Hey everyone! Another annoying day on the centralized web! Today I posted two new video reports to YouTube only to find that they were both immediately demonetized for "hate speech" which isn't anything unusual. But that wasn't all...
My latest video is NOT counting ANY views at all!
Here's a sequence of the video over the past hour... Remember, this is a channel with 42,000 subscribers.
People are rightly questioning it in the comments...
I've contacted YouTube support and here's what happened... You can see my response below!
So here we are... Another day getting ripped off by good ol' YouTube. They're breaking my bank and censoring information because... well... it's not in tune with Mao Zedong...
Another reason why people are flooding away from YouTube and to other free market alternatives like Steemit and DTube. Talk about shooting themselves in the foot.
Thanks for reading. Please don't forget to share this information! This is what those in independent media have to deal with on a regular basis!
Update:
Well the views have jumped a whole...8 views... So much for their excuses. If it were legitimate freezing, we'd see a MASSIVE jump to the real number...
We need a DTube to rise

Yeah, now that I complained publicly on Twitter, they updated it to 8 views to make it not look AS bad. But it's not climbing at all. LOL

Stories like this are exactly why I am telling everyone i know about Steemit. People have been enriching facebook and google for too long without thinking about the massive profits their work generates for a few other people. Looking forward to the day when you can get out of that abusive relationship!

Why are you using it... I mean, Youtube is good only for basic stuff, like music or "how to" videos. It is surely not good website for those who want to put out data which is very important and is against the objective of the politics or today's economic imperialism

YouTube is great, in the sense that it has a massive audience. But I too feel the need to hedge my bets, and move to other platforms, especially Steemit. Those that aren't creators of ten don't understand how important monetization is for creators. Steemit helps with that, at least. Upvoted, and I'll go upvote some of your other stuff to offset this lost ad revenue (a bit).

I noticed the view freeze when your YouTube vid went up and you commented on it there @joshsigurdson. A sign of things to come perhaps. Well you have one regular viewer here anyway. Thanks for all that you do and let me know if there's some way to help you guys out beyond financial contribution. 👍 resteeming.

that´is why steemit and Dtube are the future and if it is almost certain that it will happen then after episodes like yours its 100% garented in few years Youtube will die.

Why do they think they can control information just like that?
Steemit and DTUBE are better and should be used in place of some other social media sites that discriminate against tge type of information shared.

OMG! it means #Youtube also playing politically and making the misuse of our views??
Well Thanks @joshsigurdson for making us aware about this factor.
I think it this should be shared with other fellows of mine on whatsapp, facebook and on steemit for sure.
Keep updating us #Josh
Steem On!

Is the purpose of that to stop it coming high up in search lists? Because obviously you're not going to earn from the views.
