Since the election of Trump, YouTube has been busy destroying the financial viability of many platforms using their services with which they disagree. All the myriad of actions have one thing in common, they reduce the money flow and eyeballs attracted by these independent platforms. This reduction in ad revenue reduces revenue not only to these independent content producers but to YouTube itself. Starting on December 10th of this year, YouTube’s new TOS will allow YouTube to completely delete any YouTube channel that it deems not financially viable. So what you have here is:
1) YouTube targeted a select set of independent content producers;
2) reduced their ability to generate income for both YouTube and the content producer;
3) and now they will be deleting these content producers because they are not financially viable.
Why would any business do something this boneheaded? Because they are not really a business in the normal sense of the word. They are a controlled adjunct of the US Federal Government’s deep state. Born of your tax dollars and used against the good US Citizens who paid the bill.
YouTube has been a subsidiary of Google since November of 2006 and of course Google was the result of a DARPA project with Stanford University in 1998.
