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.yablanowitz wrote: ↑Mon May 17, 2021 10:13 pmIt makes me glad that a couple of forums are as far into social media as I ever got.

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.

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.JuPaul wrote: ↑Thu May 06, 2021 5:41 pmOh man, yes!TomAiello wrote: ↑Thu May 06, 2021 3:31 pmIs it bad that I heard this in the voice of Kyle Reese?

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.

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.

Re: YT channel of Metal Complex demonetized ...
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.
