The VoxAdpocalypse has YouTubers creators worried, but should they be? Featuring FordFischer Hbomberguy Q_Review and more

Brewis warned that YouTubers should be afraid of what looks like a knee-jerk reaction to bad press. The first"Adpocalypse" took place in March 2017 after The Wall Street Journal posted an article showing ads for brands like Pepsi appearing alongside controversial videos, like ISIS beheadings.

Commentator Quinton Hoover, who has more than 300,000 subscribers on his Quinton Reviews channel, makes videos about pop culture and nostalgia. His videos haven't been demonetized under the recent changes, but he has a personal interest in internet culture."People on the reactionary side of YouTube live by a strange mantra: if you face consequences for your actions or for your words, that is breaking your right to 'free speech,'" Hoover said.

To Hoover, the success of"extremist YouTubers" like Crowder stems from the YouTube algorithm. Channels that post frequently and pull in a"strong response" are recommended more often, giving them more eyeballs and views."Crowder doesn't have any insight, he's not educated on his subjects, he doesn't add anything to the discussion," Hoover said.

The original"Adpocalypse" was a rough time for creators and for YouTube as a platform. Hoover said he believes that"people use the memory of this event to shoo off any discussion of extremist content being spread... we should be petitioning YouTube to make things better."

YouTube is refusing to punish a star with millions of fans after he hurled homophobic slurs at a journalistVox Media journalist Carlos Maza detailed the homophobic abuse he receives from YouTuber Steven Crowder. Kinda missed some info, BI: 'Carlos Maza of Vox has called for the physical assault of people in order to humiliate them. He then is outraged that someone makes fun of him online resulting in his humiliation.' Timcast Crowder is gross. Apparently reached out to everyone except for their opinion except for scrowder for comment. More FakeNews from supposed so-called objective journalists in the MSM.

YouTube won't take down homophobic harassment videos, but it will demonetize themCarlos Maza, a video journalist who works for Vox is speaking out after YouTube declined to ban the videos of Steven Crowder, a prominent right-wing personality who Maza says used the platform to attack him with homophobic and racist slurs. The company did say it would demonetize the videos, meaning they can't make money off of ads, for 'continued egregious actions that have harmed the broader community.' Now talk about how gaywonk espouses assault/battery.. or does that collapse this pathetic/convenient victim narrative? Mazda is a terrible person This guy is a shiphead

Sen. Ted Cruz Defends YouTuber Who Called Journalist 'Lispy Queer'The Texas Republican tweeted in defense of Steven Crowder, whose slur-filled videos sparked a harassment campaign against Vox journalist Carlos Maza. Ah, so that's the beef of the story. Not censorship. Not mob rule mentality, not the VOX propagandist trying to literally shut down dissent against his channel's content because he has shit arguments. The words, 'lispy queer,' are the key.
