Google/YouTube sucks
I often post responses in comment threads on YouTube. Recently there have been a few that have been deleted after I posted them. I’m careful enough to not be aggressive or confrontational. I also know that, unfair that it is, there are certain topics one can’t address in a censorious forum (eg. the Hunter Biden laptop, negative side effects from the so-called “vaccine).
What follows is a comment regarding podcasts as valid news sources. I’ve posted it at least three times and each time it disappears down the Soviet propaganda hole.
Of course, there’s an election coming up so the leftist communication monopoly is on their toes weeding out stray thoughts.
My comment follows:
I've attempted to post the following response a couple of times but our guardians delete/censor it.
Nothing I've written is aggressive, big tech just doesn't want anyone straying from the party line. Apparently a few verboten references that don't reflect well on the power structure have tipped off the dishonest algorithms at this giant government aligned leftist corporation.
The following is my original attempt with some editing:
News is information. Both establishment news sources and podcasts are to some degree forums for ideas. The difference is that establishment media dispenses quick heavily edited snippets and nowadays is clearly partisan and allied with government propaganda. Podcasts offer a variety of viewpoints. Some of them may be "disinformation" but at least one can find out if "the _ is real" or "the [thing many people were forced to get] had potentially dangerous _ effe_. Legacy media now goes out of its way to lie by omission, distort, and rally the Jacobin faithful to a narrow political philosophy. There are actually people who fancy themselves rebels and free thinkers while supporting powerful established institutions. It has nothing to do with "drinking kool-aid” or being "in a cult."
