90s christian rock was an all time high, like what. The us has always had christian music at some sort of chart topper. P.O.D and Switchfoot were some of the bigger bands to hit radio. While most other radios did music by genre and top hits, christian music has always had specific channels for radio Church stuff and music. Fuck skillet was big for the longest time. Christian music is in basically every fucking genre.

Was it? 😲

It is, but 'Christian' is definitely a genre for when they push it harder than mainstream's grooving to. We see it much more pronounced now compared to years back though from less of music carrying that religion as the presumption, typically being used as more of an archetypal genre addition like 'Christian Metal'.

Yeah... I really hate that trend. As someone who purposely goes out of their way to find videos with surprisingly high dislike counts they've just shut off an entire venue of intrigue for me. Now the only fail-content seeking I can do as readily are low view counts. 

There's some browser add-ons like this one that plan on using retired dislike data as well as those integrated through their own network, but this is just a bandage at best. At this point why even have the dislike button, for just the uploader and Youtube to see? 

Spatial is right about the censorship and it's all in the name of feefees. The dislike button is an example.

We are creating a generation of weak spoiled brats that will ruin everything and I will enjoy it as it burns. There is still room for it to go well, but I won't enjoy that nearly as much.

I don't see it as being all that different from where we were before, albeit over different subject matter. 

Same problem, different labels. 

 

 Who exactly is being censored tho?

I cant use the dislike button, for example. You can't say mean words online anymore.

Trump was banned off twatter the moment he was not the president, such pretentious cocksuckers at twatter, didn't have the balls to ban him while he is the president and did it instantly right after. That's is so incredibly weak. And anyone that reposts his tweets was banned too apparently, if that is not a monopoly on thought, idk what is:

https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-57018148 

Tommy Robinson was banned from FB:

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/feb/26/tommy-robinson-banned-from-facebook-and-instagram 

The allegations against him are fake, there was never shown any proof of them ever. He just had a different opinion than the mainstream social networks. And after that, idk if it's still in power, anyone posting his name in a post, or even having his face in a pic (including accidental ones) were automatically removed from FB. They literary tried to erase him from the internet.

Alex Jones was banned from multiple platforms at the same time. His ban was the most legit, but you can tell they collaborate and use their power at anyone with a different opinion. And even tho it's legit, in terms of TOS, it is still BS lol.

A comedian was forbidden from using the internet at all, for teaching his pug to do a nazi salute, as a joke:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2018/03/21/for-weeks-he-trained-a-dog-to-do-a-nazi-salute-the-man-was-just-convicted-of-a-hate-crime/ 

AUS made it so each platform is responsible for what people post online, so if someone says slander, it's not on him, it's on the platform. A lot of media sites banned AUS from posting comments altogether. They also made a law where the police are allowed to log into your media accounts and post or delete while in there, by law, without a warrant lol. They need a warrant to charge you... but they can in fact incriminate you first and then get it lmao.

Milo Yanopolis was also banned off twatter, just for being conservative. But his book was canceled because of slander from a journalist painting him as a pedo. They used a clip from a podcast, that I actually watched before that and it was taken out of context intentionally. They sat on this for months too, they prepare for these actions, its not just for clicks, it's malicious and intentional.

During the gamergate controversy, there were emails leaked that also showed how gaming journalists collaborate on who to slander and who to praise, based on political and personal views (progressive leftist views ofc).

This is just off the top of my head. This is not new and I have stopped watching it in detail about a year or more ago. So I forgot a few and there are probably many new cases.

You can, it just doesn't have as much room to form a bandwagon and your words will lack the permanence they once carried. 

Speaking as someone who has used the dislike button during live streams to see if they care about that kind of thing, this disarms me and others like me from trying to spike their mood down (unless they can still see it). For chat meanwhile this if anything seems to be making people try harder than usual to get their message seen, knowing that even if it's deleted that it will still be witnessed before it goes away. 

It's been a strange push-and-pull.

Before is when we had liked on youtube. Maybe a few years more back. Before the mass economical immigration and the communist spoiled colleague kids. I would say it was fine at that point.

Here is a playlist, its hellworld:

They did it on Jan 8 after the capital riot, so pretty much on his way out (Jan 20). Pretty wild to do that with a sitting president.

i want this shirt

 Who exactly is being censored tho?

Alex Jones is a prime example that signaled that this could happen to anyone, but largely the 'Hate Speech' types and those who'd push for more regressionist values of intolerance. Whether I agree with the content itself that's being taken down or not though is independent of if I think it ought to be taken down, as while I don't necessarily like people learning those things I do see it as otherwise opening the conversation. We even see people who aren't pushing intolerant ideas being flagged over corporate concerns over the website's image, like some of Contra's older videos. 

Usually they'll take videos down over matters of race, but over matters of gender they have more room to get away with it for some reason. Even Seinfeld doesn't quite translate the same now as it used to. Netflix even took down the episode 'Advanced Dungeons and Dragons' from the show Community over how it has Chang wearing Black Face (as a Drow), and their use of black face was meant to mock the concept of it rather than anything related to IRL races beyond a tongue-in-cheek referential. 

 Alex Jones isn't being censored. There are still plenty of platforms to use. He was was on Periscope for one and censorship is mostly done through government mean. YouTube and Facebook aren't government platforms. YouTube states through it's ToS the following in regards to Hate Speech: 

Hate speech is not allowed on YouTube. We remove content promoting violence or hatred against individuals or groups based on any of the following attributes:

Age
Caste
Disability
Ethnicity
Gender Identity and Expression
Nationality
Race
Immigration Status
Religion
Sex/Gender
Sexual Orientation
Victims of a major violent event and their kin
Veteran Status
If you find content that violates this policy, report it. Instructions for reporting violations of our Community Guidelines are available here. If you've found a few videos or comments that you would like to report, you can report the channel.

 And then further 

You as a content creator that monetizes videos must read through all terms of service if you want to continue to use the service/platform. Alex Jones still has the ability to whine and honk about his conspiracy theories elsewhere he's just mad that he no longer has the YouTube algorithm working for him and that he no longer receives that google paycheck. These people aren't being censored.

That doesn't mean he isn't being censored, that just means that other platforms exist. 

This was true when it was the religious right gripping the censor before as well in the same way. When you couldn't publish your ideas on TV or in Magazines back in the day people had Zines and Cult Theaters, does this mean there was no censorship in the past? If we go back to The Red Scare, writers and actors who were believed to be a risk were blacklisted from working with most companies, but not all, so were they not censored? If we go even further back in history to when people were being stoned to death for painting Christian media, they were able to get away with it by painting rings of light and fish, so were those artists not censored? 

He was was on Periscope for one and censorship is mostly done through government mean. YouTube and Facebook aren't government platforms. YouTube states through it's ToS the following in regards to Hate Speech: 

Youtube to match up with the times, over fears of their sponsors and other side-profit margins, changes their ToS and then has to clean off former content that once matched up with their guidelines. 

Youtube meanwhile is an extremely centralized platform, it's built into Smart TV's, game consoles, tons of means of accessibility. They are a major platform that, with the use of their Youtube TV service, stands in as a replacement for Cable. To say they don't count as a source of censor is to say Cable didn't count either. 

Facebook though, while it was once more centralized... that's mostly boom-tube now with the occasional free upload of something like Buffy. 

You as a content creator that monetizes videos must read through all terms of service if you want to continue to use the service/platform. Alex Jones still has the ability to whine and honk about his conspiracy theories elsewhere he's just mad that he no longer has the YouTube algorithm working for him and that he no longer receives that google paycheck. These people aren't being censored. 

This is censorship, even when it's over 'whining and honking' it's policing what they feel can and can't be shown on their centralized, google-syndicated platform. How they respond to problems has ripples in how other websites feel they should respond to things as well, showing where levels of present and future practices are liable to go if corporate keeps sinking it's claws in while too concerned over it's viewers sensibilities.
