RE: YouTube's "Nazi Ban" further clamps down on free speech online 🧐
I think you're naturally going to get lumped in with antisemites and neo-NAZIs if you throw around terms like "Jootube". It's because it makes you sound like you're conflating being Jewish with being a Zionist or supporter of Israel's government. There are plenty of Jewish people who are not Zionists and who do not support the Israeli government. Don't quack like a duck if you don't want to be mistaken for a duck.
It's also standard claptrap from neo-NAZIs that "the Jews" control everything (e.g.: "Protocols of the Elders of Zion").
Another factor is YouTube changing its business model. It simply doesn't care, nor want, individual creators to grow organically and thrive on its platform any longer. It wants to compete with Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Hulu and other streaming subscription services. Independent viewpoints that might conflict with advertisers, mainstream studios, airtime it can sell or the sensibilities of mainstream viewers are no longer wanted. That doesn't just apply to political expression. Apolitical channels, including tech review channels, etc. have also been demonetized and smashed. It's another bait and switch by big tech. All you people who helped YouTube grow into what it is today? Seeya! And don't let the door hit you on the way out.
None of which excuses any of YouTube's atrocious purging and censorship. It's true that YouTube is cooperating with the mainstream media (and possibly the government) to de-platform inconvenient voices. My point is the situation is more nuanced than simply YouTube doing the bidding of government censors or The Zionists, or whatever. YouTube wants to cozy up to the big media companies who make mainstream content as well as big advertisers. They can't have Dan Dicks (or some dude named "Drutter" talking about “the joos”) competing for attention with the likes of Rachel Madow or Morning Joe, even if (especially if) that's what people actually want.
"I think you're naturally going to get lumped in with antisemites and neo-NAZIs if you throw around terms like "Jootube". Interesting that you talk about throwing around terms and then use the word nazi (although with the prefix neo). Nazism is serious word with specific meaning that is getting watered down. People say neo-nazi so that can have the satisfaction of calling someone something that they're not (a nazi) but without taking responsibility for saying it (by using a word strongly associated with yet supposedly independent from it).
I am well aware the term NAZI has been watered down and routinely used as a smear tactic. Nevertheless, there are (and have been for a long time) a very small group of people who are neo-NAZIs. These are people who actually dress up in NAZI uniforms and solute the NAZI flag, etc. Yes, those people really exist, and they are somewhat of a laughing stock. Note that I did not call Drutter a neo-NAZI or a NAZI (I don't think he is one). What I'm saying is if you (the royal you) run around claiming the Jews run everything, and are responsible for all the ills in the world, you're going to get lumped in with those sorts of misguided folks, and you're arguments are going to summarily dismissed without consideration.
It's a big stretch to assume somebody is into Nazism of any form because they said "JouTube".
YouTube IS owned by Jews, and always has been, just like Google/Alphabet itself. Since 'tubes' are videos, YouTube.com is literally a Jew tube.
But because the term "JewTube" is censored on some platforms, a clever portmanteau and play on the original name is often used - JouTube.
Nazism is something really different. I recommend looking it up if you haven't done so lately, refreshers are always good. Information can't hurt.
Saying "JouTube" doesn't even classify a person as anti-semitic (let alone a Nazi). It's true, after all. Maybe pointing out the truth is potentially inflammatory, or in bad taste. It's not anti-semitic though, because it isn't hostile, prejudiced, or discriminatory.
In short, you're going to have to do better if you want to make those dirty terms stick.
If you only meant to imply "now you know why somebody called you anti-semitic", well, no. I still don't see any connection between what I said, and that term.
But yeah, YouTube has dug their own grave, and perhaps that was by design. A planned implosion (kinda like Building 7!) to make it appear to go away naturally, to be replaced by something bigger, better, and definitely more Orwellian. Like how MSN was fake-upgraded (ie: downgraded) starting in 2006, there were data leak scandals, they merged with other sites, there were outages, and finally they just announced it was over.... but that everybody's account would be automatically 'upgraded' to a new program called Skype! (What a privacy nightmare that turned out to be.)
So maybe YouTube is being imploded, or maybe digital totalitarianism is really their plan for total control of the video-hosting world.
You are right that my days of truthtelling on that platform are coming to an end.
I'm not calling you a NAZI. I'm saying what you said sounds like something a neo-NAZI would say, and it definitely sounds antisemitic, and silly.
Okay, back up what you say with facts. That statement sounds preposterous.
