@Tanz In fact, best opportunity, if YouTube and those holders felt threatened, is to take down his channel for spreading covid-19 misinformation, and shadow ban him from YouTube, force him out to other video platforms or other social media sites. That's if they really are threatened, they could easily do just that, so why wait so long just to cancel him?

@Tanz If the YouTube business holders viewed Russel's Channel as a threat, why wait this long when they could've taken his channel down 5-10 years ago? Two very different contexts you're talking about. We're mainly talking of rape and speculating on Russel's guilty or not, and cancel culture. We're not talking about gun Channels or mass shootings like what? Why conflate the two different contexts?

@Jodistrict That could potentially be a factor, among other factors involved in this situation. This reminds me of another context with coverage of trans issues, and the question of whether it's mostly ideologically based and propagated via information and social media, versus actual gender dysphoria felt in that person? Science and psychology has yet to parse this ratio properly, plus due to the polarizing takes, both sides of the political wings will be close minded and dogmatic instead of taking a more centrist view of this specific issue.

@Jehovah increases But good luck saying that to companies nowadays which are now incentivized to go for sound bits, sensational takes and over exaggerated points for clicks and views, thanks to how toxic the internet has become now.

@Alex M Which is problematic in the future, as it gives a false sense of self entitlement to one's opinions. The internet/online communities and digital culture is rotting most of the minds out at this point, too much information in fact too much misinformation in our current information landscape.

@Tobia I feel like this is another example of how over consuming social media, internet and online culture/communities leads to increases in mental health problems of all sorts. From fake/false self image issues via beautifying image algorithms, ideological proliferation via forums, increases in ADD/ADHD and codependency of information intake and unhealthy Para socialization via Streaming formats, Twitch, Twitter, and Tik Tok, and increases of narcissism/sociopathy/psychopathy and neurosis from these social media sites, and a false expectation of entitlement to one's opinion.

@Leo Gura This going to be a contentious event, which those with deep anti mainstream and anti establishment sentiments will spin off to support their narrative of less regulation. By YouTube capitulating to the mass reporting or hate mails they receive, sets a bad president for other companies. They should start giving clear, long explicit lists of behaviors in their policies that clearly break guidelines and policy, and maybe take inspiration from your forum guideline page.

@Carl-Richard Very interesting video, reminds me of Leo's video of conservative/liberal brains.

@Schizophonia Lying by omitting?

Share some small YouTube Channels you come across that is high quality and not low quality: Leather Apron Club, IMO fits the high quality content makings: Reason why is because his Channel functions as an accountability, and power check for other smaller or bigger YouTube Channels. How he covers his topics, with analytics and research, and good valid arguments, gives added realism and checks popularity creep and hubris of those Channels in question to some extent. For a small content creator, and small Channel, how he communicates is good, which serves to me as a ecological check in the ecosystem of ideas that flow within YouTube. He is this good of a content creator, and arguer, that he even made Eric Weinstein attempt bad faith frames of him during the Joe Rogan podcast here, with little reasoning why he felt the need to mention him other than he felt he was right in his arguments: And many more videos this guy does is worth watching some.

This possibly a historic moment going forwards, grossly demonetizing from just hearsay. To be fair, this also happened to Mr. Girl's Channel, but it was mass reported for just one of his videos after his more emotionally charged opinion of Nick Fuentes.

@Sidra khan What high quality YouTube Channels do you suggest?

A great, unbiased take on governments and democracy.

@newbee This quote is a binary statement. You're setting up a binary in which your mind is taking a complex topic like nationalism, ethnocentrism, even religious nationalism, and group conflict dynamics, and setting up this simplistic polarized binary of a loaded question like 'Why is it ok for some people(?) to be nationalistic, such as the Palestinians(thanks for the elaboration, we wouldn't know which group you're referring to) but not others?(implying that Israel's nationalism is unjustified, and saying 'not others' gives generalization to zooming out to include other country nationalisms as well.). This is basically an over simplification of this conflict, unless you can elaborate on the hypocrisy bit? The whole situation of the Palestinian/Israeli conflict is one of decades, overtime the Israel grows in power, militaristically and some economically, while developing political ties to America and others, meanwhile squeezing and shrinking the territory that Palestine and Palestinians can live in. Clearly, objectively to me, Israel is growing more in power than Palestine, so this conflict is asymmetrical and disadvantages the Palestinians. Just as asymmetrical as the Native American tribes versus the early European settlers.

@LSD-Rumi Albeit when I did statement analysis on that text message at 8:56, it was a confusing and suspicious text, has language that is defensive but also a lot of presuppositions of Russell, I didn't like the wording, it's too much guessing statements and too much hubris from her side of the story.

@LSD-Rumi I agree. It's similar to how Mr. Girl was canceled for fighting Destiny, and making content that's more mature, gets banned. Suspicious.

I KNEW IT! Had a intuition of Russel's body language, and so does this guy:

@Sabth At least get yourself a blow horn and a taser. Safe hike!

@Sabth Those are real risks, but nevertheless keep safe in your hiking.

@acidgoofy Never mind, those women were actors standing in for the women telling their stories, so discounting the body language analysis.

@LSD-Rumi Not necessarily every gossip has truth. Just because you can tell a convincing and persuasive story, that doesn't mean it's true. 'Truth tellers tell, deceivers sell.', hence the need for liars to embellish their stories a bit more.

@acidgoofy Yeah, that doesn't look good for him. Honestly if anyone is involved in politics, number one rule is to have no skeletons in the closet. Something like this is Russel Brand's skeleton in his closet, it's really bad. Having said that, I couldn't quite see all the women's faces or body, to do some body language analysis, so I had to do more verbal, discourse and statement analysis of what they're saying...mostly it's defensive, but I felt there's some degree of deception. Probably because of the documentary's portrayal and bias towards painting Russell Brand as a sexual predator, so most footage and edits will be geared to showing that, and telling that narrative. I believe the footages and their presentation has given me that feeling a bit. We'll have to see and wait for an official investigation into this matter, so far I won't be trusting his or their accounts from the documentaries.

@LastThursday That doesn't mean he/she won't be encountering a wolf, a bear, a cougar, or worse, a big foot/sasquatch.

@Husseinisdoingfine Which is what reminded me, even if the historical contents is different,the context is almost the same between the early European settlers and the Apache and comanche. There's a growing population of settlers, with a growing need for more land and buffalo meat or other things, which botb the Apache and Comanche also compete for too. In this situation the native American tribes and early settlers had sucb radically different world views, how could anyone get these groups to coexist peacefully? I suggest people look into this bit of history, it's actually very interesting. I think in regards to the Israel and Palestinian conflict, the resolution is going to be messy, one way or another, unless America's interest increase in this region and they decide to intervene, just how do they do so without putting either side at risk? Of course, Leo's or some other mystic's objections, of an oversimplified one, would be something like 'leave it be', or 'it is what it is for good reason, so let the conflict resolve itself between Israel and Palestine.'. Well, IMO, and view is that given the lead up and current pattern, Israel is taking and decreasing Palestinian territory, makint them live in smaller and smaller areas. Left unchecked, Israel's hegemony will drive out Palestinians out, or are forced to convert into Israel, both which are against Palestine interests. We also can't do this line because now we know that Israel is growing, and shrinking the Palestinians down, we now know this, so very likely no foreign country intervenes will result in Israel assimilating Palestine or driving them out. This option I feel shouldn't be delved into deeply. Which goes to the other option of intervention. How does America intervene? Or any other country then? I think this option is much worth considering, again, considering that Israel is now slightly more powerful than Palestine currently.

@Yimpa Try to use a VPN and see if you can bypass the restrictions that way.
