A look at how YouTube is abusing its creators with financial threats to create a chilling effect that controls the very foundation of how we speak. This video's been a long time coming.

(Note: subtitles will be late this week due to Laura being away and me getting external help. They'll be up ASAP)

Proud to support someone who will actively resist YouTube's censorship.

Hi Stephanie, I subbed after seeing this anti YouTube piece, which articulates much I feel about it. I’m a fellow exile, a trans woman and just regular consumer who apparently breached some unknown boundary arguing with transphobes after the UK Supreme Court Rowling fiasco in the comments sections of a few creators I followed. (No threats, or bad language. Just a lot of commenting, because I was quite triggered at the time.) Ironically, I had been paying Premium for an ad free YouTube experience, but with no warning or explanation I’ve been permanently kicked from the platform, I can no longer log into it at all, the auto message stating it was because it thought I was a spambot, or posting malicious content. Tried appealing, rejected in 45 seconds by the algorithm and… that’s it. I can never watch YouTube legitimately again. I have found a way, and it is currently ad free, so their loss I guess. But if there was a viable alternative to YouTube, I’d be there in a heartbeat. In the meantime, there’s Patreon, I guess…
