from Russia Insider:
First they came for the Nazis, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Nazi…
(1) So yes, basically everyone Alt Right OR Alt Lite is now getting their channels deleted, demonetized, or at least having some of their videos deleted.
I don’t closely follow the vlogosphere, but here is a Twitter thread that seems to be pretty comprehensive.
It’s worth pointing out that demonetization is nearly as bad as an outright ban, as it demoralizes creators, and in some cases, cuts off their main source of income. Relying on Patreon or Subscribestars (a recent and less PC Russian alternative) is a bandaid – while we greatly appreciate the exceptions, anonymous readers are rarely very generous, and you need to be really big to make even a decent living off public donations. And they can always shut you down as well. Patreon is more than happy to kick controversial people off by itself, while Subscribestars had to cease operations for a period of time after PayPal cut them off.
weird how you and your alt-lite grifter buddies ignored censorship when it was happening to Andrew Anglin, Richard Spencer et al. two years ago, it’s almost like you’re full of shit https://t.co/7Er8PE6NU5

(2) Guess the Alt Lite and BASED conservatives should have protested more when this started i.e. when Andrew Anglin (Daily Stormer) got deplatformed in the wake of Charlottesville almost two years ago. Now it’s too late.
Online hate & extremism pose a significant threat. We were glad to share our expertise with @YouTube on updating their policies to keep #hate off their platform. This is an important step forward, but must be followed by many more. Read our full statement: https://t.co/4UFLycS891

(3) I am assuming that Trump is continuing to monitor censorship… all the way to losing in 2020 and going to prison soon afterwards.
At that point, most likely everything else will be shut down.
