Scam alert. 

We all know that Google and YouTube have been censoring the information they lord over for quite some time now.  It’s pretty well established by now that search engine results have become just another act of election interference. Added to this, there has been obvious deletion or “shadowbanning” of political views that tech-leftists don’t like.  Sometimes they try to justify their dishonesty with proclamations that they are weeding out “hate speech,” or phony claims that one has failed to abide by “community standards.” The same standards clearly don’t apply to more favored expressions. 

On Youtube comment threads I make a point of not typing anything that could even vaguely be interpreted as threatening or overly aggressive. I’ll occasionally refer to public figures as clowns — something that hardly warrants deletion. I often see comments from the left that are pretty aggressive.  I typically don’t bother responding to those. (I’ve gotten pretty sarcastic on this blog but use a higher standard on YouTube comments).

YouTube has a new trick up its partisan censorious sleeve. It seems fairly random and notably not based on any comments that can be considered questionable.  Their criteria appears to be directed solely at conservatism and pro-Trump comments.  Not only do comments occasionally disappear (sometimes immediately upon posting), but replies to other’s comments (again, respectful and nonconfrontational) will often disappear. I’ve literally had comments reappear after typing a complaint about the initial deletion (!)  And, here’s a real trippy thing they do: I’ve posted a reply to a comment and upon looking at the original comment, where it states the number of replies, it may say “three replies” (for example) when mine is clearly a fourth reply.

I’m not the only one who has picked up on this. It’s clearly common.  This comment manipulation is clearly no longer an

"algorithm" thing.

Now, when I post a comment, I copy it so if it disappears, I can express the same sentiment somewhere else  (like the GAB site) just so I don’t feel that’ve been completely silenced.

There are enough of us experiencing this that it will eventually become more widely noted and blogs can promote boycotts of any products or services advertised on YouTube.  That would be a just response.

Much of social media has become just another gatekeeper in the leftist — Democrat — industrial complex.  So, now we have public schools, universities, corporate “journalism,” social media, NGOs, and unelected government bureaucrats all united in the goal of keeping the public blind to their eventual enslavement.

This blog isn’t particularly far-reaching but, along with others of like mind, lets subject the evil monolith at Google to the same anti DEI boycotts that helped to diminish Bud Light’s bottom line.

If you’re a real capitalist, serve the customer and not the latest trendy scheme to raise sheep.
