    It pisses me off that coverage of his many mob shakedown threats continues to be treated as normal legal settlements.

    Already sick of youtube and their sanitization of the internet (theyre why people say “unalive” - because they fucking censor “dead”).

    I cant imagine how worse this is going to make that.

      (theyre why people say “unalive” - because they fucking censor “dead”)

      Any source for that? I was always under the impression Tiktok was the original cause of this. Not that I have any love for Youtube, of course.

        Perhaps theyre not “the” source, but theyre definitely a source. They’ve built a system that results in creators self-censoring

    I’d strongly urge people to ask their creators to at the very least mirror their content to a different site (e.g. https://tubefree.org/ ).

    If we can get Kimmel back on the air, we can get a video sharing site that doesn’t capitulate to authoritarians.
