      Why the fuck are you censoring Nazi. You can say fucking Nazi online. You can say fuck if you want to.

      Why the FUCK are you bowing to the corpo overlords.

      You can say Nazi. Self censorship doesn’t help anyone other than advertisers

            I don’t understand the mechanism. I could see a benefit for an advertiser if there was self censorship for criticising that advertiser, but what is the connection between that and self censorship for the word nazi? Or is it another mechanism?

              Advertisers don’t want to be viewed next to or adjacent to “problematic” content. Hence no swearing in the first 5 or so minutes in a YouTube video (right after add have played), self censoring words like cunt and suicide so algorithms don’t deprioritise you (again, because platforms make money from ads, so they won’t promote videos that aren’t as friendly).

              It’s all in the service to appease advertisers, and they require platforms to roll out the red carpet wherever they tread.

              The general atmosphere is “better” meaning the advertiser sees his “content” amongst more friendly surroundings

                So there is less advertising in Australia and the UK than the US because they say the word cunt more?

                  The major content websites deprioritise Australian and UK content outside of their respective countries.

      He’s not from the US either. But yeah, he’s an unapologetic lunatic. Nice for him to be on the right side of something with his large audience though.

      yea thats why he fled to JAPAN for like 5+years, and then he sorta of trying to come back through his vlogs, im guessing his family vlog channel wasnt enough so he pivoted to this in tech(looking for the next grift), he definitely misses that fame and money. yea he fled to japan avoid his consequences of being anti-semitic, if you fled to another country where the drama doesnt reach you, it means you dint learn your lesson.

      its the same as the asian influencers i used to follow that fled to FACEBOOK to avoid controversy(mysogyny and MAGAT-Y) on reddit, where they can control the narrative better.
