RE: the internet mafia wants us to self-censor
I understand now. I wasn't sure why your post has been flagged down...now I know why. Thank you for explaining.
In order to reach people youtube, you must be absolutely prolific. Posting content all the time. How do regular people do that with a 9-5 job? They either continue to work and in their spare hours, crank out content, or they are compensated by an outside source, or they make youtube and everything in its orbit their job and get dubbed e-beggars because there are those who abuse this position. Eventually you have to get compensated is my point here, if you're cranking out content all the time. Otherwise how do you keep the power on, pay the internet bill, etc. unless you've got a trust fund or something?
Me personally? I'll be okay. I have a regular pleb job. It still sucks to watch people you respect, with a ton of passion and good intentions, have their livelihood taken away without warning. Everything they've built...poof. gone. I'm no spring chicken, I realize life isn't fair, but the only alternative now is to go to these alternative platforms, and quite frankly, I think they suck.
They feel like a honey pot.
Who are the type of people who migrate over to alternate platforms? They're the type of creator/person who look up while everyone else is looking down. Do you remember when Gab came on the scene? I got verified on Gab rather quickly, and encouraged everyone to follow me over there from Twitter. Their system wasn't secure, and the whole list of verified accounts got leaked, along with that information that verified them in the first place, essentially doxxing everyone.
That was fun.
I uploaded an old video to Bitchute yesterday around 10am. It's still processing this morning.
Dlive? Alright. I'll try it. I have to achieve some sort of level of membership in order to post videos, alllllllright. I get it. I'll keep posting on here. But all-around, it's just frustration. And I think that frustration is tangible this week.
Does it seem like we're swinging a baseball bat at our own kneecaps when we stay on youtube, and delete videos that the ministry of truth might take issue with? Yes, of course it does. Feels bad, man. Like they're winning. Am I going to tell everyone that? No. I tell myself and everyone else to keep going, whatever that means.
Anyway,
This is a war. Bodies are piling up. Despots are desperately clinging to power, and the parasitization that is their sustenance, because decentralization has already begun to reduce it. People - as do you - are making their own goods and services previously only available through centralized industry. In every field of industry, decentralization today is the cutting edge of advance. This particularly includes media, and has for some time.
Censorship is an act of desperation. Only folks that cannot abide facts need to eliminate those facts being communicated. The self-censorship that has been left as your only option to use the centralized platform is, as you admit, an act of desperation. You aren't more desperate than technocrats who have far more money at stake, and the fact is that censorship is them directly attacking their supply of content on which they feed.
We are winning, and they cannot decentralize without becoming ordinary plebs.
Have a look at this video, which practically was made with you in mind. Consider that mesh networks are being built today, and the centralized institutional power that presently enables censorship is being eliminated.
Decentralization is actual freedom, and centralization, despotism, is already on the decline. Over time, acting to reduce the parasitization you suffer will increasingly profit you, and reducing your dependence on centralized mechanisms will increasingly set you free from despotic power as well.
Thanks for the link. It's exactly what I need, and I think it's exactly how you're going to win. Diversify.
