RE: One of my favorite YouTubers (1 mil subscribers) is forced to delete 40 of his vids due to YouTube's demonetization crusade

in #dtube7 years ago

Hey buddy great post. I enjoy this type of content as well and have no objections with this type of content. Just to be clear they demonetized him but didn't delete the videos correct?

This opens the debate to what is censorship. Technically speaking IMHO they havn't censored him, they have just stopped his ability to monetize.

Personally I agree with you this is a form of censorship but the reason I bring this up is because I see something similar happening on Steemit.

So I'm no fan of Trevon or Craig but people are collectively downvoting their content so they can't make money. I made a post about this the other day basically saying the Steemit community deciding to gang up on people is a slippery slope.

I agree if Trevon and Craig are making BItconnect or Davor videos fine flag them because it's spam and to protect people. But if Craig wants to make a video about baking cake or a great crock pot meal he found there's really no reason to downvote him.

I guess basically what I'm saying is us Steemians can't be hypocritical. If were going to tout Steemit as a place where everyone can earn we can't then gangup and prevent people from earning because at that point were no better than Youtube.
