The Worrisome Implications of Mumkey Jones' YouTube Ban | Joe Rogan and Tim Pool

So I think it'd be fair to point out YouTube criticism too, because in talking about censorship, I think a lot of people immediately assumed I'd come on here and start waving my arms and they're screaming their bias against conservatives, which I think to any extent I kind of did. But YouTube is a bit different. YouTube does. It has demonetized LGBT content. And YouTube has said that these topics are not suitable for all advertisers because it deals with sexuality. They have target many left-wing channels. There are a lot of non-mainstream left-wing outlets and when you say target, what you mean is demonetize. Demonetize or sometimes outright ban. And I think then for demonetizing, I think they've made a state. What was the policy there? It's essentially things that are political, correct? If they made that statement, I don't know that. I was going to interject that they've also banned, or not banned, but demonetized people, extensively people that smoke weed on their channels. Oh, totally. I actually. There's certain video game channels that for unknown reasons just stop having monetization on their channel too. And that is the problem of ultimately them having this incredible power where there's not real open competition in terms of a parallel competitor. I don't think there will be. Mailing. But here's the thing. I think YouTube's done a bunch of really bad things. I'm going to give a very important shout-out to Mumkey Jones, who was wrongly terminated from YouTube for highly dubious reasons. He is a dark comic. He had hundreds of thousands of followers. He made jokes about things like school shootings, very dark stuff. But it was clearly mocking some of these people. He was mocking Elliot Roger. He's making jokes about it. And in fact, some of his videos were approved manually for monetization. But for some reason, YouTube just wiped them out one day, gone. So he set up a new channel and said, OK, we're not going to do that anymore. Doesn't matter. They got rid of him. He's effectively off of YouTube. And he was like, he's a well-known funny guy. He wasn't breaking the rules. He wasn't. But they still deleted his channel. So I bring him up because I think it's worrisome that, yes, without an alternative, your career is wiped out in a second with no recourse and no reason why. And the response they give you is, it's our platform. Yeah. And you'll hear people say, oh, but they're a private business. They can do what they want. Sure, but they're a monopoly. We've got to have restrictions on this.
