YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy

I tried giving you an opportunity, but I'm going to block you now.

You people will just respond incessantly until you get what you want, so I'm going to let you have the last word.

Goodbye.

I really don't even know what this means.

I wish the best for you.

That is why centralized platforms, especially powerful ones, are sitting ducks waiting to become even more corrupt. Why more people are not leaving centralized services is a crime against humanity as it is clear that supporting theme means society suffers.

"As many people as possible" not the usual household.

If your data isn't worth a few bucks to secure maybe it isn't worth the redundancies in the first place. Keep making excuses and hope they keep allowing you to access your data "for free" or at all.

And people judged me for watching YouTube with uBlock Origin, or via NewPipe for eons.

Look who's laughing now.

Judging a captive market for not being able to break free from a monopoly is just another firm of oppression, buddy.

I subscribe to a lot of full time "content creators" that are ad supported and supported via donations.

I curate my feed meticulously to avoid slop, and I get a lot of value, learning and entertainment from those I follow.

I believe they deserve to be paid for the tremendous amount of work they put in.

Some sort of ability to generate a livable wage from creating high quality content seems reasonable, no?

I mean, sure but we are past that. No large YouTuber will give up getting paid, and go to a system with a much smaller user base so even stuff like affiliate links and sponsorships are worth less. Basically double lose money just to join peertube. Especially since most large YouTubers have a team of people who they pay, so they cannot afford for their employees sake to take such a large loss just to support peertube.

More likely this leads to Vimeo, or like twitch TikTok or something else being able to support a normal video platform than it leads to people using peertube.

When an influential group of powerful people make hate speech a part of their standard rhetoric, is EXACTLY when you MUST block it on your platform, not a signal that it's time to start letting it slide, you fucking pricks.

Just don't make a video criticizing the nazi using snippets of the nazi's videos, because that's when you risk getting taken down for hate speech.

Smaller channels have this happen to them on a regular basis when they criticize bigger channels like, say, Matt Walsh. In that case, it's because YT likes the bigger channel better for giving more ad revenue. They only ban chuds after they become irrelevant, and that's only to save face — for example, when they banned Stefan Molyneux he was hardly popular anymore.

I'm more concerned about "anti-rainbow" capitalism. Like what's happening right now where instead of being performatively progressive they become performatively reactionary. (Well, I suppose that's just reactionary.)

Basically what I mean is I want rainbow capitalism to exist, but in a very specific way: I want rainbow capitalism to be the bare minimum a company has to implement if they want to exist. I want the social circumstances to force them to at least pretend to be on the right side of history.

Honestly, the real problem in rainbow capitalism is the capitalism part.

Pichai kissed the ring. He's colluding with the person who tried to overturn the elections and install himself as a ruler.

All of the billionaires that were at the inauguration are in the same boat. I'm at a point where I believe the crimes of any of them should be tried and convicted with the punishments being doled out collectively to all colluders, but that's me.

I'd be going for the death penalty from the prosecution side, since it seems like that is what we do now to people who cause one or more people to die, no matter how unethical the victim(s) were.

[iamthetot@sh.itjust.works]

Okay, as I said in my other replies, the videos are unlisted, not monetized, and I don't pay for it. What is not free about that?

[brb@sh.itjust.works]

That's a you problem. Why are you complaining?

[null@slrpnk.net]

Is money is the only thing about yourself that you ascribe value to?

[snotflickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Y'all are just really desperate to kill any remaining faith I had in humanity that they aren't all stupid selfish jerks, huh?
