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...

I will henceforth stop calling that firm by name.
Its appropriate name is “GUULAG” (hat tip to The People’s Cube).
Facebook has been doing this for quite some time.
That is like the Soviets.
Which is backfiring.
Plus look for Google/YouTube to hear these famous words: “see you in court.”
Enough is enough. There need to be conservative alternatives—or effective pushback—for every one of these entities.
Oh no, not Hickock45.........eyeeeee
They started the censoring on a small scale, and kept increasing their Hand incrementally. Boiled Frog.
When oh when will wealthy populists create viable competitive alternatives?
They need their own hour long TV talk show, they are that good and entertaining.

“Demonetization” happens when you say ‘yes’ in your YouTube account, to allow Google to attach ads to your videos. It cost the videomaker nothing but time to make and upload a video.
It has been since Google acquired YouTube, during the time of Obama, that all this ‘ad stuff’ came up. I joined YouTube before Obama and the subsequent acquisition of YouTube by Google. With the videos I uploaded, i did not care for any ads to be attached. If i’m talking a political point, i didn’t want an ad for Depends attached, or some such thing. I was making and giving the videos and viewpoints freely, and was not out for money. No ads, no stick for Google to shake at me.
Since then, all this ‘see my Patreon account so i can continue to bring these videos’, is actually becoming a video u-no-what.
I’m saddened to hear that Diamond and Silk are being targeted. They are NOT the only ones having it fall upon them.
Google is sexist!
Just one more SCOTUS appointment and massive, left-leaning, monopolies that target anyone right of Marx and label them as the enemy... will be in for a very rough time.
If only Ginsberg would shuffle off...sigh
If anyone would pick up on it, it would be Sean Hannity or maybe Jesse Watters. Diamond and Silk were in-studio guests on both shows just last week.
Eff You Tube! Eff Google!
Bannon is right. The US govt. should take Google and Facebook.
Diamond and Silk are biological sisters. Interesting. I love them.
