But we will still get money if we post videos of kittens and puppies right?

Me thinks 90% of YT content just went poof....although you probably couldn't say that on YT.

aha moment! I wondered why some of the best vids had no commercials imbedded. thanks for the slapping me awake

went to tube the other day and searched for 'hoax'. the volume of vids claiming hoax everything has EXPLODED (the great majority are complete b.s. and obvious lies/disinfo). now wondering if that is nyc.dc at work...or if it is free market forces zeroing in on an effective word? I'm leaning combo - some natural growth spiked by nyc.dc.

previous to this explosion a hoax search would yield some quality legit vids that looked at things from unapproved angles

saw a news clip the other day where twitter is getting in the video game - offering content posters a bigger cut of the advertising revenue than tube does

And Cultural Bolshevism like from the Kartrashian horde rakes in piles of cash.

I imagine that monetization of Bolshevist scheiße like "The Young Turks" will continue, despite their use of profanity and "explicit" discussion/imagery. This will apply only to those who engage in crimethink.

yes it's clearly very biased application of the "rules" going on at YT.

Time is ripe for a competitor. Question is, how do you host so much bit heavy content. The capacity must be monumental.
