Im a notoriously shit thread starter so bear with me as i realize i cant exactly drop a couple of videos and just bounce without explaining them. Basically the issue is that there is some pressure being put on youtube by coporation's to figure out how to allocate their advertising to non-extreme YT accounts so that they are not associated with these people......ok sure that makes sense. So now youtube has this "restricted" mode that basically blocks a lot of (if not all of) the content being produced by people like the ones above. Im not making this out to be a left vs right thing either as these two ideologically seem to be opposite to one another in many ways (minus PC culture and Islam) but more about old media vs newer platforms. This basically destroys a lot of channels all in one shot as the traffic they will be getting will drop severely and as a result less money coming their way. Pewdiepie is on the extreme list just as a reference point.
Lets be real for a moment, but im willing to wager that most people now a days do not get their news from the telly as much as they do from the net. It's kind of funny because as i watched these two videos it had occurred to me that i have basically given up on watching TV and have completely replaced it with the internet. A lot of the news i hear are either on forums or on youtube from personalities like these two.
I realize im terrible at explaining this stuff so im hoping someone much smarter than me can kick off some dialogue here because it seems important.
