Much better niche and I think it would be more effective.
Than fighting with all the other YouTube talking heads.
Activism in my opinion clouds the subject and makes it harder to discern truth from fiction.
^ This is the problem with Academia.
I care about objective truth, not activism
The channel would potentially be a means of getting said on the ground organizations message out
Exactly Termer!
What's the point of activism, if it doesn't lead to truth?
What's the point of defending falsehood?
I see no reason other than evil and power
I hardly see journalist these days putting themselves in danger like back during world war 2, when they felt it is very important for people to see what is happening and they were willing to risk their lives for it.
^
My primary concern right now is to get myself a platform, network, and eventually start organizing
Today journalists except for Timcast who has done that, are lazy and sit in their air conditioned buildings, filling in the gaps.
and the channel is a means to that end
@Dusty Morgan I wouldn't be sure if WWII is the correct war. WWII required all reporting to pass through the government and be censored to support the effort.
Why not just start a new NEWS organization that is based off objective truth, the real truth with real on the ground reporting like Timcast?
Vietnam is probably closer. It's what the journalists idolize. It's also where the journalists became activists.

It blew past fair reporting to activism around the end of the war.
What worries me is the censorship on youtube and twitter. Not because there aren't exponentially better places to be, but too many people are on these centralized platforms. My goal is to get people OFF of twitter, not necessarily to fix twitter
War correspondents
The censorship scares the hell out of me.

Censorship is the real threat in all this.
Yea the push for the "internet bill of rights" needs to be an organized effort
I was shadow banned from Twitter for talking about the constitution and advocating the protection our rights to engage each other.
I've been evangelizing for some kind of public square regulation.
and currently it is not
I had to deactivate my account, because I was getting no response from twitter at all. I am not important enough.
I've been convincing my friends slowly but surely not to depend on things like Twitter, and to use free alternatives, and some even to use Linux
I don't see any other solution. But it's not very popular here.
Online Public Space providers would need restrictions. Cuz you can't just hang out on a street corner online.
"internet bill of rights" needs to have an organized push, not just a bunch of detached people advocating for it
these tubers know eachother
I got so many ideas, so many opinions, and so many suggestions. Was taught it isn't wrong to throw ideas out there, because if we didn't do that, we wouldn't progress as a society.
This was voted up on KIA yesterday.
Learn to use cryptocurrencies, get off of facebook, and become less dependant on twitter. Also, we need some concrete internet bill of rights.
they could easily write something up together
Evidently, Josh Smith (whom I've never heard of) has been working on this for awhile.
