Yeah, totally hoax, because PDP would probably want to legit donate ADL.
Next he'll suck the cock of WSJ.
And WaPo, and whatever else were against him.
@jacovich stabs I don't think ADL has the time to do it, but they are on basically what equates to "Trust and Safety Council" of Youtube.
ADL is literally **ADVICING** Youtube on hatespeech.
I don't see why he would want to, at least if he is familiar with them. There's always the chance he isn't familiar with them and gives them the benefit of the doubt cus they sound nice on paper. But somehow I don't think he would donate that much on a whim. I think he knows about them.
iirc ADL and some other progressive rackets have been given at least important advisory roles in Youtube, and may have access to Superflagger accounts
But I don't know if they have direct access to delete anything. They do advice on shit, and tell what to censor.
I suspect it's probably true that they have access to superflagging, and even if they don't, they could probably organize mass flaggings if they wanted to
there's also the fact that, with or without that specific ability, they hold a lot of influence over advertisers
the mod put up screenshots apparently "proving" that 4chan is behind the blackmail story, most of the screenshots are just people mentioning the story or saying to upvote reddit posts about it.
They probably have superfagging access but is superflagging for mere comments or videos and entire channels?
Oh ok, so its more of a proxy type relationship. Hmm, I'm still unsure as to whether its blackmail or not. I don't think it is, Pewds is bigger than the site. There's no way that they could make him give them 50,000 to stay on YouTube or stay uncensored. He wouldn't do it. I think its more likely that he is just ignorant.
Because superflagging thousands of mere comments is like killing a fly with hydrogen bombs.
So, for any tuber who has massive following, it can be a tremendous opportunity cost to be on their bad side, as fewer advertisers will likely be comfortable using your channel
Superflagging is the shit where you could delete PDP's entire channel overnight.
They would only kill his channel if he doesn't capitulate. So far, he's been capitulating a lot, and trying to be very diplomatic.
Superflagging is the shit that gets Jihad Watch, etc. taken of the site without a single prior TOS strike.
It's a huge risk for them to take down such a large channel, because his presence could carry the popularity of another video hosting site if he left Youtube
But they can still do a lot to hurt him and disrupt his finances without taking him down
Mentioning donating to ADL (whether he did or not) is not capitalaiton.
Paying them is, mentioning he did is not.,
Obviously, PDP doesn't want to migrate to another platform, or he have already done so. So, they can just put pressure on him to not be too much of an edgiboi, and also to get essentially free money out of him.
All he did was tip off his viewers that shit is going on.
He wouldn't tolerate it though. As someone who has been on the site he would know in an instant if they tried to slowly strangle him. He'd make a vid about it and YouTube would pander to the outrage temporarily and if it didn't improve long term he'd leave the platform.
If you weigh how much he probably gets through revenue, compared to what he paid out, it's likely they can get an awful lot before he finally draws any kind of line in the sand.
He tipped off ADL extortion in a way that the MSM cannot accuse him of making up the conspiracy (because his viewers would make it on his behalf ... it's genius).
how?
MSM cannot use that as a means for call to deplatform since PDP never said ADL extorts.
And he can remain on Youtube, raking in the dough.
He couldn't make as much money on Bitchute.
hmm, i think this is getting into some 3d chess conspiracy area.
With the donation, which he made public. It's very suspicious. But at the same time, I wouldn't put it past him to just be that naive about what ADL really is, and think that it's good lamb's blood. Good optics.
@Miniature Menace What donation?
I guess time will tell
@Miniature Menace Is there proof there even was a donation?
He said he gave 50000 dollars to ADL but did he?
most likely he did
again, it's gay, but yall are throwing a fit
Well, maybe he did for plausible deniability.
