Google, Facebook, Twitter, ...they all taste that power and are trying to manipulate outcomes and control their corner of the world.
I would make one change to this statement. They want manipulate and control OUR corner of the world. That’s where the evil is, IMO.
I'm not a fan of being manipulated by "friend" (now ex-friend), media, politician, or corporation.

It makes me glad that a couple of forums are as far into social media as I ever got.

I hear you! I'm trying to post less, and just read/lurk. It's when you post a lot that you get drawn in to subject matter that causes you grief.

Canceled. If they try to move on to a different platform, paypal will demonetize them. Snailmail and a written check will be the only way to support someone on the internet.

You can't talk to them. You can't reason with them. You can't negotiate with them...
Is it bad that I heard this in the voice of Kyle Reese?

Oh man, yes!

But seriously, I think this is awful. I don't understand why you tube can't just create a rating system to deal with this. I understand taking down content that promotes violence or hate speech, but Metal Complex very obviously does neither.
This, of course, is the wedge they use to get in, but once they are the sole arbiters of acceptable content and thought, there is no recourse for those who suddenly find themselves declared to be outside of the realms of acceptable. It's just a small leap after all to stating that "Gun Fetishist" or "Knife Fetishist" videos promote violence in an indirect way... and those certainly aren't the only groups who have been conspired against.

Whatever happened to "I disagree with your what you say but will defend with my life your right to say it."

"Hate speech" is just the latest way to silence an opinion that someone else doesn't like. It's all BS and needs to go the way of the dinosaur.

It's a small step from there to regulating everything you say.

I logged into yt for the first time in a little over a year and found my channel (mostly disc golf, a few knife videos) was demonetized. I chuckled.

I can’t stand this blatant censorship/control coming from Big Tech to I don’t watch youtube. Censorship is wrong.
