OP, did you purposely leave the Nazi hangout sites that this is meant to serve out of your content examples? The places that are generally career death sentences for the "cancelled"?
I generally like Louis, but this project seems like it will mostly be a tool for the rightfully de-platformed to retain an audience for their disinformation and hate.
Not a win for me right out the gate.
I hear you, I'm just not sure the % of actually legit cases of good people "lost" in YouTube's broken system, where this app will be helpful, won't be just completely dwarfed by the number of irredeemable dirtbags it helps keep their candles lit so they can live another day to shout about how you should drink bleach instead of utilizing legitimate modern medicine.
Frankly the vast majority of my favorite creators have not been able to handle youtube and most have moved onto Twitch, where I'm not so interested in watching. Banned from YouTube though, or demonetized? Now we're talking about ~5 creators Ive watched instead of hundreds.
Oh SHIT this is the first time I'm being made aware of that.
Then just... don't use those platforms? If you're so afraid they'll convert you.
Noo, I have to ban other people from using them too! People can't be allowed to do things I don't like!
Not afraid for myself friend, afraid for the more easily misled, the ones that likely live in your mirrors at home.
If you have people living in your mirrors at home, you have much bigger problems than I can help you with, sorry.
Woooosshhhh!
Waitwhaaat?
I, uh - honestly wasn't aware of it - I mentioned examples that I was somewhat aware/familiar with...
It honestly didn't cross my mind with the nazi shit 💀💀
