Protests on the social platform have entered a new phase, with users shirking the platform’s NSFW content rules en masse. The development has some media buyers on high alert, experts say.

    demonitization means taking money away… that doesn’t have anything to do with speech. Posting on YouTube is not “speech” in the traditional sense. Posting on YouTube is content creation.

        “Speech” in terms of the context in which you’ve been trying to use it means that you’re free in an open forum. Speech would be going out on to the sidewalk and saying things to people. Speech would be your ability to make a platform like YouTube for others to make videos and say whatever they want.

        Just as you do not have the right to demand air-time on ABC news to rant about whatever you want; you do not get the right to demand space on YouTube to rant about whatever you want either. When you post on YouTube (or Lemmy / Kbin / reddit) those things you say are not “speech.” The posts you make are content for someone else’s platform.

          I really don’t know where you got that from. And I’m not freaking demanding anything. Just pointing out things that corporates be doing. Can’t we fucking have conversation about how corporations can use their power to influence and direct conversation to be more “ad friendly” without people butting in with “aCtUally it’S wElL witHin thEiR righTS”. I know that. I think most people do. Doesn’t mean we can’t talk about it or shit on the company.

          You are free to understand me any which way you want but “speech” exists also on non-public or self-owned platforms. That’s just dumb to argue otherwise. I’m right here, “speeching” away, on someone else’s platform.
