Reporters, @YouTube has not demonetized Crowder. Update your stories accordingly. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

The problem isn't Crowder and the problem isn't monetization. The problem is that @YouTube allows monsters and bullies to become superstars, break YouTube's rules, build an army of loyal, radicalized followers, and then make millions selling them merch that sustains their work. — PolitiTweet.org

For the record, demonetizing Crowder means that @YouTube now treats anti-LGBT harassment the same way it treats pro-LGBT content. Bonkers. https://t.co/6WqsnQhwvE — PolitiTweet.org

.@YouTube drives millions of new customers towards Crowder's high-engagement content, which he then uses to sell "Socialism Is For Fags" shirts for profit. It's a business, and YouTube's technology provides bullies and bigots with an endless supply of news customers. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

Demonetizing 👏 doesn't 👏 work. 👏 Abusers use it as proof they're being "discriminated" against. Then they make millions off of selling merch, doing speaking gigs, and getting their followers to support them on Patreon. The ad revenue isn't the problem. It's the platform. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

So the fuck what. Basically all political content gets "demonetized." Crowder's revenue stream isn't from YouTube ads. It's from selling merch and "Socialism Is For Fags" shirts to millions of loyal customers, that @YouTube continues to drive to his channel. For free. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

Ask yourself this: if @YouTube has actually been enforcing its policies against hate speech and bullying, why does it need an additional policy for supremacist content? Isn't that already included? It's all a smokescreen. They don't enforce any of this shit. Don't fall for it. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

YouTube's new anti-supremacy policy is a joke, a shiny prop meant to distract reporters and advertisers from the reality, which is that @YouTube doesn't actually enforce any of these documents. — PolitiTweet.org

.@YouTube pretends to care about queer and marginalized creators while refusing to protect us from abuse and harassment. @YouTube arms our abusers with the platforms they need to target us when we speak up. @YouTube rewards our abusers with views and money when they do it well. — PolitiTweet.org

@hankgreen Thanks Hank (and Im sorry in advance for the harassment this interaction will bring you). You're one of the good ones. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

Good lord. @YouTube says it didn't punish Crowder because he was "focused primarily on debating" when he repeatedly called me a "lispy queer." You can harass queer people as much as you want as long as its sandwiched between "debating." Unreal. — PolitiTweet.org
