One of my youtube accounts was shadowbanned for about a year. I noticed this when people stopped commenting on my posts virtually overnight. It was like I became a ghost. Let's not forget shadowbanning.

Yeah, same. Seems like shadowbanning is preferred to actual banning, which makes you wonder whether these stats include shadowbans and what they would look like with shadowbans included. It also seems like they expire automatically after a certain amount of time. I got shadowbanned about a year ago and I recently decided to try posting a comment just for the hell of it: lo and behold, people responded. YouTube is very opaque with its policies so it's unlikely we'll find out how the system works but I'm starting to think it might be an automated one-year ban as standard.
Idk what Googles policy is but it may be worth checking out.. I feel I’ve been shadowbanned on YouTube also, but it seems like it’s everywhere I’m signed into that google account. If I’m in any random chat room under that account, type a message, and look at the chat from a dif browser not signed in... those messages don’t appear. When they shadowban you, it might be the entire google account linked to your YouTube. Maybe

They fancy themselves our new rulers.

There is no 'fancy themselves'... when you are on their site they are 'in fact' your ruler.

I used to laugh at people who were "building their business" on youtube, or "growing their channel", for exactly that reason.

All we have to do is stop using their services and they go away overnight. We need to get the word out.

I think it has already started - that's partly why the CEO is dumping shares - he knows.

Alternative everything. Alternative everything. Alternative everything.
From payment processors to server hosting to backbone to front-ends.
Had the wheel turned differently and the Youtube was a successful product managed almost entirely by the evangelical Christian community the censorship would be just as fierce and overt.
We already know most other groups from Islamists, Socialists, Maoists, Communists, and large groups of people with the same pipe jammed up their asses will all quash divergence, dissent, and deviation- even though American Christians tend to be a bit more open than the previous they still have no fucking idea how to abide shoulder to shoulder with edgekings, punks, and fringe thinkers who also happen to lean center-right and pro-Constitution.
Alternative internet. Alternative search. Alternative freedom-based hive from strut to plugs.
It'll happen.

It's sad this still needs to be said. I stopped using Google for everything possible well over a decade ago. The writing has been on the wall for a long time but the mainstream public is slow to pick up on it and even slower to make necessary changes.

I fail to see a legal basis for antitrust. What have they done to stifle other video services? Squash competition?
