    Please tell me YouTube is removing his videos and demonizing him? So YouTube only pulled his channel After Guardian reach out. So basically they were okay with this until they were called out.

      Not only is moderation expensive, but the current administration has attacked organizations that try to moderate anyone who catches the fancy of the MAGAverse. Slash moderation departments and reduce the risk of expensive lawsuits and harassment with the power of the federal government behind it, win-win.

      Demonizing or demonetizing? I’ve heard YouTube demonetizes people for swearing or discussing the history of the USSR. But advocate fascism and apparently it’s all good.
