.@YouTube @TeamYouTube stopped over 95% percent of our videos from being monetized, stating: “It’s Not Suitable For All Advertisers”……..“Wonder if @TeamYouTube stopped the monetization of our videos because we are loyal supporters of the @POTUS….Hummmm………..”
Pro-Trump personalities Diamond and Silk took to Twitter Thursday, accusing Google-owned YouTube of demonetizing 95 percent of their videos. The pair believes YouTube's decision was driven by their support for President Trump.

Washington Times reports:

"@YouTube @TeamYouTube stopped over 95% percent of our videos from being monetized, stating: 'It's Not Suitable For All Advertisers,'" the two said in a series of tweets. "Wonder if @YouTube @TeamYouTube stopped the monetization of our videos because we are loyal supporters of the @POTUS. Hummmm. Sounds like Censorship to us, which is a Violation of our First Amendment. A Bias Method used to Silence our Conservative Voices. @YouTube, how was it OK to monetize our videos for the past two years and now those same videos are no longer eligible for monetization?"

The popular duo has 89,000 subscribers on YouTube and another 361,000 on Twitter.

News of the largely demonetized channel comes less than two weeks since the company announced plans to fight inappropriate content.

"We'll soon be applying tougher treatment to videos that aren't illegal but have been flagged by users as potential violations of our policies on hate speech and violent extremism," the company announced Aug. 1 on its official blog. "If we find that these videos don't violate our policies but contain controversial religious or supremacist content, they will be placed in a limited state. The videos will remain on YouTube behind an interstitial, won't be recommended, won't be monetized, and won't have key features including comments, suggested videos, and likes."

Hey, Google, How Do You Prepare a Country for Totalitarianism?
Feature Article by Robert Tracinski, August 8, 2017

Millions of Americans—most of us, probably—have grown to rely on Google as our default search engine for finding information online. Thousands more have even gone so far as to buy Google Home, an Internet-connected microphone plugged into Google’s computers that is constantly monitoring your home, waiting for voice commands that begin, “Hey, Google.” To the extent we bother to think about it, we accept that Google gathers our data and eavesdrops on our homes, because we assume that they only want to use this technology to sell us things. If the cost of free access to a really great search algorithm is that we have to see a few banner ads, that seems like a very small price to pay. After all, what could possibly go wrong?

Well, now we know. Google could decide that its mission is not to provide us with access to information but to police our views to make sure they are Politically Correct.

The warning shot is the way Google recently fired one of its high-level engineers, James Damore, for posting on an internal discussion board an anonymous memo making a measured argument against the company’s approach to “diversity.” The big irony? He began the memo by warning that “Google’s political bias has equated the freedom from offense with psychological safety, but shaming into silence is the antithesis of psychological safety. This silencing has created an ideological echo chamber where some ideas are too sacred to be honestly discussed. The lack of discussion fosters the most extreme and authoritarian elements of this ideology.” Everything that happened subsequently at Google, on Twitter, and in the technology media has validated this warning a thousand times over.

For those who point out that Google is a private company that can hire or fire anyone it wants—and for all those “liberals” who have suddenly embraced big corporations’ power to dictate terms to their employees—this is absolutely correct. It is also beside the point. A country does not have a dictator pop up spontaneously, out of nowhere, and suddenly push the bonds of repression down on everyone. The people have to be ready for dictatorship. They have to learn to embrace its habits and practices voluntarily, or at least to show no resistance. In that regard, what is more important than Damore’s firing was the reaction to it, which show us how many people are willing to cheer on and participate in the ruthless suppression of dissent against the prevailing orthodoxy.

We are being given a preview of all the steps necessary to prepare a country for totalitarianism.

1. Create an ideological dogma immune to factual or logical criticism.

I don’t agree with everything in Damore’s Google memo—a somewhat rambling piece that strikes me as pretty typical writing for a 28-year-old engineer, a mixture of sensible notions with unexamined assumptions. But I don’t have to agree with all of it to think the issues are worth discussing and that Damore shouldn’t be fired for bringing them up.

The central argument he makes, and for which he has been attacked, is eminently reasonable: that there are differences between men and women that cause them, in aggregate, not to enter the same fields at the same rates. And if that’s the case, then the attempt to achieve full 50/50 equality in hiring, particularly in very narrow technological specialties, is misguided.

Note, I’m not saying that all men differ from women in the following ways or that these differences are “just.” I’m simply stating that the distribution of preferences and abilities of men and women differ in part due to biological causes and that these differences may explain why we don’t see equal representation of women in tech and leadership.

That such natural psychological differences exist seems to be uncontroversial among scientists who study sex differences. Moreover, the current Politically Correct dogma on sex differences lacks basic internal consistency. Why is it so important to encourage “diversity” in employment? Because, we’re told, women have different experiences and priorities that would be missed in the “bro culture” of a male-dominated workplace. So therefore, in order to achieve this “diversity,” we have to pretend that there is no difference between men and women in their experiences and priorities.

We can have a lively debate about the extent of sex differences, what they mean, or the degree to which they are the product of evolution (which tends to be stated in a crude and oversimplified form), or the product of different experiences relating to sex and child-bearing, or the product of artificial social conventions.

But the whole point of this incident is that we can’t have such a debate. Note that when Gizmodo published the text of Damore’s memo, it deliberately excluded his graphs and footnotes to scientific research—dangerous information that its readers must be shielded from. Or decode the message from Google’s VP of Diversity in her official reply to the memo: “Part of building an open, inclusive environment means fostering a culture in which those with alternative views, including different political views, feel safe sharing their opinions. But that discourse needs to work alongside the principles of equal employment found in our Code of Conduct, policies, and anti-discrimination laws.” Notice how the second half of that statement negates the first, which is reflected in the outcome.

That has been the dominant theme of the response: that it is wrong even to discuss this issue. Heck, it’s wrong to discuss why we’re not discussing it. Which leads us to the next step.

2. Make discussion itself into an offense.

I remember a memorable press conference during the Gulf War in 1991, when a Pentagon briefer told reporters that he couldn’t discuss a particular military operation. The reporter asked why, and he responded: “I can’t tell you why I can’t discuss it, because then I’d be discussing it.” This rule of military secrecy has now been applied to gender politics.

So according to a writer for one of the more openly leftward technology magazines, to discuss the Google memo in any way, even as a “devil’s advocate,” will get you shunned and may raise questions about whether you’re qualified to do your job.

I think people have become confused about their individual right to free speech and a business/website owners right to discretion for the safety of its employees and its bottom line.

Google nor youtube are RIGHTS, but they are luxuries afforded us. They are companies which have the interest of their sponsors and stockbrokers. They cannot have employees creating what is an environment of harassment basically(having women walking around as a new target for not being 'biologically' equipped for the jobs that they somehow are managing to do quite well anyway). They also cannot be forced to pay money for content that is offensive to their stockholders or being flagged as undesired by its viewers. This is the nature of business. There is no business without bias, bias that falls on the side of pleasing those who provide the funds for the business. The least bias is probably publicly funded business, and even that will have the 'bias' of the local values and standards.

problem is that google has started to skew Searchresults,in other words,it can't be trusted!
The Collectivist Philosophy by Top-Google Executives has made the whole thing suspect!

I don't watch this site, there are more important things to do than watching videos that other folks find important and feel they need to share. Like a snake cuddling up to a mouse or some dumb *** walking into a sink whole while their watching their phone. Who gives a damn
