Ya see here's the thing. You have all these major YT personalities crying about YT censorship, yet they still haven't gotten together and created an alternative site.
Mark Dice lives and breathes by exactly this specific kind of video. It is literally all he ever talks about. He doesn't want it to stop, if it did he'd have to get a new gig.
Not saying he is wrong, or that he hasn't put out a lot of good useful shit, but at the same time he thrives on it and profits from it, literally.
The 'youtube censorship' controversy and 'no platform' movement is meant to create an outcry for regulation.
Guess who will control and decide those regulations?
Thats right, the people currently doing nothing about the no-platform movement.
Don't fall for their horseshit. Against all odds, create competing platforms, it's the only way. This is gonna be "net neutrality" all over again, where for the sake of 'preventing provider discrimination/monopoly', it will be used as a power grab that will limit competing platforms.
What the hell does he expect them to do? Youtube is a private company. You can't go defending a company's right to not be forced to make wedding cakes, then turn around and force Youtube to support something they don't support.
Does it suck? Yeah.
Honestly, I wish YT wouldn't just go all in and delete them all, show their true colors and create enough demand for something else to be formed. As it is now, trying to create competition for sites like FB, Paypal, Ebay, Google, and YT is almost impossible because they don't suck enough.

Youtube is a private company.
Not anymore. Not only does Google receive government subsidies (which isn’t directly relevant to the main point), the combination of Google, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter controls all human discourse in ways never before seen in history. What they allow is the sum total of what information the vast majority of people can access AT ALL. They no longer have the power to censor ANYTHING.
EDIT: Excuse me, not power–right. They certainly have the power, but no longer have the right to censor anything as they are FULLY public avenues of discourse, indeed for the entire fucking world.

I am sick of these libertarian retards. "Hur, they're a private company, they have every right to shut off my gas and electricity in the middle of winter causing me to freeze to death." Bullshit, that is a loser attitude, there is precedent that private companies that provide essential services are not allowed to do this sort of thing. In the 21st century Google is the public square and it should be forced to adhere to the first amendment.
and if its a private company (google owns it) then why does google have information on people whether they want it or not and whether they uploaded it or not? Seems like google is doing enough to be considered public by now?
Their dominance has been so successful that they're now a monopoly that needs to be regulated, at least to the extent that they can't ban legal content or creators.
