owned by a multi-BILLION dollar company, a website that does NOTHING but offer free video storage and they profit off the viewers YOU bring to them!
Unbelievable.
PJW is a treasure.
This is not good. I expect it will get much worse.
Regulate big tech like utilities. Otherwise break them up as illegal monopolies.
More than HALF of all vids by Tim Pool have been demonetized this month alone, simply because his news stories include terms like, “New Zealand mosque attack” and “Poway Synagogue Shooting”.
Yes, you cannot even SAY those words on YouTube..!

Who is going to stop them, though? The courts are on their side, and the cowards in Congress do nothing more than meaningless hearings.
Is he on Patreon?
Dems getting ready for the Election , banning people from ballots , youtube , facebook etc etc etc
That was my first thought, too. 2020 campaign season has truly kicked off.

You are whistling past the graveyard. A large segment of the under 30 population spends a great deal of their day on youtube. This attack will have real consequences for 2020.
That is why they did it.
