Masvidal Lost Significant Monetization on YouTube and Facebook After His Trump Support Went Viral

Jorge Masvidal, has faced significant financial repercussions for his political views. In a revealing discussion on Jake Shields’ podcast, Masvidal detailed how his public support for former President Donald Trump…

Masvidal first noticed the impact of his political affiliations after a video he created with Donald Trump Jr. in 2020 went viral, amassing an impressive 44 million views. Despite the success of the video, the repercussions were swift and severe. “I was making very good money on YouTube and Facebook, I was monetized, I was killing the game,” Masvidal explained. “I’m talking about good money like I didn’t have to fight money.”

Poor thing. This cancel culture thing is going too far. I can't call people racial slurs without getting dirty looks, Donald J. Trump will definetely fix this travesty.

but i thought going woke is what made you go broke

Going to go out on a limb here and say that masvidal is a meathead who probably doesn't understand why he got demonetized lol.

Right wing grifters make bank on social media.

I highly doubt they singled out masvidal when nobody even knows who he is outside of MMA fans

Like the Twitter files, they need to do an audit on the YouTube files as well. The government has its hands in every form of social media. If you don't play by their agenda, you get canceled, silenced and demonetized.

This really conflicts with the unparalleled success of right-wing grifters, though. And I seriously doubt the federal government cares too much about Jorge Masvidal's YouTube revenue.

YouTube’s demonetization policies really should be made illegal. You can find tons of really egregious examples of it online. It’s especially brutal to like mid level content creators that have enough of a platform to make decent money but not enough to fight back or give YouTube significantly bad press.

It’s a shitshow. This is the problem with all these oligopolies we deal with today. I haven’t heard about his situation but I can already kind of guess what happened and he probably is a victim here

I wonder if it's better now... Youtube doesn't seem to be pulling this shit as much

There was some really ergerious stuff going on back in 2020/2021 with Youtube and other Social Media platforms.

You couldn't even say certain words or phrases in videos without risking demonetization, channel strikes or even outright account bannings. It was insane. It was effectively censoring speech for an agenda.

Many of those videos were still had ads and Youtube was benefitting on collecting those eyeballs for ad revenue... while cutting off content creators. Youtube even tried it with Rogan (before Spotify) and he complained... they prompted turned his revenue back on.

If people are watching your videos and driving traffic for mutual benefit, Youtube needs to pay up.

It crazy that people support censorship against view they don't agree with

 

[HOLA]

Did anyone here even know he had a YouTube account? I've seen a million Chael videos all over the place, but never one from him.

Right-wingers make a killing on YouTube. Perhaps Masvidal is confusing - perhaps deliberately confusing - not being likeable and not being nearly as popular as he thought with getting canceled?

After Jorge's BFF Colby lost to Leon Edwards (and very clearly lost) Colby went on Jesse Watters' show and whined that the only reason he lost was because he supported Trump. Both Colby and Jesse could barely restrain their laughter. They both knew it was bullshit.

But they know their audience. MAGA loves this persecution fetish shit.

it's youtube's right to free speech. they are a private corporation. they have the right to put whatever they want on their platform, commie.

Shit I got demonetized on Instagram for saying something dumb and I didn't even know my account was monetized to begin with
