Which would probably be illegal to do so...
Yeah. So it's only ever gonna be a thought exercise.
Tim Pool is probably one of the most credible sources
Many of the channels where ads run on are not receiving any of the ad money, too
Interesting.
"Don't call it a grave. It's the future you chose."
This is bigger than just a cultural left-ride divide, it's old media dying and gasping for air
They're using their established influence and money that's left from their huge pockets to try to infiltrate modern media platforms like YT
There's been research on this, major news networks were pushed to trending almost 100x more often than independent channels that create far more popular content
This has been happening since Google bought YT
No surprise there, Google is itself the most established platform. It's literally Silicon Valley fighting the rise of the common man.
Of course eventually they'll lose because they don't have endlessly deep pockets. But for now they have the upper hand.
Right I did some manual testing in lieu of anything else and, not a single video popped up advertising.
So it would appear the claim is a true one
(why the fuck people would deny free money is beyond me)
There were old posts about prageru and shapiro appearing on Contra's video's but that could just be Youtube getting its pound of flesh...
Kek.
Still, it does go contray to everything known about the youtube algorythm currently. More adverts = more reccomenations, because that would make youtube more money...
They see it as an ideological platform first, moneymaker second. That, and they're still of the frankly ludicrous belief that the future of YouTube is in becoming part of hte MSM. Which it's not, by the way—it was the indies that made it a success in the first place,.
yep

Doubt that's the reason why you wouldn't get advertising revenue
And while clear that google doesn't see Youtube as a profit making entity, they aren't going to say no to mitigating their losses via promoting video's which make them money, more than just views.
Afaik Contra does long format videos, and has never liked pushing out many short videos
YT doesn't promote such videos very much, whereas Tim Pool has had a steadily growing audience because he went for quantity over quality in the past years
You can compare those two channels on Socialblade, TP at least in theory performs much better than Contra
If they both had always been monetized, Tim would've made boatloads more money in comparison
Tim Pool even released a video a year or so back, contemplating this transition. He knows that's how the monetization works, and it was actually a pretty big gripe of his, because he believes the long form, heavily researched videos are more important, but he needs to live off this to keep doing it, so he set up a second channel for his Opinion Piece content.
Yep
Do not forget that these people want you broke, dead, your kids raped and brainwashed, and they think its funny.
Keep 'em coming, they're helping our cause
I guess the solution to google being accused of political bias when demonetizing people is just to demonetize pretty much everyone, get your patreons or subscribe stars ready.
