YouTube fail: It made a 'Let’s Go Brandon' go massively viral
American Thinker ^ | 24 Oct, 2021 | Andrea Widburg

The tech tyrant attacked the song for alleged medical misinformation and the uproar boosted the song into the stratosphere.

Bryson Gray, a rapper and Trump supporter, recorded a rap song called “Let’s Go Brandon” (not to be confused with Loza Alexander’s hip-hop chart-topping “Let’s Go Brandon” song). Gray’s song was doing well on the charts so, two days ago, YouTube figured out a way to remove it. It claimed that the song contains medical misinformation. Aside from being untrue, YouTube managed to take the song from being well-ish-known and turned it into a massive hit. Talk about a censorship fail.

To be honest, because I’m not a fan of rap, I hadn’t heard of Bryson Gray before now. This is an important point because I’m not the only one. But thanks to Google/YouTube’s heavy-handed censorship, a lot of people who’d never heard of the song made a point to buy it, pushing it into the musical stratosphere.

SNIP

If you go to Gray’s online store, you can find all sorts of MAGA and Christian gear. He’s a Second Amendment supporting, clean living, no swearing, America loving rapper. What’s not to like? Well, if you’re YouTube, the thing not to like is a song wrapped around the “Let’s Go Brandon” meme.

Very quickly, if you’ve been locked away from the media for a couple of weeks, “Let’s Go Brandon” came into being when Brandon Brown unexpectedly won a NASCAR race and was being interviewed by an NBC reporter. In the stands behind him, the “Eff Joe Biden” chant broke out. The reporter, no doubt thinking she was cleverly protecting Joe, said, “You can hear the chants from the crowd, ‘Let’s go, Brandon’....” And so, a clean meme was born. (I’ve even got the t-shirt.)

When the parody becomes more popular than the truth, the truth becomes the lie.

The right has learned to turn the left's favorite weapon back against them....passive aggressiveness!

#RustyIrony The Roman Empire was openly hostile to the early Christian church, and sought to censor it… yet the social stability and wide reach of the empire allowed Paul and the other apostles to spread the Gospel message far and wide… to eventually overcome the hostility and convert the Western world. BigTech today is much like the Roman empire of old… openly hostile to the Christian faith, yet its wordwide reach allows the Gospel message to spread in much the same way. Such is why I don’t believe we should abandon social media… that’s where the lost are, starting at the very billionaire top. A small but IMHO maybe significant example here: YouTube censors Christian rapper’s “Let’s Go Brandon”… with just the opposite of the desired effect. #RustyIrony #2 on iTunes.

I hate to be a sore tooth - no, wait, I’m totally ok with it, so here goes: There’s something really grim about all this. Everybody’s like “Hey, the Left hates B1den, too!” No, they just like chanting.

They’ll all run out to vote for him again if he runs again, or someone even more loathsome. And even if their votes don’t amount to a hill of beans, he’ll win again.

If we don’t do something to stop election fraud, we will never have a fair election in the USA again. It might possibly be, in fact, that even given everything that we might do to ensure a fair electoral process, we are going to get screwed again anyway. Let’s go Brandon. Yeah, that’s a lot of comfort.

Our nation’s survival faces two threats. One is critical and urgent. The other is critical and not-urgent.

Election fraud is critical and likely the most important treat.

Schools ( pre-K through university) will also destroy our nation. Unlike election fraud the indoctrination of the next generation is like a fungus eating at our foundation.

If I may be so immodest as to re-post from yesterday:

“On the other hand, U Toob has made the most powerful move possible in marketing the song.”

You’re decades late with that assessment, I’m afraid. The damage has already been done. It’s now getting worse, so schools too are critical & urgent.
