Some time back YouTube removed one of my videos for the second time. Since then I stopped posting videos to YouTube. Not that I had much traffic but it was the principle. So my videos have strictly been on Rumble, BitChute and Odysee, the latter being a place where nobody goes to watch. One of the reasons I used those platforms is that they don't censor. Again, I don't make anything from the videos but I appreciate the fact that I won't wake up one morning and find that my hard work has been permanently deleted and a notice telling people, wrongly, that I engaged in "medical misinformation".
So with that, I was surprised to notice that my latest video on the LGBTQRSTUVLMNOP+= trying to groom children, mutilate children and enable pedophiles with support from none other than the Walt Disney corp was marked "ad free". Now again, I don't make diddly squat on any of my videos so it's not a big deal. So I was curious as to what "ad free" meant so I looked it up:
Ads Free means your content will be hosted in our platform but it can't be monetized.Here at Rumble We're happy to host your content, but at this time we cannot place ads on it.
In return, we offer you free hosting and as always, no restrictions.
Videos are approved "ads free" mostly because they have not been accepted by any advertisers.
We find that not every video has the ability to reach large audiences and be considered viral, but we encourage you to keep posting and making videos that appeal to watchers. We always recommend our users that they film in high quality video, with very clear audio and engaging background music. But it's very important that your content is engaging as well. [My underlines]
Now look, I don't have massive traffic. Really I don't. But even my videos with double digit views have been "monetized". So something about that "official" explanation seems odd. Let's take Rumble's word for it, that the material was "shopped" to advertisers and none of them wanted to touch it.
What does that say about the companies? You don't want your brand associated with someone or something that is against child abuse, pedophelia and child grooming? Think how low US (and presumably Canadian) companies have fallen that they don't want to be associated with such a video.
On the other hand, lets say that Rumble is just covering it's butt and doesn't WANT such material on their site but because they have a "we don't censor" reputation to uphold, they decided that they would demonetize, like YouTube does material someone (or some people) at Rumble think is too controversial.
Still, again, why would Rumble not want to monetize or support (beyond just being accessible) a video that is anti-pedo, anti-child abuse, anti-child mutilation and anti-child grooming?
This brings me to an article I read in Taki's Magazine.
Exacerbating the problem is the fact that left and right monetize in very different ways. Leftists have a knack when it comes to expanding their cult of fanatics by making it profitable to those who might not have otherwise joined. Leftists have made an industry out of “diversity consultants” and “diversity offices” throughout corporate America, government, entertainment, and academia. Mediocre intellects incapable of learning math and science thrive on college campuses in “diversity departments”; mediocre artists incapable of making films are hired by studios and networks to oversee “diversity quotas.” People without the intelligence to understand how to run a business are hired by corporate giants to monitor “diversity.” And your taxpayer bucks go to thousands of “diversity” bureaucrats in your state, county, and city governments.
See the dynamic here? The cult expands by getting non-cult institutions to fund the cult. To give jobs to members. To make the cult not just a belief system, but a lucrative profession...
Leftists strong-arm and extort to get money from outside their circle. Rightists keep scamming the same gullible saps within their circle. Leftists profit from their own, rightists deplete their own.
Faced with the grim reality that leftists are conducting daily hands-on conditioning in schools, and even those who aren’t conditioned are finding it profitable to parrot the cult doctrine in their professional or academic lives, it’s understandable that rightists are drawn to quick fixes. Real fixes seem an impossible task.
Apologies to TakiMag for the long block quote but it encapsulates the problem here. If I was pro-pedo and pro-child grooming and pro-child mutiliation, YouTube and the general left would "make it rain" on a video I produced. The right? Not so much. Being anti-grooming is too "risky".
