Youtube loses $70B in market cap



Pull quote: "You know what made Youtube great?  Youtubers."

And yet Youtube is getting rid of (or at least de-monitizing) lots of conservative voices.  While the pelt of Alex Jones' wookie suit may be luxurious indeed, he had a ton of followers and a lot of ad revenue for Youtube.  Not anymore.  Multiply by all the other folks who have been banned/shadow banned/de-monitized, and you're talking real revenue.

It's sort of a "growth by subtraction" strategy.  Sure, this makes the Left happy, but it's not like they spend any more time or money (ad clicks) at Youtube.  Folks on the other side?  They spend less time and clicks at Youtube.

    "Stop the double standard," he says.

    Has he not realized, when it comes to "Progressives," if it weren't for double standards, they'd have no standards at all?

    Seems the adage that the Right has money, the Left has voices. And they (Yousetubes) listened to the voices and not the money. Oh, well.

    Of course, the issue is every time an alternate non-discriminatory video channel tries to open up, it seems the hosting server gets woke and shuts down the content.

    Silly socialists think money grows on trees.
