Good point. Can we talk about how 'conservatives', who are literally in their name conserving some sort of status-quo, are aiming to CHANGE society in some way.
Wait. Does that mean the economically neoliberal, Third Way, pro-LGBT and pro-abortion camp are the definition-fitting *conservatives* of the 2010/2020s?
@@dog-ez2nu The anti-establishment has become the establishment.
@@dog-ez2nu in this day and age 'conservative' has lost all cohesive meaning. in the same vein as 'right wing.'
political lines are no longer drawn based on their traditional definitions. I'd be more accurate to characterize the political split in America and the West as between those who support IdPol and those who oppose it, and those who are globalist and those who are nationalist/localist.
it's comprable to how the spellings of words like "knife" remain frozen in time as their pronunciation changed.
Also, when both Green and Trump say that big tech companies are poorly regulated, I imagine they mean it in completely different ways.
Bubba Smith indeed
@@JJMcCullough to me, personally, it seems like Mr. Trump thinks that they aren't doing enough to prevent censorship, whereas Mr. Green thinks they are doing too much to prevent censorship. That's just what it seems to be to me, however.
@@jackbennett6902 Um no. Trump says they are censoring to much. So much so that conservative views are being demonetized or taken down. UA-cam have actually admitted this fact during the congressional hearings.
@@Gryphyn3 read what I said again, but slowly. I said that Trump said that companies are NOT preventing censorship.
@@jackbennett6902 Yes I understand what you wrote, but your making it sound like he meant that they are doing nothing to prevent it when the reality is that tech company are DOING the censorship. I don't care if a company is doing nothing to prevent censorship. The tech companies don't have a stake in preventing censorship. They are actively censoring. Preventing censorship sounds like they are stopping their users from censoring others. And that isn't the problem. It's the tech companies themselves that are censoring and causing this mess.

Great video. I enjoyed hanging out with you at Vidcon. Thanks for bringing up demonetization for educational creators. I know Grant has especially been frustrated. While I've been frustrated that my same-sex marriage Supreme Court case explainer video is not monetized, I didn't put near the hours in that Grant did only to see his video taken down completely.
Sup Mr. Beat I've been watching your videos nonstop lol great to see you here
It doesn't matter what your views on politics are, they'll demonitize you anyway
Yeah left leaning channels such as Secular Talk and The David Pakman Show have also noticed their videos being demonetized and not getting recommended.
Inquisitor Thomas I was going to comment about David Pakman
They're un-encouraging independent political commentary in general. They only want big names like CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, Vox, etc.
That's because the algorithm thinks everything is racist
@@Aarne210 It's worth acknowledging as well that the majority of smaller, independent commentators tend to be more right-leaning, perhaps because the mainstream is overwhelmingly left-wing.
This was brilliant. Nice meeting you at VidCon!

Also, oh my god, this is actually a very important topic to talk about. I honestly feel very lucky that my videos don't generally get demonetized (however innocent and impartial they may be), but I really think there should be more attention paid to stuff like this. I've even seen somewhat popular channels get temporarily terminated by mistake for no good reason.

Unforgivable. We must stop this at once.
@@LeylaDerben Well I really don't disagree with you there, independent and (mostly, to the point in which it's possible) unbiased media absolutely should and must exist.
As far as I know, the US deals with the wonderful issue of it's two-party system and the whole Dem/Rep, CNN/Fox divide.
But then again, it's national broadcasting which has the duty to inform it's citizens fairly and indiscriminately.
Derben Leyla More specifically CNN is a mouthpiece for establishment democrats. They like smearing Bernie Sanders and Tulsa Gabbard. Most media is supportive of dmeocrats like Obama who act progresisive but at the end of the day do no5 challenge special interests as he failed in many fronts by passing Romenycare, no climate change legislation, and for not criticizing corporate money in the campaign of other party members.
When they are intentionally misinforming people by manipulating the algorithm to favor a certain group to a point where they'll affect the outcome of elections and painting anyone that disagrees with them as Alt Right... Yeah it must be stopped.
@@BicBoi1984 "Anyone that disagrees with them"? No.
UA-cam and other such I guess "liberal" media do have a liberal bias, and as long as YT has a monopoly on video streaming, they should aim to keep their site as unbiased as possible.
However, in a (more) perfect society, national broadcasting has the task of unbiased newscasting and such.
@@BicBoi1984 there are other ways beyond the UA-cam to inform your audience about the good or bad certain politicians are doing
What I've seen from a whole bunch of youtubers experiences in regards of demonitization is that adressing non-childfriendly/Family-friendly content in videos generally gets them demonitized. There has been youtubers that got age-restricted when adressing suicide/depression and how to deal with it in a empowering way, and a whole bunch that loss monetization from just cussing.
Advertisers prefer child-friendly content, they get huge amount of views while also being a pretty safe choice that will rarely get them in trouble for it. UA-cam know this and has favoured channels that create videos for that demographic. Your observation that Vidcon was built as a 11 year old boy's heaven proves this more, in my opinion.
What I really dislike about this is that several important topics that are not family-friendly are pushed down by the system. Lots of UA-cam channels (like Casual Historian that you showed) are able to create very informative videos that could launch interesting discussions while educating young people like me. This "censorship" of non child-friendly content looks like it wants to create a environment where bad things doesn't exist, which is clearly not how reality is.
(JJ! Really god Video! You're doing a great job with your videos Ɛ>)
So much content with the word "gay" (or any LGBT+ content) in the tags gets demonetized, regardless of how family friendly it is. It's causing huge issues for a lot of channels.
@@catbojangles In my experience what i comes down to is anything of controversy is demonetized. If you talk about religion, politics, social activism etc. those are the ones that get the hammer. I'm more conservative myself but I like to frequent the opposing side to keep my views balanced, and from what I see both sides are complaining about the same thing. I've seen LGBTQ+ channels talking about how they are being discriminated against because UA-cam is biased against them. I then see Christian channels claim the exact same thing. What I think It comes down to is that UA-cam, like any other corp, wants to chase the money. And in our world we see a decently even split between conservatives and liberals. So the popular thing to do is straddle the middle-line, not taking any sides. The problem with that is it alienates both sides of discussions and then both sides point at the other side for causing the issue. Even though in this case, I think both camps would find a common enemy.
As an 11 year-old boy, I can confirm

Really interesting direction to take a Vidcon video, enjoyed hearing your insights about politics. And thanks for the Dom Pedro reference!
Jack Rackam thank you for making that great video!
You made a really good point about how left-wing and right-wing are increasingly more about how "sensitive" their followers are. I've met a lot of people that consider themselves super right-wing/left-wing and they actually agree on a huge amount of policy, just not on how they "feel" about that policy or what words to use to describe that policy.
Sooo true
Now THIS is a Vidcon video that has J.J. written all over it.
I'm glad you didn't shy away from pointing out that so many issues--as well as values and even characteristics--which shouldn't be politicized have become that way. It makes me uneasy that we all seem SO divided nowadays, afraid to embrace anything that could make us like the "other" guys. It makes me wonder whether everything could end up resulting in civil conflict. I sincerely hope we find some common ground to unite on before anything like that ever happens.
So about that civil conflict
B r u h
I remember Tim Pool made at least one video about UA-cam saying they want to promote "authoritative sources", or established media, over independent channels. That alone can affect the spread of conservative ideas since the only established news source with a conservative perspective is Fox News.
Exactly. If you look at the big MSM they're promoting, it's basically
CNN
NBC
ABC
Fox News
You can count up for yourself which of these are left-leaning and which are conservative.
And fox news ain't even good.
It doesn’t help the left wing either! If you think CNN or MSNBC are left wing then you are just wrong. They are very much centrists.
I think that creates another big issue, because a lot of the time companies like FOX news and CNN aren't really interested in giving well thought out, nuanced takes on things. Controversy sells, and so they follow the money. I know in several instances they will both intentionally bring extremely unreasonable people on the air so that people get more up and arms about things. FOX uses the far left man hating feminists, and CNN points at the far right gun toting fundamentalist Christian. Both do in fact have articles and content on a more nuanced way of looking at things. But those are rarely the stories they choose to put on the main stage. A lot of the time where you find nuance is in smaller media distributors like JJ here.

@@andrewturkington369 How do you figure? I always find people like Pool and Rubin to be confusing and interesting. They're self professed liberals who seem to almost exclusively shit on liberals and the left- and not in a constructive criticism or self improvement way. Whether intentionally or not, they seem to operate as a sort of 'insider' who is there to confirm and support right wing criticisms of liberals, the left, the associated beliefs and/or movements. We see this a lot on UA-cam with Imam Tawhidi, Blaire White, Milo, Candace Owens and etc who's roles, knowingly or otherwise, function as such. I've seen a bit of that on the left as well with channels like Faradayspeaks, though, his thing is being a former alt righter who now makes content critical of them.

@@alexandrub8786 yeah but I keep up with Canadian politics too, he still wouldn't be conservative up there
Honestly you seem more like a conservative-liberal than a conservative.
Tim Pool isn’t conservative, just because he often disagrees with a lot of other left-leaning people doesn’t mean he can’t be left-leaning himself.
The problem with these progressives is that as Bret Weinstein said, there are some of them who disingenuously use these loaded dog-whistles such as inclusivity, or diversity - they may mean merely tolerating and not persecuting those of difference sexual orientations or not hating people of different minority cultures to you, but at times the aforementioned part of the progressives (funny enough they are the bad-actors within the progressive left) in reality deploy such terms to dogwhistle their own bigotry against the majority (which they may be a part of, ironically, e.g. white far-left intersectional progressives) and revanchist desire for something way beyond tolerance: infringing on the majority’s right in order to privilege minorities or even to let the latter dominate/oppress the former (speech codes/hate speech laws/de-facto blasphemy laws, protected classes, etc.)
Funny enough, as much as it may be ironic, I am myself part of the “POC” minority that those white progressives love to get offended on behalf of.
Tim pool channel is just completely anti -left. Nothing wrong with that but calling yourself "left" while only doing that is cheep. He is probably centre-right. He is another Rave Dubin. Dave Rubin seems more inclusive but he did call a white nationalists a centrist
@Glyn I think you're the one who needs some help.
@_angelos_p what even is the far right to you policy wise?
Love your commentary. You are a much-needed voice of reason.
Great video. Was really awesome meeting you in that Starbucks the other day!
Ethan Miles and you too!
They’re demonetizing all politics really, except for “establishment media” like abc, cnn, etc. I don’t think it’s a conservative issue I think it’s a more establishment vs anti establishment. UA-cam was a home for alternative media like the am radio. Alternative media does tend to be conservative however, so maybe that’s why people frame it as a conservative issue. I think all political channels left or right should fear the big corporations taking them over on UA-cam
@Elliott Kim there are talks to regulate UA-cam, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter as though they are utilities. Think of how companies like Comcast and Verizon are somewhat heavily regulated because they are providing a service considered necessary to life in modern society. These big tech companies, while they are private companies, have become the only effective p2p communication that exists today, and the government is trying to regulate them as such.
I agree, but like you said, alternative media tends to be conservative. I think everybody would agree that establishment media (abc, NBC, cnn, npr, bbc, nyt, LA Times, Houston Chronicle) tends to lean left quite consistently with very few exceptions(fox news is the only mainstream right-leaning outlet I can name). What this creates, whether intentional or not, is a platform that almost exclusively supports the left wing media establishment. This is why conservative media feels so adversarial so often. Conservatives feel their voices are not just going unheard, but are being actively suppressed. They seem to care more about it because there are fewer voices sharing their message that actually get heard.

I really enjoy your videos J.J. - I am about as far left as one can get, and these videos really make sense to me, are enjoyable to watch, and help me understand the right in a way that's intelligent and thoughtful. I think you should try to see if Hank Green can talk about this more (maybe on his own channel, not the one he shares with John), because this is actually the kind of thing Hank seems to love exploring.
magicbloo I like this channel to but I disagreed with his description of Canadian parties and democrats running for president. The liberals are corrupt in Canada and fail to implement social Democratic policies since they are controlled by powerful corporations, similar to the establishment dems like Pelosi and Schumer in the US. He said the NDP is far left but it is a social democratic party that will fight powerful special interests. In the US, Bernie Sanders and progressives like AOC, Ro Khanna, and Tulsi Gabbard are fighting special interests and are not even very left wing but center-left social democrats who are challenging the massive power of special interesrs that massively influence the entire Republcian party and most of the Democratic party. Sorry JJ this is just what I think.
@magicbloo Same!
If you're far left, you'll fit right in here, because JJ isn't conservative just because he tells you is. Seems another ploy to shit that overton window.

A great summary on our increasingly polarized society • Not easy to sum up in a succinct manner, but as always, you do. Thanks JJ.
The "private company can do what they want" argument regarding freedom of speech goes out the window when said private company acts like a publisher of content instead of a broad platform. UA-cam enjoys the protections of being a platform while also exercising powers of a publisher, a situation that needs remedying.
JBSauce why? Anyone can make their own board at any time. It’s a free country. Why should the government come in and say what someone can do with their own company?
JBSauce and no the freedom of speech argument definitely does not “go out of the window” it’s literally the largest bipartisan double standard out there . Either there’s free speech or there’s limitations or there’s none . It’s pretty simple .
@@michaelloedel750 Suppose I make my own video hosting site that discriminates against blacks: you can't upload videos if you're black. Would I be legally free to do that?

One of your best videos by far JJ. It's clear that this is important to you as an intersection of your interests (youtube/media and politics/current events) and you gave a very comprehensive take on it all.

I mean, the US political spectrum is so thoroughly fucked that "conservative" is becoming indistinguishable from fascism.
I’m trying to avoid becoming one of those people who runs around saying things like “my opinions are impossible to classify”
@@JJMcCullough Conservative and right wing politics doesn't have as many clearly defined internal movements as liberal or left wing politics does, especially in the mainstream. Most people on the mainstream left will identify with social democracy, social liberalism, or democratic socialism, possibly with some civic nationalism thrown in depending on where you are in the world. There's obviously variation in policy, but there's broadly agreed upon ideological bases and goals for each position, and you can generally look at a person's statements and policies and be able to neatly pigeonhole them based on that. On the centre right, liberal conservatism, neoliberalism, and one nation conservatism are all significant camps within the general centre right space, but not that many people strongly identify with any one of them. There's also enough similarity between their policies and how their proponents express their beliefs that it's much harder to definitively say who belongs to what ideology.
JackInTheBox To a large extent the right is always just defined as being “anti left,” so the priorities of the left will affect what the right will look like.
He seems to be fairly socially liberal while otherwise mostly conservative
I was literally in that area for a Journalism Convention back in April! That’s so cool!
I liked your video, but I also dont think you tackled the possible UA-cam "slant" in an accurate way. I could definitely follow your reasoning, but I was hoping your video was going to poll amounts of liberal vs conservative creators and maybe also what the user base leaned towards in some way. You looked at vidcon, which does show what UA-cam Wants to be seen as, very family friendly, and I agree with that notion, but not much on the greater website as a whole. Even with vidcon though, you have individuals like kat blaque who are known for being aggressive and controversial, but someone like Blair white who I would argue is equally aggressive and controversial would not be able to be put on that panel. Everyone on that panel would argue and fight with her (and vice versa), because their political leanings would be too conflicting. I think it's probably better for UA-cam they only had very left leaning creators on the LGBT panel, to avoid controversy, but that's because Americans arent at a point where we can sit liberals and conservatives side by side together, maybe a decade ago but today there is too much confrontation over politics. There is a lot more I want to mention but I dont want to appear confrontational, I did enjoy your format and editing and I followed your reasoning quite well, even if I disagree with a few sentiments. Thanks, and keep making vids!
So family friendly is selling gay and trans to very little kids and having Desmon is Amazing and Lactacia dancing in drag for horny men at bars. Nice, and JJ calls himself conservative. I'm sickened at the things he promoted in this video that are so far left it's obvious his leanings aren't conservative at all.
My dude JJ please understand that Tim Pool is not a conservative he himself has said that he is to the left of Obama and has criticized Trump many times and supports Tulsi Gabbard. He fights for an end to online censorship and freedom of speech.

As someone who was as left as can be, you're one of my favourite UA-camrs and you're actually one of the most neutral, objective, and analytical commentators on politics I've seen on youtube.
Hashtag thank you so much!
I think the problem with UA-cam's bias and social media's bias in general is encapsulated by your description of conservative vs. liberal dispositions. The way you describe conservative disposition comes off as judgmental and negative, whilst the way you describe the liberal disposition seems more positive and non-judgmental. I don't think this is intentional, but I do think it points to how "conservative" qualities are negatively encoded in the public perception, whilst liberal qualities are positively encoded, which is why when a liberal activists "compassion" leads to them throwing bricks at people's heads the mainstream hems-and-haws about how violence isn't constructive, but actually aren't they fighting for a good cause? Whereas when a conservative is violent or nasty etc. it's seen as a natural extension of the ideology.
Obviously people on the unambiguous political extremes, who are literally engaging in politicized violence are monstrous. And many on the left were far too quick to excuse the violence against Andy Ngo, for instance. But the point I was trying to make was more in reference to the baseline of political discourse and motivation these days. A lot of people on the left would say their core motivation for being engaged in politics and political activism is to improve society, particularly for the marginalized. A lot of people on the right, in contrast, would say their core motivation for being in politics is to oppose the left. What this means in practice is that a lot of people on the right will be constantly seeking to oppose, criticize, or mock the left's initiatives to improve society/help the marginalized. Now the left may very well be engaged in utterly destructive policies in the NAME of a good cause. But this presents a challenge for conservatives, if they are genuinely empathetic people. They have to oppose the left without being seen as indifferent to suffering, or actively in favor of it. I think a lot of conservatives these days are not doing a very good job at that.
Good point
@@JJMcCullough "A lot of people on the left would say their core motivation for being engaged in politics and political activism is to improve society, particularly for the marginalized. A lot of people on the right, in contrast, would say their core motivation for being in politics is to oppose the left." Uh, no. And there, is the bias. A lot of people on the right would say their core motivation for being engaged in politics and political activism is to improve society. They're just saying what they believe is necessary to achieve that goal, to actively oppose policies they believe harm society - FOR THE PURPOSE of improving it. Are they wrong on some issues? Yup, as are the left on some issues. Anyone on either side that simply opposes without reservation every issue the other side supports is on the extreme side of their scale and should be considered as such.
>That gosh darned Conservative Tim Pool
>Tim Pool, "I support universal healthcare and many other social programs."
He used to support universal healthcare but not anymore. Most of his content is basically smearing the left. He made a 40 minute video supporting the "Ilhan married her brother" conspiracy. It's hard to find videos of him criticizing Republicans or people on the right in general. When asked why he does not criticize anyone on the right, he replied "cuz it's boring".

They’re not the largest donor, but they were the largest corporation to have donated. I don’t know what that means because also on that is the US Dept of State

Are you able to gt through the tongue-twisting portions ("carefully curated crowd of creators") in one go, or does it require multiple attempts?
Anaheim where VidCon is hosted is so far away from Venice Beach. What is your impression of Los Angeles County and Orange County and the Southern California in general?
Robert Perrett so much driving! Everything is so far away from other things and everyone just accepts this as normal.
I love the File Footage for the AI lol
Not sure why this got recommended to me almost a year later, but I'd like to add a few things here.
First of all, as someone who is making the first steps into the AI engineering field, I suspect that there is no conspiracy in UA-cam blocking everyone left and right. It's genuinely hard to develop a good algorithm, especially keeping both inclusivity and values in mind.
Also, a lot of people seem to not realize that a big part of demonetizing/deleting videos work is done manually by office clerks, whose job is to watch videos all day long and delete them if they think it's necessary. It's true, their job is monotonous, but stressful and mentally difficult at the same time (just imagine the amount of shit they have to watch every day), so I suppose most of them just get tired of this and delete videos randomly at some point. A lot of them are mostly foreigners who couldn't care less about American politics.
wait a minute... YOU took that long educon table picture?? I remember this! but i don't think i was ever introduced to you and only discovered your content like this week!

Thank you so much for deciding to make a video on it, was worried we were not gonna get your point of view on it!

But I would hardly call Tim pool a conservative lol
Tim Pool has a very right wing audience.
Glyn Case in point
@@RihannaIsIluminati It's extremely bizzare to me that a guy can hold almost exclusively left wing opinions, can donate a substantial amount to hard left politicians, and yet is still deemed right wing because thats what his audience is. Why on earth does his youtube audience trump all else?
Agreed. He's not voting for Trump
MassageMyTiddes Its extremely bizarre that a supposed left-winger has cultivated an almost exclusively right-wing audience. Why do you think that is?
It's a surprisingly good opinion and review video because you give a variety of critics, beyond your own opinion and political side.
Thank you for coming through once again with the unbiased political commentary. I cant tell you how refreshing it is to hear someone analyze rather than whine
This was very biased to the left, as is JJ.
Before this video the only real clue I had gotten that there was censorship towards left leaning content as well was a podcast I listened too about Steven Crowder. It just seems like this is a bigger issue with youtube rather than just a specific issue of political bias, the youtube machine just wants center-left or center-right content that they can spew out to the general public and thus shuts down further right or left content. I think is sucks but ultimately its their site and they can do what they want with it I guess.
i thought this video itself was going to be a little biased but i found it to be really balanced. this is why i love your videos/how far my faith in the internet has depreciated lmao 😂
This Channel is absolutely excellent
Your insight is great J.J.!
Very well done once again, J.J.
Such an original and well thought out topic!
This is a very important conversation and I feel like you covered the topic extremely well for a short-form video.
I’m consistently impressed by your ability to be objective. As someone who identifies with the more liberal side of the political spectrum, I’ll admit that I was a bit nervous to watch this video initially. Fearing that it may be biased. However, you always do an amazing job of getting your points across in unbiased way. I appreciate this so much in a world where most things seem increasingly contentious.
The problem with YT's "inclusiveness" is it's inherent exclusiveness. If you limit something based on hurt feelings, you are letting inherent labile emotions determine what will always be a constantly fluid level of rules.
Welcome to free market.
@ThePitZajat And how is it protected by the government?

Thank you JJ for bringing this up. Incidentally, a different educational channel I watch (and tackles Holocaust issues from time to time) asked if subscribers would join UA-cam Premium to help stem demonetization.
My issue paying for YT Premium is I’m paying YT and enabling YT’s actions of demonetizing and disabling comments to honest, hardworking filmmakers and encouraging “creators” that honestly don’t bring anything constructive to the table like the Paul Brothers and (ducks) Rhett and Link. Until they set up a Patreon-type system where my money can go to certain channels I have to sit on the sidelines.

There is political bias.
Example:
You can disagree with Pro Life stands.
But it is a legitimate expression and can’t be silenced by a Monopoly.
Either it becomes the “wide open platform” or UA-cam starts taking legal responsibility for all the contempt online.
Bruh it’s a private company
I think you make an excellent point about how inclusivity and tolerance, values which should be considered more "human values" than "liberal values", are increasingly being politicized. Living in Iowa, I commonly come into contact with people my age who are fiscally conservative and rather buttoned down, but who believe that we need to make a tolerant and accomodating society, especially for immigrants and minorities, bc 1. We're a nation of immigrants and some of them know their family tree all the way back to when they moved from Europe to the Midwest, and 2. If we're going to claim to be a "Christian nation", we should maybe have some of that love for your neighbor that Jesus seems to like talking about. These conservative friends are rather upset that they must either choose someone with their preferred policies who associates with white supremacists and says homophobic things, or choose someone who seems to be a decent human being but has policies they actively detest.
There's a lot of interesting theories as to why conservatism seems to be shifting further right, but I'll leave those to people with a deeper understanding. Regardless of the reason, an algorithm that blindy flags anything to do with sexuality or race is harmful to society, especially when there is so much violence against minority groups and we need to have these discussions.
You're a good person
@Alex B 1. We're a nation of immigrants - Most conservatives don't mind immigrants at all. They hate illegal immigrants because the more social programs that exist (which they don't like paying for in the first place) are drained even more from illegals which haven't paid in the same way and certainly aren't counted. There is less or NO effort to integrate them into the country. Remember how colonization was so horrible because they steamrolled the previous culture? But it's cool when it's a culture you don't like? So pick a viewpoint. And more focus for money is set on immigration, when actual citizens (including immigrants who worked like hell to just get in) are told their very real problems aren't as important as the person who broke the law to skip ahead.
2. There may be a majority of conservatives who see things from a liberal root rather than christian. And that IS a foundation the country was built on literally. Individual liberty. The constitution was modeled after John Locke's philosophies. You know the guy who OPPOSED Hobbes who thought a giant government would solve all problems?
Remember when guilt by association was both a logical fallacy, and bigoted idea? Like when you were seen chatting with a Muslim you weren't planning a terrorist attack?
Well congrats, now the left are the bigots.
Those aren't the stances of a good person.
Most conservatives do love their neighbors, they seem to stop doing it as much when called racist, sexist, pickyourphobic trash.
Weird how insults and de-platforming don't make people love you more.
When's JJ finally going to run for office in Canada?
Nice shades!
May I ask?
I’m shopping for a new pair.
Advertisers don't like X is such a lie. Its like this people think we don't remember what cable TV was like. There were adds on MTV, adult swim, TLC, etc
Attach the rite advertisers to the rite videos.
Lucas Rivera the culture around advertising has changed quite a bit in recent years. We now assume that advertisers endorse the programs they advertise on. That didn’t used to be the case, and it imposes a lot of new accountability on advertisers they didn’t have before.
Love the video, but I really wanted to point out that Tim Pool is not a conservative, and has stated that he is a Bernie supporter many times. He often gets lumped in with conservatives because of his open dialogue with conservatives.
Why does he hate aoc then
@@bluelamboblackpresident6111 Democrat establishment dislikes her
There were many Bernie supports who went around and voted for trump when Bernie lost. Him being a Berniebro means nothing.
I didn't hear anything after Axe Body Spray Fortnite lounge. It killed off a vast majority of my brain cells just hearing those words in conjuncture with each other.
One of the biggest annoyances to me is that video is very likely to get at least demonotized if they even touch some subjects, or even say certain words. Which is ridiculous unless context is observed those are just words.

I vividly remember that a few years ago, the whole "social media companies are censoring conservatives" was in the news again, and during that very news cycle, a far left meme page on facebook that I followed was deleted. It kinda annoys me that the conversation is focused on conservative content, because it's pretty clear that it's not always the case.
There is a clear anti-conservative bias on pretty much every social-media platform. UA-cam (which seems to demonitize every conservative UA-cam channel I watch -- and I'm a centrist, so I do watch about 50-50 on both sides; but I have never seen a liberal channel mention demonitization, whereas nearly every single conservative channel has spoken about being demonitized) does seems to be one of the last strongholds where conservative voices can actually post their opinion (although they will not get paid for it in most cases), this does not mean there isn't a clear anti-conservative bias with social-media on the whole. Almost every day you hear about conservatives being banned from Twitter or FB (look at Lindsay Shepard for example, or the PPC candidate for Guelph -- people who did nothing but speak out against pedophiles, or otherwise express central-right conservative opinions, but are banned from social-media platforms for doing so). Look at Crowder, like you mentioned, who gets his whole channel demonitized (despite UA-cam admitting he broke NO rule sand did NOT violate their terms) for making like 3 or 4 (admittedly tasteless and regrettable) jokes, whereas the accuser has been known to advocate violence against conservatives, but still gets monitization and notariaty (and he just so happens to be ultra-liberal).
