      Youtube has no morals, no standards. It is a business, and their business is eyes. The more eyes, the more ads, the more revenue. Everything else is nuance.

            I have no idea what their standards are, but if I were running the company I would deplatform someone convicted of human trafficking when their videos are basically justification for human trafficking.

                  Also he isn’t convicted yet.

                  If you have no idea then what does this comment mean?

                  I’m not exactly looking for snark just some clarification to your comment.

                    It’s an internet forum, and I’m tossing out plausible reasoning YouTube might have.

      I’m still angry that Jordan Peterson gets so much shit thrown up on YT. As a Canadian, I’d just like to say we prefer being associated with Beiber.

        Beiber gained some maturity. Those other two, not so much. I feel your pain.

        Out of every “Conservative influencer” Peterson is the least unpalatable.

            Yeah? I mean, I don’t agree with him on most things, but for all you can criticize him for, why that?

            Drug dependence doesn’t make someone inherently a bad person, nor does being Russian.

        Imma catch hate here, but I’m a woman, and I like the guy. I watch some of his stuff, though I don’t dip into his lectures on religion. Just not for me.

          you’re at the narrow end of the wedge right now. “put your shoulders back when you walk”, “clean your room”, “don’t lie”, all good advice that can be had anywhere. it’s just that the further into it you get, the more you arrive at his core philosophy, which is that there is a natural hierarchy to all human relationships and that cishet white men should be on the top of it because they’re the only people capable of bringing and maintaining order in the face of the “chaos dragon” of femininity, and that the history of violent western european dominance over much of the world is to be taken as prima facie evidence that violent western european dominance of the world is an ideal to be asserted wherever possible. it’s repackaged “white man’s burden” stuff mixed with a bunch of badly misinterpreted freud.

      My understanding (entirely mediated by the Behind the Bastards episodes about him, so take it with a grain of salt) is that he never posted directly to YT; everything of his up there was and continues to be reuploads from his followers. So, regrettably, even though Romania has thrown him into a hole in the earth, Tate-stans will continue to spread the bad word.

        Right, but YouTube have already proven that they’re perfectly prepared to take off platform activities into account.

        Hey, thanks for that! It makes me feel a bit better about it! I sometimes watch Behind the Bastards and haven’t disproven anything they claim, but I don’t always take the time to fact-check them, either.

          I’ve caught a few slips of the tongue and minor errors when Robert touches on things I have particular knowledge of, but not any gross misrepresentations. The warning was more along the lines of “I haven’t gone to primary sources on this” rather than casting aspersions on the podcast.
