Apparently, I’m not the only one noticing that YouTube is putting all but the extreme leftists content creators on a roller-coaster ending in a place where nobody wants to be, because waters of the Shit Creek are a treacherous expanse.
Let me put this in very clear terms. The reason behind this is not and can not possibly be commercial. Why? Because YouTube (read: Google) is promoting content everybody went to YouTube to avoid. They are promoting the “main stream” media which is deceptive, worthless, uninteresting, stereotypical and boring, and nobody wants to watch it. On the other hand, they are burying the super-popular channels that make them a shitload of money in ads. People call what they are doing “disneyfication”, but I don’t see it this way. You can’t make money by promoting things everybody hates and suppressing things everybody went to you to watch. It’s how you commit financial suicide. The motive, therefore, must be political.
The way I see it, people in power (basically, people nobody voted for but also people who pick whom you are allowed to vote for, and people who tell the elected people what to do, or else) were scared shitless when Trump won the election due to a huge support from Infowars and independent popular YouTube channels, who broke CIA’s information blockade that is present in the “main stream” media. Now, in order to stop the “problem” of actual democracy repeating itself, they are asserting their influence over YouTube and other forms of social media, and that’s very easy to do, because if you’re CIA, and you want to do something, it’s much easier to pressure one or few individuals on top of a huge corporation, than it is to pressure thousands of individual creators/reporters. Basically, you either threaten them or bribe them, or both. If they don’t obey, you make an example out of them, like Assange.
We are heading to a very, very dark place, where “dark web” might be the only place that’s safe for expressing thoughts and opinions, because everything exposed to the light of day might also be exposed to outright persecution. And when I say “might”, I mean it might actually become obvious to the ordinary people soon. I understood where this was going at the point when I saw Facebook’s user interface, which is designed to make humans interface in computationally friendly ways. Also, I know what all the cameras watching the streets are for, and what the financial KYC enforcements and “prevention of money laundering and financing of terrorism” are for. We were very carefully and meticulously trapped in a surveillance state, where we will be bred for taxation like cattle, and every possible way of engineering a successful revolution is being cut off in advance. However, it’s not like that hadn’t been tried before. Every totalitarian state tried intimidating the populace against a revolution by letting them know what odds they are facing, and how many of them are still around to brag about their effectiveness and their power? People invented democracy as a trick exactly because this kind of shit doesn’t work. The only way you keep people from staging a rebellion is by convincing them that they are already in power. You can’t do it by making the price of rebelling too great. That’s the first thing that’s been tried by every single dictatorship in the past, and none of those are still around. When people feel they have been tricked and someone is controlling them, it traditionally never took very long for them to just kill everybody in power, regardless of the fact that people in power always had the military on their side, or so they thought.
