This is disgusting, yt has gone too far this time. I believe this gentleman puts it best.
If you can't use the link to his twitlonger post for whatever reason, I'll post it below.
A YouTube Story that needs to be told
One thing that's going to come up time and time again during Technocracy is how each platform curates speech and who they decide to remove from their platforms. The debate of how much a platform should adhere to the idea of free speech is a long and tenuous one and there will be a time to truly get into that.
However one thing that must be said, and said now is that when a platform is able to hone in and target someone they do not like and just cut them lose from the platform regardless of their terms of service or their rules, then we should assume that they stand for whatever is currently on their platform.
I want to bring attention to the story of Mumkey Jones. I should have done this a long time ago, but this is pertinant now. He is a comedian, on the edgy side, so I know why YouTube wouldn't be the keenest to have him around. However, YouTube has sided with him in the past. he had previously had his account deleted, but it was restored. He also had videos that were demonetized remonetized.
This time his accounts had been deleted in a manner that seems all but targeted. One of the videos that was deleted was a private video with zero views, so false flagging was not a possibility. Community outreach has tried to have his account reinstated, but to this point there has been no avail. In fact, it appears that the YouTube twitter account has muted Mumkey Jones.
Recently a podcast that Mumkey Jones was on was permanently demonetized. Mumkey's girlfriend also started an account that he posted content to. This loophole has allowed other controversial YouTubers to return to the platform, as it's technically not a violation of the rules - appearing in a channel that belongs to someone else.
I want to point this out because roughly at the same time, there was another YouTuber - Peluchin Entertainment. I am not going to link his videos and I'd highly recommend avoiding watching his videos. This YouTuber filmed himself brutally murdering a cat. Despite numerous reports, and complaints to YouTube his channel is still up, and I believe that video itself is also still up.
Remember, YouTube has the ability to knock off anyone that they want, regardless of their terms of service, regardless of community outreach, justice, or complaints. So... we should assume that anything on YouTube's platform is something that they as a company support. People have brought attention to this with the hashtag #JusticeforMumkey, which is certainly a good one. However, I think one that's a little bit more powerful is #YouTubePromotesCatMurder.
