Face it… YouTube is the new media, while old media has been enshitifying itself for the last few decades. Even previously trusted sources like Washington Post and NYT have really gone downhill over the past 5 years.
Shows like Last Night Tonight and some of the other late night TV shows, broadcast important political issues to the general public, those are now in jeopardy because old media doesn’t fucking like it when they are called out, or they call out their Dear Leader Trump. And you know what? The best place where those ideas get broadcasted is not on TV… it’s YouTube!
Here’s a video link I removed yesterday:
Good for you. You did some research and discovered it’s has ties to a batshit crazy website.
FORTUNATELY, the rule forbidding video content means that I, as a moderator, don’t have to do a deep dive in conspiracy bullshit to remove a post. Videos are not allowed. Full stop. They do not pass the bar.
Booo! Fuck your rule. It’s a shit rule. Political discourse has shifted to new mediums, and your fucking rules are stuck in the past.
If we allowed video, moderators would have to review each and every one picking winners and losers and the result would be some mods removing videos they didn’t like and keeping the videos they did like…
You mean you have to review and moderate posts? Just like you read and moderate comments? Wow! Holy shit! You’re already picking winners and losers. You’re just spouting off excuses.
Create a goddamn blacklist or something. You obviously don’t accept every single news source in your posts. You already have a blacklist of some sort. Surely you’re not allowing news posts from conservativegrandpa.americaneagle.ru or any of the other tinfoil hat nutjobs.
Oh yeah, you just said: “they would be removed for being a bunch of tinfoil hat nutjobs and not actual news.” So, you’re already filtering. You’re already picking winners and losers.
Your rule and reasoning is hypocritical. Embrace new media and take out the shitty rule.

YouTube is the poster child for enshittification, it’s not a valid example for anything else.
If generations are using YouTube as a primary news source, we’re all in deep, deep trouble!
