Re: The Beginning of the End of Alternative News

 Quoting: LJM77


The irony of course is that as information is controlled more and more in certain channels it's actually now hitting other MSM outlets and that's why you see hosts getting fired in different places.

Alt news sites are still flourishing but increasingly the MSM is becoming marginalized and dysfunctional.

Hosting all that material and managing all that traffic would be a colossal initial investment with high operating costs that could only be funded by either governments or megacorps.

It's not surprising that you'd wanna police content with such an investment.

If YouTube goes completely mainstream and gets rid of alternative news they will start losing viewers and someone will start a website without censorship that will steal a good chunk of their viewers.

You do realize, don't you that the whole "free speech
on the internet" was a huge experiment. I never really
did believe that the elite wanted the "peasants" talking
to each other. Historically, such luxury as this for the
lower classes has spelled disasters for TPTB.

Snapchat, twitter, and so on. Are you saying that the populace can't find a way to express news and truth? Not anymore. It just takes the time to find the new medium. If you think YT is going to loose billions to the next start up, you are living in a false reality.

They have -

Daily Motion- nearly identical platform to YouTube but slightly less censorship. (At least they used to allow a bit of nudity and more fights/violence)

I'm sure there are others. Plus there are a bunch of live streaming sites like ustream, firstrowsports, etc

Thanks for that info. I remember reading something like this year's ago and thought it was just ramblings. Now whenever I turn in YouTube in bombarded with sick ads for Gigi Gorgeous and Foursome. When I started seeing things like this produced by YouTube I knew things were about to get real. Like you said, it was so nice while it lasted.

 Quoting: Spoon Boy


When making a bomb and stating killing white women is not labeled as hate speach there is a problem. If you truly think that is free speach that should not be censored then you are part of the problem.

Its not BS there bruh - its called freedom of choice to not be associated with hate speach at work here.

When it is Govt money that came from the people - the Govt has to cover their arses - unless they too want to be labeled as part of the problem as supporters of hate speach.

Funny thing though - I read how in Germany 98% of all reported videos on youtube are reviewed in 24hrs or less and removed. So why per-se then is the UK having such a hard time??

Wait for it... waaaaiiittt for iiitttttt......

Got it yet? Good.
